1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".
Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.
Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

An NYT headline reading: Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets
My headline from April 15 reading: Water is wet, and DHS's 'deportation fleet' boondoggle expands under Markwayne
The hed and dek of my story from February reading: ICE FLIGHTS Noem's luxury 'deportation' jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. Gillian Brockell 26 Feb 2026 - 9 min read
Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.
And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.
You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.
I keep saying how trans people have the unique ability to drive some folks insane but this is a perfect example of it. The Knicks owner personally stalked a trans woman going to Knicks games for years using his panopticon surveillance at MSG, solely b/c she's trans.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.
Over 500,000 children have already died because her boss fed USAID to the woodchipper
Over half a million parents who stood helplessly as the little bodies of their most precious children struggled to breathe and wasted away
But yeah, an empty homes tax. Frightening
A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.
A reminder that trans people's 'demands' were 'can we have healthcare that doesn't take 20 years?' and 'can we change our documents easier!?'
That's it.
And we didn't even ask very loudly.
In response, the UK has decided to take all our rights away.
Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Georgia Fort, an award-winning Minnesota journalist, filmed a protest in a church during the ICE surge. The federal government is charging her for it. We talked about how the case has affected her, her family, her work - and what it means for journalism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Universal basic income is not science fiction. It should exist for everyone. There's enough to make it happen.
1. Yesterday, a major case was heard in the Colorado Supreme Court: whether Colorado Children's hospital can discriminate against trans youth patients due to Trump threats.
Colorado justices seemed skeptical, though divided.
Their ruling could have a profound impact.
Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.
Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.
Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!
It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional
I fundamentally reject any premise that the LGBTQ "went too far" and annoyed all the straights into hating them.
A small number of wealthy elites and media owners have used their immense reach to broadcast hateslop against them for over a decade. They have moved the Overton by force.
Get off of substack.
I will not share your substack link. I won't share it even if you disguise it as a different URL.
There are good alternatives. No, it's not easy, but your readership won't be rated as lower than that of a human trafficker and rapist.
so this guy just lied? and everyone believed it without question? wow that's crazy
A character taking a selfie in their room, there's a ghost dove and a snake around them. The room is cluttered.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
How to do it America.
1. In a massive defeat of anti-trans politics, Viktor Orbán, one of the most autocratic and anti-LGBTQ+ figures in Europe, has fallen to Péter Magyar.
This comes after JD Vance traveled to Hungary to campaign for Orbán and decry trans people in a speech.
