Posted to Truth Social by @realdonaldtrump at 2:36 a.m.: Peeta Mellark was treated very unfairly by Nasty Katniss Everdeen, who has gone CRAZY. Katniss looks tough on TV, but we all know she's in a basement in Horrible District 13, which was never "HOT!" See you soon, Katniss!

Labour effectively banned gender affirming care for minors in the UK under right-wing pressure.

Democrats are not taking the bait.

I do think more people should appreciate that Sarah has to be selective about when she draws attention to her identity given the obsessive focus on it by some of her colleagues--she is in a uniquely impossible position. But it also makes it more impactful when she does.
"I was a kid once. I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21, but it's a fact I have known about myself for my entire life," she said. "I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21, and that means 21 years of pain, 21 years of unwavering homesickness that only went away when I was able to get the care that I needed. And my biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that pain. I marvel at the courage of transgender young people today who are sharing themselves with their families and this world, despite the toxicity and the hate that too often emanates from the building behind me and from politicians within it." She concluded, "It is already hard enough to be a kid, and government should not make it harder."

Repro advocates know repro rights are entwined with trans rights. That’s why 50+ banded together to tell Congress that just as politicians have no place making decisions about people’s pregnancies, they have no business interfering with
gender-affirming care.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Breaking tonight - MTG traded an unrelated vote for a promise that she'd get a vote on a bill criminalizing health care for trans youth.

They are in session for like 5 days out of 30 and instead of addressing the affordability crisis, MAGA are sticking their noses into private health care decisions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 10, 2025 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims U.S. House Will Vote on MAGA Bill to Jail Doctors and Parents for Providing Medically Necessary Care to Transgender Youth This afternoon, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that, in exchange for her support for the National Defense Authorization Act, the U.S. House will vote on her bill to charge doctors with a Class C Felony for providing medically necessary, best practice care to transgender young people. The bill, which had been stalled, would subject health care providers to fines and potential jail time for providing care that is recommended by every major medical organization in the country. The bill could also implicate parents who simply support their children in accessing or administering the medication they are prescribed. Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson released the following statement: “Every family should have the freedom and privacy to go to the doctor and get the care their child needs. But politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene and her enablers, who are breathlessly obsessed with using their power to terrorize transgender people, believe they know better than parents and doctors. Now, anti-equality members of the House may consider a bill to put doctors in prison just for doing their jobs. That could mean a pediatrician facing jail time for providing the care they were trained to provide. It could mean a parent being handcuffed and tossed into a police car because they went to the pharmacy and administered their child’s medication as prescribed. Our leaders should be working out a solution to the impending crisis of soaring health care costs and ensuring every child has access to quality health care – not dreaming up new ways to use the power of government to tear people’s lives apart. We will not rest until this bill is defeated.”

In addition, it also seems to include a series of definitions for gender-affirming care that could be restricted. All right here.

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Let us consider for a moment just how batshit insane this is. This isn’t about sports, or locker rooms, or whatever. This is just about children being allowed to be a members of the UK equivalent of Girl Scouts.

And in the UK it’s now (ostensibly, in the eyes of some) legally mandatory.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...
PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025 Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.

This is exactly why this piece is so important. The national conversation has largely flattened the effects of the VRA -- and it's potential demise -- to which party controls Congress. There's so much more to the VRA than that, and so much more on the line
trumpstaxes.com TrumpsTaxes @trumpstaxes.com · 26d
I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.

But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.
