Would you believe me if I told you Mark Cuban didn’t want a peer reviewed answer to his question from the top medical journal
Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The basic truth is the University of Oklahoma fired an instructor because she had the audacity to do her job while trans. Media like CNN are complicit in simultaneously pushing the anti-trans narrative and covering up the brutal outcomes of this societal purge.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

It is extremely notable that there are a lot more than Venezuelans in CECOT, because we put them there. There may even be Americans in there, now or in the future, because ICE is corrupt and unmonitored. Look at how Weiss frames it. Disgusting.
Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

And they do this all the time with different things. The "the left is outraged over Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad!" campaign was the same. Right-wing influencers/commentators regularly invent a version of "the left" that doesn't actually exist. And too often, media/mainstream Dems accept that.

I feel like some news organizations in 2025 are backing away from trans-inclusive language they’d used for a decade or longer—because the nature of both-sidesism is that the right can always create a controversy by insisting there is a controversy.
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?
