WTAF? This is inhumane. Here is the HHS press release announcing the nationwide moratorium for durable medical equipment under Medicare: www.hhs.gov/press-room/t...

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board."

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

The most fraudridden administration in American history will make an argument to the Supreme Court that it will not fund eligible health care claims because it is fighting fraud.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

oh so we're doing sanctions but domestically

Same people

And behind him, that grifter Oz nods away. B/c it was never about health, only fame, money, and power.

Illegality aside, it’s wild how their answer to (unwarranted) beef with local governments is to just punish and kill that particular municipality’s citizens (also their citizens but they don’t care). This is just accepted by “conservatives” as how things should work. Big government who?

Here in black and white is the Florida proposal to ban doctors from even *talking* to teenagers about birth control without their parents' permission. It has passed three subcommittees

We covered this bill in the @autonomynews.co weekly roundup:

Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minors—or even giving teens information about it—without parental consent. It's called HB 173
The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion

Supreme Court lets Trump block transgender Americans from choosing passport sex markers The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gen...

8. The Kansas letters arrive amid an accelerating nationwide campaign to strip transgender people of accurate identification documents. The Trump administration has barred transgender Americans from obtaining passports that reflect their gender identity, a policy the Supreme Court allowed.

7. A conviction, however, triggers an automatic 90-day suspension. If a person drives during that suspension, they face a charge of driving on a suspended license, which carries a mandatory minimum of five days in jail. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates by sex assigned at birth.

6. The consequences for noncompliance could escalate quickly. Under Kansas law, driving without a valid license is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine—though first-time offenders are more likely to face a citation and fine.

4. SB 244, also known as the "bathroom bounty" bill, contained heavy identification document bans as well. The bill was rushed through the Kansas Legislature in January using a "gut and go" procedure that bypassed nearly all public input on its key provisions.

Kansas lawmakers bypassed the committee process by doing a whole bill amendment and pushing this in two days. They then overrode the governors veto. They used emergency designation to make it go into effect immediately. There's no grace period. The amount of targeted animus here is staggering.

I can't even begin to describe just how fucked up this law is. People cannot drive to work, to school, or even the DMV to fix this without the threat of being arrested for driving on a suspended license. It literally removes the ability for trans Kansans to participate in society.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

And any trans person arrested under this will be placed in units of their sex assigned at birth. For trans women, this means v coding, rape, and sexual assault. They'll also be denied access to hormones and forced to detransition. I can't begin to tell you just how cruel all this is.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

A troubling new problem has emerged in Minnesota: Immigrants are being released without documents proving their status.

According to 10 immigration lawyers we interviewed, immigrants have been released from detention centers without work permits, Social Security cards, and other documents.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Absolutely enraging. ICE kidnapped a 16 year old child in Mpls, refused to let him go home, sent him to a youth shelter in Michigan and LOST TRACK OF HIM. The family’s lawyer used an investigator to trace a phone call and locate him. (🎁 link)

Will he also be hiding behind furniture during this speech, too?

Look at these goblin white people happy about “fear”. Literal demons.

We are feared on the world stage in the same way that you and I would fear a large drunken oaf stumbling around with a machete.
