For those who haven’t been following, the judge in this case had previously rejected the state’s language, and if he’d rejected it again could have written the summary himself. I guess the initial rejection was just for show

This is absurd. What the amendment would actually do is ban abortion and youth gender-affirming care. Are you getting that… at all from this ballot language? missouriindependent.com/2025/10/07/m...

“Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:

Guarantee women’s medical care for emergencies, ectopic pregnancies, and miscarriages;
Ensure women’s safety during abortions;
Ensure parental consent for minors;
Repeal Article I, section 36, approved in 2024; allow abortions for medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, rape, and incest;
and Prohibit sex-change procedures for children?”

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

I've written my analysis of today's grim Supreme Court oral argument in the conversion therapy case:

As far as the Court's concerned, imaginary medical uncertainty gives states the authority to hurt queer kids, and takes away states' authority to protect them

ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/chile...

The Conservative Justices Don't Trust Any Science That Supports LGBTQ Kids

States that want to facilitate discrimination against LGBTQ people have the Court's blessing. States that want to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination do not.

A year and a half ago, @hencarnell.bsky.social and I investigated the movement to resurrect conversion therapy

Now, oral arguments are about to begin in a Supreme Court case, Chiles v. Salazar, that could overturn bans in 23 states.

@autonomynews.co reached out to every Planned Parenthood affiliate in the U.S. and asked if they are still caring for people with Medicaid.

Here's the list. ⤵️

Garnet Henderson @garnethenderson.com · 5d

Some updates to our list here, and most of them are good—more affiliates tell us they are still caring for people with Medicaid post-"defund."

But an awful lot of these statements come with a "for now" caveat, suggesting things could change in a few weeks or months.

Here’s Which Planned Parenthood Clinics Are Still Seeing Medicaid Patients

In the wake of federal “defunding,” one Planned Parenthood affiliate has halted abortions, another has suspended all Medicaid services, and others are self-pay only. Find out where your local organiza...

Last week, I wrote about the impact of the Alliance Defending Freedom's aggressive PR campaigns humanizing its anti-LGBTQ clients, so I appreciate the New York Times illustrating my point by immediately running a credulous, soft-focus profile of an anti-LGBTQ Alliance Defending Freedom client

The Story of This Supreme Court Term Is Already On YouTube

How conservative activists are building a shared cultural understanding about who deserves the law’s protections, and who does not.
