White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

All those Trump surrogates who touted this, and news orgs that reported it credulously, owe Americans a big fat apology www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Democrat Forrest Dunbar was on Nat Guard training in Poland and got personal leave, and bought his own ticket, to get back to AK and vote for the override.

If you are wondering why the special session was scheduled when he was in Poland, well, I'm thinking no one imagined he would do what he did

How We Reported on Abusive Guards Returning to New York Prisons The Marshall Project analyzed 12 years of arbitration cases that involved officers committing abuse or covering it up.

To examine why arbitrators return New York state prison guards to work after officials fired them for abusing prisoners, we built a database compiled through public records requests.

‘They control everything’: How the Dallas Stars monopolized Texas youth hockey Ice is power in the lucrative world of youth hockey. In North Texas, the Dallas Stars hold almost all of it.

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

• The cop persuaded Dershowitz to walk away from the pierogi booth, while the lawyer explained that his rights were being violated because they "won't sell me a pierogi," the report says. The result was a hilarious "Veep"-style comedy scene in which Dershowitz, a longtime constitutional law professor at Harvard who's famous for arguing mega-cases and fighting impeachment battles, got into a drawn-out debate with a cop at a farmer's market about whether he was legally entitled to buy dumplings — as detailed in a video of their exchange. • As a result, "Mr. Dershowitz stated he was going to spread the word to others at the market to not buy from the pierogi booth," the report states. If he did that, the officer warned, he would be asked to leave the premises, and potentially face a "No Trespass Order," the document continues. • The cop briefly left Dershowitz, who went to a nearby lemonade stand. When the officer came back, "Mr. Dershowitz was just a few feet from the lemonade booth, and when I approached, I did overhear him attempting to discourage a couple patrons from going to the pierogi booth," the police report says. Shortly after, the lawyer departed, pierogiless.

“Shortly after,” Alan Dershowitz departed, “pierogiless.”
