I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

The Trump administration, not satisfied with taking medically necessary and lifesaving care away from children who are trans, has decided that they want to regulate manufacturing of chest binders because it's a medical device. Well if it is, then insurance should f'ing pay for it... Which they don't
In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

I'm never giving a dime to a Democratic candidate again in the future. I'm deleting my Actblue account today.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I don't know why, but I always find removing seriously impacted earwax to be very satisfying. Like there's a million things I can't fix for patients for multiple reasons... But I can give them clean ear canals.

Making government documents accessible to blind and low vision Americans is too woke for him. So I hope this dumb MFer goes blind so he can experience the difference between Calibri and Times New Roman using a screen reader first hand.

Instead of focusing on elitist issues, like affordability, Democrats need to focus on the issues that Americans really care about, like pictures of trans people on cases of light beer.

If you’re upset that men wear makeup, your life isn’t hard enough. It just isn’t.
Less “may they find compassion in their hearts”.
More “may they discover that their pipes are leaking into the walls the same day that their job gets replaced by a racist LLM”. That’ll focus some priorities.

This prick ripped off regular Americans, he stole millions from middle class/working class folks. And Trump pardons him. Don’t ever again tell me Trump gives a flying fuck about middle class folks. He never has.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.
Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.
Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"
