Why Medicaid programs are cutting back on a popular therapy for autism : Shots - Health News www.npr.org/sections/sho...
It's the 'gold standard' in autism care. Why are states reining it in?
Budget shortfalls and nearly $1 trillion in looming federal Medicaid cuts have prompted states to rein in spending on a widely embraced autism therapy, pinching families who depend on the services.

Exactly.
Yesterday, Trump called for the MILITARY TO ATTACK AMERICAN CITIES.
Yesterday, a judge ruled that ICE IS A SECRET POLICE whose aim is to SILENCE AND INTIMIDATE AMERICANS.
Trump needs to be removed from office.

NCOSE is an anti-porn, Christian morality group that used to be known as Morality in Media. They have campaigned against gay marriage and sex ed. They published an article called "Connecting the Dots: The Line Between Gay Marriage and Mass Murders". So yeah...anyway, KEEP CALLING PAYMENT PROCESSORS!
NCOSE takes a swing. As I predicted, they're a key player in all of this. They've been obsessed with Steam since 2018, when Steam actually opened the door to adult content after NCOSE tried to get a ton of visual novels (like HuniePop) pulled

"Able-bodied on Medicaid" ... riiight. For just the logistics, how do you plan to get these people to the agricultural areas? Many, if not most, live far away. Plus, able-bodied might mean debilitating mental illness, age, or intellectual disability. None deserve this. Fuck your eugenics, Rollins.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb.

It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around.

It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

News: The most recent GOP reconciliation bill no longer has the provision to ban Medicaid from being used on gender-affirming care

The parliamentarian had disqualified the provision, but Republicans had left it on the text — it now has been removed
