DOJ: Nothing suggests Donald Trump is a sexual predator.
ME (thinking): How could an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, and comes up 100s of times in The Epstein Files, possibly be a sexual predator?

When other nations broadcast news that the US has decided is contraband and won’t broadcast, you know you’re living in a third world authoritarian country.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.
Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.
You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.
You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.
