So not only will this useful aid program be destroyed, hurting lots of people, but the product is likely to be destroyed as well, simply wasting it. But I'm sure Glorious Orange Leader and his Co-President will be happy to pocket the "savings" personally. And people suffering is a bonus.

I'm so glad I'm up to date on all of my vaccinations, including MMR. And at this point, I doubt the Glorious Leader cares, because he doesn't care if his sycophants die, because he never expects to ever leave power. Elections are for suckers.

Well that was weird. Here I am Westminster to talk to some MPs about trans rights. Am killing time in Starbucks. And who should walk in but Wes Streeting. He clearly cannot always tell. Two trans girls here and he didn't notice.

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them. The latest from new EITM writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Scapegoating and harassing a minority who are hurting or inconveniencing absolutely no one. A petty, unfair, utterly unnecessary move. Red meat for stupid people. "After Trump’s order, Rubio’s State Department freezes passport applications with ‘X’ gender marker" www.silive.com/politics/202...

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

This is precisely it. Streeting and his allies believe that allowing a child to continue to be trans is ‘harm’ because they see being trans as inherently bad. Conversely they see conversion therapy, starting with denial of medication, as ‘good’ because it might ‘save’ someone from being trans.

For British trans people: You legally are owed healthcare If your GP says no and you can afford it, sue them If you can't, then ask to see someone else and write the most brutal middle class sounding complaint you can They are not allowed to deny you trans healthcare

1. The first major federal fight over transgender people post-election is here. A federal provision has been added into the NDAA that would pull certain healthcare from transgender servicemembers' families. If Democrats stay unified, it could be blocked. Subscribe to support my journalism.

If you were unclear as to why Jesse Singal is here, this is the point, this is the bit. Trans folks made a space, separate from him, his followers, and the harassment they bring. He is attempting to import those followers and that harassment of trans women here, because it makes content for him.

Investigations into youth and adult trans care… This would be fulfilling a promise Trump made last year: “at any age.”

Top of the agenda is to go after providers of gender affirming care, including for adults. The FTC could also go after online platforms for displaying LGBTQ content which would be supercharged under KOSA. This is catastrophically bad.

Transgender activists (yes, that's Chelsea Manning in the suit!) just staged a sit-in inside the congressional bathroom closest to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, to protest GOP-led efforts to keep trans people from using restrooms that match their gender identity. They were arrested. Story TK
