A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

At least here is some good news
BREAKING: The Supreme Court protected affordable access to PrEP and other lifesaving preventive care coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act. In addition to PrEP access, this ruling protects affordable access to screenings for breast cancer, depression, Hepatitis B & C and other STIs.

I, for one, do not mind a handout
Commenting on Mamdani, Eric Adams says "there's nothing dignified" about a "handout."

"New Yorkers are not looking for someone just to give them a handout."

Just called my Ohio reps and they said that “the people of LA are victims of illegal immigrants” what a crock of shit. These people are monsters
Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

Well did he ever think women don’t want him in their doctor’s office? Ugh what hypocrisy.
I didn't come to Congress to be a part of a political circus that attacks the LGBTQ+ community or free speech. I came to defend our state from MAGA Republicans agenda.

Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier
Under the ACA, plans sold on the individual or small-group Marketplaces have to provide coverage for certain treatments called Essential Health Benefits (EHB). Only a few treatments (like abortion) are prohibited from coverage as an EHB by HHS--but insurers are not banned from covering it altogether

1. It is time that countries begin accepting trans refugees from the United States.

Refuge has always been a defining act in times of political persecution—this is one of those moments. History will remember who opens the door.

I make the case in my latest.

Countries Should Accept Transgender Refugees From The United States
The situation on the ground for transgender people is deteriorating in real time in the United States. Other countries should open up refugee programs to allow those moving from the US.

This is the first major victory for trans rights in the second Trump administration.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
