CRNP working in pediatrics- can concur Genital reconstruction under 18 occurs but for ambiguous genitalia, NOT trans care

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

The orange felon’s vendetta against Harvard in just one photo.

They buried it

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

NEW: After ~20% of the FDA’s workforce was cut, fed health officials have decided to rehire some scientists at the FDA’s food safety labs.  How many fired employees will be permitted to return remains unclear. About 40 employees at the Moffett Lab in Chicago & at a SF-area lab #BlueSky #MedSky

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Remember, when you start paying the tariff tax on your Home Depot or many other receipts, it's actually a "gift tax" you are paying to the wealthy.

“Liberals all want participation trophies” says the party whose leader is throwing himself a parade for his birthday.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse. www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-c...

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

📌"Never underestimate the women in America. All four liberal justices on our court in Wisconsin are women. Watching them on that stage last night gave me goosebumps. They-were-feeling-it. THEY DID THIS. They stood up to the patriarchy and all that damn money, and showed them who the REAL boss was."

pro tip: if you can afford to blow $250 million on a losing campaign in Wisconsin, you can afford to pay a 90% top tax margin

Yup

Projection again? Shocking

Can’t wait to the the cuts food processing companies will take and the entirely predictable outcomes Buy local, buy small

Some 2,000 scientists, including dozens of Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter warning that the U.S. lead in science is being "decimated" by the Trump administration's cuts to research.
