go comment! mine focused on the fact that ACA insurance should cover evidence-based medicine, and transition and gender affirming care are evidence-based.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Trump just denied the Musk/China story. Then a few minutes later the WSJ confirmed it. Any guesses who’s governing the country right now?

It's pretty remarkable that Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter but acquiring the US government only cost him around $250 million.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

And add further to this, these are people who the US government is arguing in court have already been removed! They are not removable anymore, they are in fact, people who have been removed! So any imprisonment is obviously unconstitutional.

RFK Jr.’s organization is using the family of the 6-year-old girl who died of measles to convince other parents NOT to vaccinate. This is completely disgusting and is a symptom of our post-truth society. The head of HHS is undermining evidence-based science and further victimizing this family.

Tom Nichols whole thing is he was wrong about everything and everyone who he said was wrong about everything has been proved right about everything, and the lesson that Tom Nichols took from all this is that Tom Nichols was right about everything and now everyone should listen to Tom Nichols.

Republicans are whining and the NYT is typically "both sides-ing" this, but it's a good to have them constantly playing defense and by proxy amplifying the criticisms Walz is making to a broader audience this has been a cornerstone of right wing messaging success

Hi everyone. If you’re in New York State I need your help to make sure this mask ban doesn’t happen. If you value having me and other disabled & vulnerable people in public, we gotta squish this.

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

There are people who will claim to hate decoder-ring politics when a liberal is going on about an OK sign, then turn around and trust ICE to discern a hidden meaning in a tattoo.

Progressives were supposed to unconditionally surrender on policy (yet we're supposed to focus on better governance), we were supposed to ignore the threats to vulnerable communities that Trump posed (threats even sharper now), and we were supposed to suck up even more to tech oligarchs.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

News that Columbia is considering ceding to the Trump admin’s demands that it change how it regulate speech on campus and teaches students in order to continue to receive federal funds made me think of this passage from a speech that UChicago President William Rainey Harper gave in 1900

He didnt "fail," he never intended to and he is explicitly friendly to the aggressors. God I wish mainstream media stopped indulging the fantasy that he was ever serious in his intent to do so.

so, one thing we should keep in mind is that tesla was a going concern before elon came on board, and the cybertruck is the one tesla product that is indisputably his - and it's a incomprehensibly bad piece of shit

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

The Trump administration is trying to destroy an Ivy League university—withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in funding—because it used to have a trans swimmer on its team. Three years ago.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

One nice thing about the Trump era is that it’s revealed how much of the American political, media and economic elite believe in absolutely nothing.
