We finally know the identities of the 9 anonymous authors of the May HHS report on pediatric gender-affirming care. Surprise! It's stacked with people who make money advocating against pediatric gender-affirming care.
Here's our writeup from May: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A tweet from โRepublicans against Trโฆโ quotes Trump saying that Khashoggi was controversial and โthings happen,โ adding that MBS โknew nothing about itโ and that there's no need to embarrass the guest.
The image shows Trump seated beside a man wearing traditional Saudi attire in a lavishly decorated room.
A tweet from โPoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirlโ reads:
โโThings happenโ??? Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, chopped into pieces, put into suitcases, and flown out of the countryโฆ But we shouldnโt โembarrass our guestโ??? What are we doing here America?โ
Astonishing and grotesque statement by Trump.

Managing situations that can cause moral distress, in a way that has a whole team on the same page turns out to be a pretty effective way of providing top notch care (and, I bet, reducing the team's distress when the conversation hasn't been had and it was needed).

There's some really tough stuff in our news and politics lately. If what we're seeing as civic-minded citizens is hitting close to home, I see you. Healing is possible, even if, it appears, justice is elusive.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If youโre a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

The new Countdown podcast drops at midnight:
Will Trump now DESTROY the Epstein Files? He's trying to destroy Clinton to distract from his own guilt. He's trashed Marge Greene. He's broken the DOJ and House. Why not? They told Nixon to burn the Watergate tapes!

There are also simple, lawful ways communities can help: business owners can choose not to serve ICE agents food or allow them to use the restroom; hotel and restaurant staff can ask to see a judicial warrant before granting access to private areas; and bystanders can legally record ICE

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held โKnow Your Rightsโ trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

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.

EMDR works by helping the nervous system complete the stress responses that got interrupted.
Itโs efficient.
Itโs private.
And for physicians โ who have no space for weekly reactivation โ EMDR Intensives fit the reality of medicine.
You donโt need more insight.
You need integration.

Physicians are trained to think through everything.
Diagnose it.
Map it.
Understand it.
That works beautifully in medicine.
But when it comes to burnout and trauma?
Thinking stops working.

Witnessing in Public: What Democracy Looks Like
A seven-part guide on bystander witnessing, safety, and accountabilityโwhy filming matters, how to do it safely, and why surveillance isnโt safety.

This is what democracy looks like.

Digital illustration of a calm woman holding a phone; others have come to join her, also filming. Caption reads โThis Is What Democracy Looks Like
I was at the Mall of America when I saw two people who looked like cops questioning a Black man.
I started filming.
One told him, โWe canโt stop her from filming.โ
That was trueโ

FedEx bill for $150
Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Is Tylenol Safe During Pregnancy? Experts Say Itโs the Best Option.
Trump, Kennedy et al claimed yesterday that Tylenol causes autism, which the evidence does not show. (There was a LOT of eliding of correlation vs. causation.) Here is what the evidence actually shows.
Experts say Tylenol is the safest option to treat pain and fever during pregnancy.
