23 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Coalition of 19 states file suit against Dept of Health & Human Services and Secy Robert F. Kennedy Jr over new policy that threatens to withhold Medicare/Medicaid payments from any hospital that provides pediatric affirming care to trans kids.

ICYMI: The full Law Dork report on Tuesday’s big SCOTUS decision against the Trump administration in its effort to send troops into American cities.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

20,000 words, 150 footnotes, 100+ timeline events = our attempt at documenting and synthesizing all the ways that the federal government has attempted to destroy access to gender-affirming care since January unbreaking.org/issues/trans...

RO KHANNA - “Let me be very clear, we need a full release. Anyone who tampers [with] documents, or conceals documents, or engages in excessive redaction will be prosecuted because of obstruction of justice. www.thedailybeast.com/pam-bondi-ge...

Good night, ’Merica 🇺🇸 Good morning, Denmark 🇩🇰 Imagine opening your inbox as head of University of Southern Denmark to hundreds of emails calling out your university’s unethical work—experimenting on babies. Maybe enough outrage & bad publicity to shut the study down We can dream. (And email.) 😴✉️

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

hey that's from us ! @bnsteam.bsky.social :-)

Silencing a black woman's voice is so on brand for that knuckle dragging knotty-pated dewberry. 🤬

Same! Always pink sheets.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

The Trump administration says it will dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a cornerstone for American climate and weather science. I went on NPR today to explain what this could mean for climate research. Listen here:

SCOOP: House Democrats suspected a few in their caucus would support a bill criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans youth So Sarah McBride reached out to Republicans Four Rs — Fitzpatrick, Lawler, Kennedy, Evans — joined Dems in opposing the bill www.notus.org/congress/mcb...

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

1. Transgender Rep. Sarah McBride railed agianst GOP attacks on transgender people and incoming bills today, joined by Reps. Ocasio-Cortez and Johnson. "They are obsessed with transgender people." Read my latest, watch the video here, and subscribe to support our journalism.

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

Some perspectives from our community on what NCAR means to weather and climate researchers: "NCAR is quite literally our global mothership" @katharinehayhoe.com "I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life..." @climateflavors.bsky.social #SaveNCAR

Congress has missed its chance to prevent a premium spike in Affordable Care Act health insurance plans. But lawmakers still have a chance to reverse it. Sorta. Here's what that would look like:

Simply outrageous!

100 days of Kavanaugh stops. Read my report at Law Dork:

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, which means the subsidies will lapse. Millions of Americans will pay much higher fees or will drop their health insurance altogether. Republicans did this while making sure rich people got a tax cut.

LOSES?!?!?!!?! No. HHS canceled grants previously awarded to AAP — in what certainly looks like a retaliatory act.

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors. Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

“NCAR has played a greater role in advancing weather prediction & atmospheric modeling than perhaps any other single entity in the world,” says @weatherwest.bsky.social Dismantling NCAR would be “like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.” KH

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

"Unsurprisingly, the White House is trying to lie its way through it. The only explanation offered so far for Trump's mangled hand is a laughable one about 'frequent handshaking.' And president now says it's 'treasonous' to report on his health."

Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

Cassidy continues to pay lip service to the public health catastrophe he created with his cowardice.

This afternoon, I was in a meeting with Jay Bhattacharya, and I can confirm this is *exactly* what he both wants and will be doing. THIS IS NOT HYPERBOLE.

Tonight's Law Dork is a story about both the growing frustration from the bench about the unprofessionalism of A.G. Bondi's DOJ in the second Trump administration and more evidence of the overly aggressive — and ultimately illegal — way the administration is attacking transgender people.

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

ICYMI Dept of Education will no longer considers these professional degrees: Nursing Public health Social work Physician assistant Occupational therapy Physical therapy Audiology Speech-language pathology Social work Counseling & therapy Health Admin A smaller health workforce makes us all sicker

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects DOJ's effort to subpoena the names and medical records of children who have received gender-affirming medical care from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Reminder: RFKjr is not a doctor. Never went to medical school, and is questionable as a functioning human. He east road kill, had a brain worm, and his family hates him. So maybe we all should tell Bobby jr. To fuck off.

As we were saying :/
