GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Trump’s all-out assault on the VA is a complete betrayal of our Veterans.
Mark my word. This is Republicans' plan all along—
Gut the VA, then push to privatize the Department so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires.
And our heroes will pay the price. apnews.com/article/vete...

Why is everything so dumb
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

The goods we export from Oregon help our economy thrive. Trump’s tariffs will raise costs for consumers and be a disaster for the state’s farmers, fishing industry, wine producers, semiconductor manufacturers, lumber yards, and more.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.
Every Democrat who lost in a district in 2024 should hold a town hall if those Republicans won't.
