There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but β€œwhy are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Once you have a lemon tree that "when life gives you lemons" saying starts to make sense

In a museum a couple days ago I noticed they referred to dates as B.C.E and C.E. instead of B.C. and A.D. I'm surprised Trump hasn't complained about this. I mean I realize museums are not his turf, but it seems like the kind of thing that he'd denounce as Too Woke.

As I always say, as a Jewish person, I am mortified at what is being done under the guise of "fighting antisemitism."

If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.

sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude *just* voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. *now* he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

If there's one legacy of the War in Iraq that Democrats should have internalized, it's the fact that those who lined up behind the war drums all came to regret that decision while those who wisely refused to go along were soon vindicated.

One of the latter rode that decision to the White House!

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

Elon Musk’s reputation must be beyond rehabilitation It's time to end the myth of his genius once and for all

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet.

By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.

β€˜No Girls Allowed’? Why won’t Gavin Newsom feature women on his podcast? | Opinion Guess how many women the governor of California has deigned to interview on his podcast, β€œThis is Gavin Newsom”, asks columnist Robin Epley.

There's that old saying, "if you want to know someone's heart, look who they have on their podcast".

Wait, that's not a saying?

NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to β€œsignificant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

We are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

Commuter rail, we are often told, operates at a loss. But we spend even more on street and highways, and take in little direct revenue from them. Yet no one ever says they are operating at a loss.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.
