No outlet that I've seen has really focused on the intersection of this — that marketplaces disproportionately benefit red states, particularly those that have declined to expand Medicaid — and the fact that the marketplace policies have the most immediate effect (January *2026*)
In an ironic twist, there are now more Republicans, including MAGA supporters, than Democrats enrolled in the Obamacare marketplaces.

Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.
In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.
So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

This is a fact
They did it after due process and following the rule of law

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

A solution to our obesity epidemic?
Experiments show that when bees are exposed to microplastic pollution, their memory gets so muddled they may forget the scents associated with sugary rewards.
As a result, pollination may fail — which is bad news for flowers and crops.

Microplastics may confuse bees and other insects, hurting pollination
Recent studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastics can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

I think we can all rest easier knowing that this immigrant — who earned an MBA and whose job was making sure a hospital had the materials it needed — has been apprehended
His student visa was suddenly revoked but he wasn’t notified—“they don’t want ICE to lose the advantage of surprise” (!!!)—and four days later he was arrested at the hospital where he works.
