I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes.
You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that.
Please share as well.

There is a type of man who likes to think of himself as dangerous in a "jungle cat ready to pounce" sort of way when he is actually dangerous in the "old bridge that you're crossing starts ominously groaning" sort of way.

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."
reading the HHS "gender dysphoria report" summary and this is some truly insidious shit. sure, all the studies SAY the kids are happier, but we bet they aren't actually. they're all hopped up on something we bet probably
