You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

That’s a huge deal & essentially tells you what’s in store for everyone else. This will force a change in large trucking manufacturers around the world & impact the price of diesel.

Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with.
It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
