Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The honest version of this post would note that these are white Republicans trying to eliminate the district of the state's only Black US rep. You cannot tell this story properly without headlining the racism.

Israel is a state, not a person, it is a government, not an ethnicity, it is an army, not a synagogue, it is a system of laws, not an article of religious clothing, it is an economy, not a charity.

Texas eliminated 5 Democratic seats with no voter approval. Louisiana suspended election with no voter approval. Tennessee erased last majority-Black district with no voter approval. But VA Supreme Court blocks redistricting map approved by 3 million voters www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump’s sons signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

Dr. Debby Day said her bosses at Cigna gave her a stark warning: Work faster, or the company might fire her. She said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers.” (Published April 2024 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

“The move disqualifies loans for those studying for careers as advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, social workers, counseling and mental health practitioners,..” www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Israel just abducted activists, journalists & humanitarians from the Global Sumud Flotilla — including our contributor Alex Colston. Zeteo demands that Israel immediately release those kidnapped & calls on the UN, the US & governments across Europe to take urgent action & hold Israel accountable.

The FBI arrested scientist David Morens today, prosecuting the Trump administration's batshit conspiracy theories about COVID-19. www.science.org/content/arti...

this is very funny as well as good evidence — you know, beyond what we can see with our own eyes — that there is not some epidemic of anti-white discrimination

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

This is the result of decades of organizing in the conservative legal community that’s been allowed to flourish in plain sight as anything but a committed ideological movement.

The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

We murdered three more people in a boat today

I hate to say it, but they're right. The way to solve this nation's epidemic of gun violence is to construct more ballrooms.

Wild idea I know, but I wouldn't be okay with my teen and a chat bot in any capacity. Meta is violating teen privacy just to avoid dealing with the damage this has been doing to cognitive and mental health.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Video shows smoke rising above the southern town of Khiam in Lebanon after the Israeli army carried out explosions, despite the ceasefire extension announced by President Trump. Israeli forces are accused of demolishing homes to make the area uninhabitable.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

They’re trying to get SPLC staffers killed. They won’t rest until they do, because it’s a death cult.

Inside Palantir, people are finally waking up to the fact that they might actually be the bad guys Great reporting once again from @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/palant...

518,428 children have died preventable deaths in the year since Musk dismantled USAID, saying, “Time for it to die.”

Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.

Eric Trump -- the president's son -- is on Maria Bartiromo's show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

There's no legal basis for these boat strikes, and US officials involved in them should be prosecuted for attempted murder and murder. The OLC memo green-lighting the strikes is still secret, but there's nothing it could say that would make these strikes lawful. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

So the Justice Department admits in its own filings that the following groups are extremist groups. Can someone ask Patel and Blanche how aggressively DOJ/FBI are monitoring them, considering how dangerous they are? Are they screening gov employees for affiliations with these groups?

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats • The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

We must use US taxpayer dollars to backstop the UAE Which is facing economic problems caused by the war Trump started and doesn't know how to win A war encouraged by leaders of the UAE Who have given hundreds of millions in bribes to Trump, his family, and associates

This is superb reporting by BBC News’ Nick Marsh on spikes in insider trading ahead of Trump’s Truth Social pronouncements and weirdly accurate predictions on the betting market Polymarket. Well worth a read. “The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency”

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Among the many should-immediately-end-this-presidency daily scandals is the fact that the current administration is dismantling research on the most incredible new scientific advance in the last several decades. Literally killing people.

10¶¶ later, WSJ seems to reveal that Trump was too lazy to go from the residence to the Situation Room to monitor the rescue of an airman. This was the weekend people THOUGHT he was having a health crisis. Was he?

These two ¶¶ more than 35 ¶¶ into an adventure in sanewashing would be the entire story if reporters cared about accountability for Trump. www.wsj.com/politics/nat... Trump was warned abt Strait. He ignored those warnings. Now he confesses he was wrong.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
