“A screenshot of a news article from The Times website. The headline reads: ‘Children taking DIY cross-sex hormones before going to gender clinics.’ The subheadline states: ‘Hundreds of young trans people are buying puberty blockers, oestrogen and testosterone without prescription from websites and even recreational drug dealers.’ The page header includes navigation links, a log-in button, and a ‘Start trial’ button.”

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

I have made a handy list of the appropriate uses of mentioning the 80s comedy film "Revenge of the Nerds":

1. Talking about how it's a rapey movie where the protagonist is a rapist

That's it. That's the list.

RFK Jr.’s goal is to kill children.

There is no logical argument that can be made against my thesis.

Now do RFK Jr., who is actively harming and killing American children with his quack pseudoscience!

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

In a just world we wouldn’t even need the Epstein files to believe Trump is a predator. A bunch of women have already said so. Plus a jury even found him liable.

The AUDACITY of TRUMP & HEGSETH
It disgusts me to my very core
They want to court martial our Arizona Senator !!
Hegseth and Trump can't shine his shoes
Let alone Gabby Giffords
Once again, like Comey this insane investigation wil do nothing, only waste thousands of taxpayer dollars

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Elizabeth Warren on Colbert's show: "We don't think one corporation or one man named David Ellison should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news and decide who watches what and I'm gonna stay in that fight."

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

A cautionary tale in being a woman who appeals to a conservative audience: While MAGA has co-opted Sydney Sweeney as their new star, her latest film debuted in the top ten worst box office openings and the same MAGA crowd brutally attacked her appearance in 2024 while she was training for the role
