Reed is pathetic and your piece is incredible

A growing number of Americans believe that gender-affirming care will become less accessible in their lifetime, a new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll finds — reflecting a political landscape that has become increasingly hostile toward transgender people and their health care.

also this story from @mmolteni.bsky.social about the long history of tylenol is just a stunner and y'all need to read it. it has everything — malaria, Napolean, Jesuits, hydroxychloroquine and the Biggest of Big Pharma www.statnews.com/2025/09/25/t...

As always, @rosebroderick.bsky.social delivers.

Mothers regularly shoulder the "blame" for having a child with autism. So when autistic moms watched Trump insist — despite little scientific evidence — that Tylenol use during pregnancy causes autism, it felt like a return to a dark era. #disability #autism www.statnews.com/2025/09/25/a...

Trump is wrong, doctors say. People who are pregnant should not just "tough it out" when they have a fever Great story from @elizabethcooney.bsky.social @theresagaff.bsky.social and Annalisa Merelli re: the scientific consensus on autism, leucavorin, and Tylenol www.statnews.com/2025/09/24/t...

many people have been saying this...

Re-upping for the morning crowd: what we know about one of the researchers fueling Trump's false push to say Tylenol causes autism www.statnews.com/2025/09/23/r...

It's wild for disability to be such a mainstream topic in the news just week. I just hate that it's because of dehumanizing of autistic people.

Really valuable thread from @ryanbeckwith.bsky.social Tldr if you spend 2000 words describing why Trump made baseless claims about autism and women, we should hear from those groups and get the facts and proper framing about those claims. It's not hard!

Let's go over all the ways in which this is bad journalism. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Trump, Kennedy say the data show that Tylenol use during pregnancy causes autism. It doesn't, but the PACER files show that the researcher whose data is fueling their conclusions was paid $150,000 to testify in a case against Tylenol. www.statnews.com/2025/09/23/r...

someone stop the news

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine. Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Trying to make sense of the fallout from yesterday's wild press conference about autism, Tylenol and vaccines with Trump, Kennedy and other top health officials? Boy have I got @statnews.com stories and a subscription deal for 🫵

Trump/Kennedy about to make an announcement on autism. Follow along here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ia...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

CDC's reversal comes days after officials revoked reasonable accommodations, requiring workers to return to the office with little notice. It appears that all workers with accommodations can now continue teleworking, though peep the story for more details. www.statnews.com/2025/09/19/c...

BREAKING: After a week of uproar from employees, STAT has learned that the CDC has rescinded this telework pause. Story and details forthcoming.

Breaking, from @chelseacirruzzo.bsky.social ar @stat www.statnews.com/2025/09/19/m...

I spoke with five families in the D.C. region about what it's like raising trans kids in Trump's backyard. They shared fears about being personally targeted by the federal government and their joys in raising kids that are learning to express themselves authentically in a difficult world.

CDC's ACIP is about to discuss a potential delay in administering the hep B shot to newborns — here's what's at stake (we're tuning in and will be updating) w/ @elaineywchen.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/09/18/c...

One of those aforementioned nuggets: CDC officials gave David Geier a laptop that allows him access to the country's most robust vaccine safety data — whenever he wants. Read the story to figure out what Geier does (and doesn't) have access to. www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/r...

A late scoop: HHS abruptly cancelled a meeting today w/ Kennedy, David Geier and the officials at a key vaccine safety database. Lots of nuggets, but the upshot: RFK Jr and Geier want to study the pediatric vaccine schedule to find a link with autism. www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/r...

NEW: At her confirmation hearing, Joyce Meyer, President Trump’s nominee for the next under secretary of commerce for economic affairs to oversee the Census Bureau, avoided directly answering whether she agrees the president is unable to conduct a new census before 2030 unless Congress passes a law

In case you missed it last night: the CDC is temporarily pausing all telework. www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/c...

BREAKING: The CDC is temporarily ending remote work. The decision leaves scores of employees in the lurch, even forcing people with disabilities with high-support needs to come into the office. #disability www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/c...

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

NEW: CDC has been ‘censored’ and ‘politicized’ under RFK Jr., former officials plan to tell senators www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/c...

The CDC plans to fund new research on the previously debunked connection between vaccines and autism. More on the proposed research and the researcher tapped for the job: www.statnews.com/2025/09/12/v...

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

The ATF hasn't even verified that any markings related to trans people were found on the recovered ammunition and doesn't match other evidence descriptions. Why did WSJ rush to report otherwise?

incredible

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

Heartbreaking account of what it's like to lose funding for your PhD because of the Trump administration's attitude towards diversity, from my former colleague @marissa-russo.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/09/05/n...

Behold the gloriously weird Spotted Ratfish. It has teeth on its forehead for sex. The teeth line a cartilaginous appendage called a tenaculum that in males can be erected and used to grasp a female during mating 🧪

And now, Kennedy recounts a very different memory of his meeting with Monarez: The health secretary claimed that he asked the then-CDC director if she was “a trustworthy person.” “She said no,” Kennedy said. Very different from Monarez's memory and other reporting (below)

Sure, detransitions happen. But they're *exceedingly* rare, much rarer than anti-trans folks would have you believe.

Another study just dropped showing that trans identity is stable, not a phase. Among 2,467 participants who had obtained a legal change of gender in Sweden, only 21 ppl had asked to reverse the change — less than 1%!! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

malcolm gladwell has been a dipshit for 10,000 hours

Texas is the biggest state in the country to have a bathroom ban on the books, and aside from local news and a few national nonprofits, the coverage of it is pretty small. There are over 160,000 trans adults in the state of Texas
