Federal judge calls RFK Jr. an “unsafe” leader in order protecting trans youth health care The broad ruling was designed to deflect future attacks on gender-affirming care for kids.

NEW: In a scathing ruling describing RFK Jr. as an “unserious” and “unsafe” leader, a federal judge in Oregon issued an order that will protect doctors and hospitals, and the transgender kids they treat.

We can’t afford two more years of unchecked power

In Iowa, Prosecutors Want to Bring Back Court Fees as Bargaining Chips The state’s high court recently ended the practice of making defendants pay fees for charges that get dismissed. Prosecutors are backing legislation to undo the court’s ruling so they can keep using fees as leverage for plea deals.

Under Iowa law, the state can recoup the cost of a public defender or court-appointed lawyer from defendants, even if they can’t afford an attorney. Between 2012 and 2022, the state charged low-income Iowans $151.2 million for their lawyers.

Years ago read about how the Japanese cell phone industry developed features and standards that could only sell to the local market, dubbed “Galapagos syndrome.”

Unless there’s a dramatic turnaround, seems likely that poor leadership and bad policy are driving US auto industry toward the same fate.

The Mask is Off: Major Anti-Abortion Group Calls for Arrest of Abortion Patients Students for Life says it should be "an easy vote"

It was only a matter of time: the powerful anti-abortion org Students for Life has endorsed legislation to imprison abortion patients.

The move marks the biggest shift in anti-abortion politics in decades. jessica.substack.com/p/the-mask-i...

In August, Jay Bhattacharya said “Training future biomedical scientists” was the 1st priority for his version of NIH.

But talk is cheap. Let’s see how JB’s doing. 🤔

NIH supports trainees mostly via fellowship (F), training (T), and career development (K) awards.

Here are funding curves for each.🧵

Tell me why I'm not allowed to buy two boxes of Sudafed because they are afraid I may be cooking meth. However an 18-year-old can go in and buy two AR-15s and 365 rounds of ammunition and no one bats an eye.

The Trump Crime Family doing what it does best, Crime, extortion ,vengeance, corruption, vile shit!

Easy solution: Ban these gluttonous resource hogs.

They run back the same playbook with the same players every Sunday.

The All-Black Ranger Company That Made US Army History The US Army re-instated its Ranger companies for battle in Korea.

Make no mistake: these men weren’t an “experiment.”
They were already some of the best paratroopers in the 82nd and 11th Airborne.
They passed the same brutal Ranger training at Fort Benning — often under harsher scrutiny. (cont)

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

This is nothing short of digital hate crime.

These lawyers need to be disbarred.

Weird how they never do this in areas where Trump won!

DOJ Office of Civil Rights seem very focused on districts with a lot of Black voters.

The Adjudicated Rapist-in-Chief claims he could bring down the Papacy, the Vatican & the entire Catholic Church overnight.

Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants...
dragging that which is sacred into darkness & filth."

tRUMP: "I'm not a fan of Pope Leo."

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

GOP men have been waging war on women’s rights & freedoms for decades++, the latest assault is the Save Act stealing your right to vote & South Carolina’s near total ban on a woman’s bodily autonomy.
Had enough yet, ladies?
Pick yourselves up & fight back!

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

Rep. Jared Huffman: “If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.”

12 days later and still nothing. No parades, press conferences, heroic pictures, interviews, or joyful family members. Something is very wrong.

Wondering what it must be like to live in a compassionate country that prioritizes its hungry citizens over buying more bombs and cutting the taxes of billionaires . . .

Next president should pull all Palantir contracts and make them a pariah

Trump lost the Iran war—hurting both Americans and the Iranian people He must be removed!

Lost in BS corporate media coverage is that Trump's surrender means the Iranians he urged on Day one of the war to take back their government and who did go into the streets will now be targeted for punishment or death by Iran's brutal regime. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-lost...

Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.

Who knew how many things we use helium for? With all these uses and the limited supply, you can say it's “another fine mess Trump has gotten us into.”

Yikes! Always something…

We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI.

📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
