The only universe where prices are going down are in Uranus, Hassett.

Does the anchor also have an opinion on how divination from chicken entrails on health policy will be received by voters?

The bottom line is that if you have a parent with Alzheimer's turned down for any kind of health insurance, show up at Mr Hassett's home and have them ask for a job.

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

You can't use reason and logic with MAGA. Some primitive societies and more recent cults engage in self-harm or even mass suicide as a way to "cleanse" guilt and shame. The Big Beautiful Bill is essentially throwing masses of people into a volcano to appease the gods. That's all it is.

A crowd of journalists and camera operators tapes a press conference on the steps of the Capitol. The decaying corpses of Jefferson, Washington, and Ben Franklin stand before them. Washington says, "Seriously? I think the reason we came back from the dead is pretty obvious. Next question."

Today feels more like a funeral than a celebration.

Despite me knowing many Trump voters who now have regrets about their vote, not a single one of them has publicly acknowledged that their actions have led to the destruction of so many people's lives. Maybe that's just shame and self-loathing at work, but I'd like to see more public statements.

And this is why UPenn is out of consideration if you are LGBTQ and looking for somewhere to get a degree.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

We have a couple of decades experience with this in NC, with the Dems "compromising" on everything from gay marriage to trans issues to immigrant policy and abortion rights. Dems have had nothing but loses, with only the governorship and a few other offices won because of nutcase GOP candidates.

Since denying trans people healthcare or denying the right to abortion isn't sex discrimination, let's outlaw Viagra - not all men have erectile dysfunction and the state has a vested interest in protecting the public against the serious cardiovascular side effects of these medications. #Skrmetti

WOW:-
2,780 year old israelite tablet finally translated to reveal its message: -
“Persia is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon”

I've been saying this since the 1990s when the establishment left kept compromising with the ultra-right on LGBTQ rights and AIDS and in the 2000s when they were compromising on "bathroom bills" and trans legislation. If you give the right an eighth of an inch, they take a hundred miles.

National Park Visitors Are Not Impressed With Trump's Revisionism - emptywheel Trump wants to rewrite American history, and Doug Burgum wants the public to help. The National Park-going public is having none of it.

Anatomy of a Hit Piece: Deconstructing The New York Times' Attack on Transgender Rights in U.S. v. Skrmetti Seemingly not content with the US v. Skrmetti decision issued by the court siding with Tenessee to ban gender affirming care for trans youth, the New York Times was ready to pour salt on the fresh wou...

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst.

Wisdom for today:

Listening to James Carville for political advice is like making a query to Ask Jeeves about AI.

How My LGBTQ Kids’ Book Ended Up at the U.S. Supreme Court - Macleans.ca My book Pride Puppy is about love and inclusion. Watching its message get twisted by hate and misinformation has been devastating.

ICYMI: Pride Puppy was one of nine picture books that bigoted Maryland parents sought to restrict in order to erase LGBTQ families from public schools. The Supreme Court will likely rule in the parents’ favor within a week. macleans.ca/society/how-...

If LGBTQs have to devote money and time to defending trans people, fighting book bans, or providing LGBTQ suicide lines, that's less resources for fighting the right on bigger issues. It's the playbook used by Moms for Liberty, modeled on a 1960s Florida effort.

Understanding Poverty in the LGBTQ+ Community Poverty generally refers to a lack of basic necessities, resources and income, though its exact definition is often widely debated and measured in a…

It's easy to say this if you're not part of the one-third of trans people in the US living in poverty. Discrimination results in lost opportunities for education and employment among LGBTQs generally, and particularly among trans people.

'No Kings' Protester Killed In Salt Lake City Was Fashion Designer Who Competed On 'Project Runway' Absolutely devastating 💔

So devastating 💔

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees.

I am not making this up.

Especially when there's (checks notes) 2.4 million automobiles in the city of Los Angeles.

By masked thugs, showing no identification, and showing up in unmarked vehicles without warrants or court orders.

Remember that time in 2018 when The NY Times reported on the undocumented immigrants working at Trump properties? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Where are the #ICE raids?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
