13 year old girls have probably saved the day and the world more than once though.

HHS's new funding guidelines for Title X subvert its entire purpose. Instead of getting effective contraception to the country’s poorest women so they may decide if & when to have kids, Title X now seems aimed at getting more pregnant, whether they want to be or not.

Texas Medical Board Sanctions Three Doctors for Delayed Care That Led to the Deaths of Two Pregnant Women The two women died during miscarriages. The state’s medical board has ruled that substandard care led to their deaths.

Porsha Ngumezi died at a Texas hospital after bleeding heavily during a miscarriage.

The medical board’s discipline of her doctor felt like “a slap in the face,” her husband said. “What kind of justice is this for Porsha?”

It’s a shame — a damned shame — what RFK Jr has done to his father’s name. RFK was lauded as a hero in my home growing up. RFK did notably good things in his lifetime.

Now… it’ll all be overshadowed by his dick of a son.

It must absolutely kill a mutant like RFK inside to be interrogated by a strong black woman

You may be underestimating how much mainstream media is still carrying this administration's water. They'll stenography the press releases, circulate, and amplify, sanewash as much as possible. I think they see their role as helping the government look presentable to the world.

good for tracking when the CIA needed a hed change

"The University of California system, the California State system, the City University of New York — these are the institutions actually educating America’s workforce, actually moving first-generation students into the middle class, actually delivering on higher education’s democratic promise."

Note: This is close to the good boyfriend list I used to make for my friends when we were young.

Can’t believe the news, Disney shutting down the marvel. vis dev department. This teams art made them billions and billions of dollars, but it seems that paying a handful or so of fulltime illustrators is simply too much to ask these days.

I’m sure there’s someone who has worded it better than me but the idea of MARVEL, a universe born from comics has no problem laying off their ENTIRE team of visual artists …

Another artist Marvel let go today was Visual Development Director @andyparkart.bsky.social !

Which is wild as Andy is a staple!

Andy was responsible for the visual direction of the Guardian of the Galaxy movies, the designs of Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi, latest Thor, and so much more!

Clavicular taking l’esprit de l’escalier to the next level

i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

You can contact CBS and tell them what you think of the Free Press, its tactics, and the general downward trajectory that CBS seems to on.

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Vance has never asked the question ‘is the Pope a Catholic?’

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announces it has found a buyer to keep the newspaper open Owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said they have found a buyer who had agreed to keep the newspaper open, less than a month before it was due to shut down.

The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

The President wants to illegally take over America’s central bank.

There should be no Senate hearing on his Fed Chair nominee.

I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump Admin and how his plans hurt Virginia families.

So, I won’t stay silent.

Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm — but I can’t do it alone. Share if you’re with me.

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a Republican. But I repeat myself." .. (Harry S. Truman) .. (cartoon Dave Granlund)

It is genuinely surreal to watch both the U.S. and Britain decide to destroy their own world-renowned and extremely profitable university systems at the same time.

Fuck you. Block you screw you troll bot

Orbán then and now, Vance then and now. Two sides of the same "fuck everyone but me if it gets me ahead" coin.

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country.
This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on
