Feature, not bug www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Here is the statement from Planned Parenthood Arizona announcing that it will no longer provide healthcare services to patients with Medicaid insurance. (Note the use of the verbs “force” and “restrict” when we know that PPWI made a different decision)

😡 At this point, the harm this will cause to so many is a feature, not a bug.

Trump's petition asking the Supreme Court to let him officially redefine (read: rescind) birthright citizenship is now available and I wish I did not have to worry about the Supreme Court taking seriously such obviously, egregiously unserious & racist bullshit www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

My recommendation: We should understand the Constitution as fundamentally transformed by the Reconstruction Amendments, imbued with a new liberatory directive to finally make multiracial democracy real. Interpretation undermining that goal is illegitimate. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

AZ's Board of Pharmacy said pharmacists can administer the new COVID-19 vaccine to anyone ages 6 years of age and older who want it.

Trump raised $8 million for Hurricane Helene survivors. Where did it all go? The presidential campaign bad-mouthed FEMA while using crowdfunding to donate to evangelical nonprofits. grist.org/accountabili... #Climate #GoFundMe #Trump #Disaster #FEMA #Evangelical

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

This is ridiculous. Here's the District contact page. www.chinovalleyschools.com/information/...

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...

SCOTUS CORRUPTION ALERT 🚨 Brett Kavanaugh is set to rule on a case he lost 25 years ago. He has a clear conflict of interest. My colleague @andrewlseidel.bsky.social broke the news on his pod One Nation Indivisible: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/0...

"...if late-night hosts can be punished for their jokes, it won’t be long before atheists, dissenters and defenders of secular government are punished simply for telling the truth. The First Amendment is not a privilege doled out by those in power." freethoughtnow.org/first-they-c...

This is what it looks like when a judge stands up for the integrity of our secular democracy. "The government...conditions ownership and land use on the advancement of religious activity. The State compels religious use and excludes all secular purposes. It favors religion over nonreligion."
