Drive the care out of large hospitals and then laden small providers with increasingly expensive and unnecessary equipment regulations. Welcome to the anti abortion playbook.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."
It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

"Trump and Musk are trying to rewrite the rules of the system. They seek an anti-constitutional theory of executive power that would make the president supreme over all other branches of government. They do so in service of a plutocratic agenda of austerity and the upward redistribution of wealth"

Bring the Senate to a halt and Kennedy will not be able to be confirmed. And it will draw attention and media coverage to put public pressure against Kennedy.

to be clear, given that musk is claiming that he's deleting payments in the treasury system, that means that somebody is not accurately representing what's going on (and, presumably, it will be easy to tell soon enough given that either lutheran social services will receive its $ or it won't)

If your lifestyle involves a lot of computer time, you need to be doing certain types of extra exercise or the muscles will weaken that shock-absorb your knees, cartilage will start breaking down, and you get permanent knee issues. If you ask your doctor they can give you stretches to ward this off.
