That is, get her on the Supreme Court
I mean, my Nana was a hurricane, but in the best way possible. A force a nature that gal was!
The Trump/RFK Jr. alliance is built on xenophobia and eugenics.
Brett Kavanaugh's privilege is showing. Justice Sotomayor called him out, politely.
In comments to CMS, NHeLP and 45 other organizations, oppose the proposal to require states to provide "immigration identifiers" for all Medicaid and CHIP recipients via the federal T-MSIS database.healthlaw.org/resource/comments-on-med...
In today's roundup, we have three "actual good news" items, which may be a record.
(Don't ask how many not-good items there are.)
“The "Messy" Plaintiffs Behind So Many Anti-Abortion Lawsuits”
“at the same time that Mitchell was promoting his client as a symbol of aggrieved fathers-to-be, the Galveston man was evading a felony arrest warrant for allegedly beating up the girlfriend whose abortions he claimed to mourn.”
“seems accurate, but is not”
Just say it straight, incorrect
In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.
Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.
Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.
This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.
Congratulations, David! This is phenomenal
Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional!
AND there's a fundamental right to abortion!
We won!
(Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)
Love a good four hour flight delay 👎🏼
Delivering medicines is only part of the fight against H.I.V. Ending the epidemic requires outreach to young girls and women; men who have sex with men; and drug users, who are at high risk and yet often have the least access to preventive tools and care.
The numbers also showed a worrying drop in treatments of infants with H.I.V., who tend to become ill rapidly and die.
Although PEPFAR treated about as many people in the last quarter of 2025 as in the same period in 2024, it supported testing for 17.2 million, a steep drop from 21.9 million tested in the same period in 2024. Diagnoses also fell, to 307,000 from 385,000, a predictable consequence of less testing
Wow.
If this doesn’t enrage you, I just…. Have nothing to say to you.
These cuts will have negative consequences for health and well being, and likely cost more in the long run due to costs of illness that these agencies’ work could have otherwise prevented
NIH grantmaking plummeting under Trump
How many people will die from diseases that would otherwise have been preventable
do not forget that we the people have the power to chart a different path than this
Air jail on the beltline for being a terror
You simply can't be pro-gun and pro-children or pro-life. You just can't. You either want innocent children to die or you want to rein in guns — those are the choices.
Oh.
It feels like toxic masculinity is heavily influencing FDA decisions these days.
Joe Rogan influencing decisions on psychedelics; easing restrictions on peptides; expanding testosterone use for low libido in men…
anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is
While meant fun, the "senior assassin" game raises many concerns, leading to police calls, school lockdowns, and potential legal consequences due to realistic-looking weapons, stalking behavior, & trespassing
At its worst, it could result in cops opening fire on youth they think may have a real gun
FDA leadership has pushed back against concerns from outside observers about the politicization of FDA's new Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program. Today, the President ordered that FDA "shall provide" such vouchers to certain psychedelic drugs. 1/2 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
