RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Now would be a great time for candidates to campaign on state-level universal healthcare

I’m sorry — the US engages in one of the most significant military acts against another country in 20 years and we don’t get an address from the Oval or the East Room or the Rose Garden or the Roosevelt Room?!
We get the equivalent of a tweet that ends with “now is the time for peace”?! WTF.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.
We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

“scrub your website of trans people to save your funding” MIGHT seem like the rational choice when it’s put to you, but if you agree the main lesson they learn is that you can be strong armed
NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.
This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.
