HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is. I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need. We told you this was coming www.advocate.com/politics/ant...

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Adriana Smith was 9 weeks pregnant when she died. Her body has being kept ‘alive’ by machines for the last 3 months, (and is ongoing) forced to grow a foetus that has fluid in the brain and may not survive birth. All because of Georgia’s abortion ban. This is absolutely sickening.

NSF is undergoing a massive shake-up: over 80 senior staff cut, remote work banned, the equity-in-STEM division eliminated, and hundreds of research grants scrapped. This isn’t budget efficiency—it’s a direct attack on U.S. science, education, and equity. www.eenews.net/articles/nsf...

Trump’s “tariff truce” with China is like showing up with a mop & bucket after setting the house on fire. Small businesses already got burned with tariffs they can't pay on inventory stuck overseas. This 90-day pause doesn’t fix the wreckage. It’s a Band-Aid on a gut wound.. #TariffScam
