This could have been way worse.
According to Congressional equality caucus:
vast majority of anti lgbtq+ provisions in earlier versions of the NDAA--including all provisions restricting access to trans healthcare--weren't in final bill
Final does ban trans women from fully participating in women's sports at military academies

![The NDAA should invest in our military, not target minority communities for exclusion.
While we're grateful that most anti-LGBTQI+ provisions were removed, the GOP kept one anti-trans provision in the final bill—and that's one too many.
We're committed to repealing it.
Side by side images. On the left text reads Takano Votes no on FY26 NDAA over a photo of the capitol building. On the right is white text on a dark background that reads:
“Congress has a vital role in securing America’s national security when writing the NDAA. There are key provisions in this year’s bill that are bipartisan, much-needed investments in furthering that goal, but too many other sections of the bill are problematic. Therefore, I voted NO on the FY26 NDAA. [....]
“Earlier this year, House and Senate Republicans’ versions of the NDAA were full of anti-LGBTQI+ provisions, including bans on medically-necessary healthcare for transgender servicemembers and their families—and even a ban on mental healthcare for transgender dependents. Thanks to the leadership and work of Ranking Members Adam Smith and Jack Reed and Democratic leadership in both chambers, the vast majority of these provisions—including all of the provisions restricting access to transgender healthcare—were not in the final bill. Unfortunately, the final bill still contained an anti-trans provision that bans transgender women from fully participating in women’s sports at the military academies, a provision I remain committed to repealing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yzffcfuovjomsauy4saqbdkr/bafkreia7cnbsnrt3fzj57uja44fz4xzskvkbshefv45r6guiavj2nry5gu@jpeg)

I have long thought Tarantino to be our best film critic - but the medium for his critique is film, not print. I was not as taken by Cinema Speculation as I thought I would be - in writing, which has the cadence of his vocal patterns, he's too in love with the shock take. Remember his TOP GUN riffs?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but DEXTER: RESURRECTION is a return to form for the series and character in that it feels just like it belongs in with the first few seasons. Jess and I mainlined it this weekend and blew through it in two nights. So fucking good with the best Dexter cast ever.

Alice Isn't Dead is amazing and if you haven't listened to it before then I urge you to do so.
Now might be an especially good time to read the novel and/or listen to the podcast for...reasons
Alice Isn't Dead. A romantic horror story from Joseph Fink of Welcome to Night Vale. It's a road trip unlike any other.
