An inependent review of medical evidence on trans youth healthcare found substantial evidence of benefit, and no evidence of harm.
This was one of our top stories this year. Legacy news, who extensively covered a review finding the opposite, ignored this.

Plentiful Data, No Regret: What the Utah Review on Youth Trans Care Found — Assigned
A 1,000-page report by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah, which found care safe and effective, stands out from others: It’s both independent and an actual review of the evidence.

The stock price of America's largest for-profit hospital chain, HCA, just hit a record high.
People can't afford healthcare.
20 million people are facing higher ACA premiums next year.
And HCA has received $5.6 BILLION in Trump tax cuts in the last ten years.
We're being scammed.

People asked me why I blame the media. When capital gains taxes have come up for debate, news pieces often say the cap gains tax affects middle income people with 401(k)s. That is a LIE.
Republicans and the media have lied about this in order to promote capital gains tax cuts, but that is the law.

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.
