The Trump Administration is once again attacking access to life-saving, gender-affirming care for young people by trying to strong arm providers into choosing between their patients and Medicaid reimbursements.

We won't stand for it. We're suing.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for the Woodland Whispers Doorbell. I have no idea how to use this. If I got to someone's house and they had one I would simply turn around and leave. Introverts love it.

Forget morality or representation or political advantage… DC Statehood is now a necessity, because without it, the Federal Government can deploy troops to the streets.

And that’s not a “this could happen” slippery slope thing, it’s happening now!
It's a unanimous decision but the two Trump appointees write separately to say DC might not have standing to sue the federal government because it does not have independent sovereignty like a state does.
A unanimous D.C. Circuit panel clears the way for Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., staying a lower court's order that foudn the deployment illegal. The panel

Millett: Obama
Rao: Trump
