What A Day: Weapons of Mass Distraction Trump’s team can’t agree on why they started war with Iran.

Minnesota is suing the Trump administration for freezing $243 million in Medicaid funding for the state. Withholding the funds will “punish” low-income families that need health care, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement.

Given the content of Hegseth's speech outlining how the US doesn't appear to be interested in such churlish things as legal rules of engagement, we can only hope that one day he gets to listen back to it in the Hague.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Is Dead. Now What?
YouTube video by What A Day Iran’s Supreme Leader Is Dead. Now What?

News on the unconstitutional attacks on Iran and how insiders are using betting apps to make money on mass murder.

Yes, the Iranian Government was and is awful, but killing school girls and exposing the region to retaliatory attacks is as awful as well.

What A Day: Pentagon Pete's Killer Robots The Pentagon demands free rein over Anthropic’s AI.

"The Lancet, one of the world’s leading medical journals, bashed HHS Secretary RFK, jr.: "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for U.S. health and science while he remains at the helm.”

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Ah, what a vile excuse for a human being he is. And what a sad capitulation, especially after Scouting made ground up after years of poor policy.

American Psychological Association Reaffirms Support For Trans Youth Care, Pushes Back Against NYT A recent article from Jesse Singal in the New York Times seemed to indicate the organization might be quietly retreating from supporting trans youth care.

“APA continues to support unobstructed access to evidence-based care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals of all ages.”

#newyorktimes Stop platforming dishonest and debunked transphobes like Signal

What A Day: Conceited Rivalry The FBI director’s dangerous, undercover mission: Party with hockey bros.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

New Xbox Boss Is Worried About Birthrates, Says AI Will Save Us Five months ago Asha Sharma talked about how AI could turn around declining fertility rates

I've seen a lot of concerns about the new Xbox coming from the AI world s opposed to gaming.

That she's part of the 'birth rate panic' is not reassuring.

What A Day: Supreme Thwart The Supreme Court just put a big dent in Donald Trump’s crown.

'The DOJ is struggling to find legitimate examples of voter fraud, and Donald Trump is growing frustrated... in large part because the types of rampant voter fraud that the Trump administration describes have never been found,” the outlet writes. Love to hear it!'

What A Day: Confusion Missile Crisis Trump’s team is warning about war with Iran.

"He’s going to tell 40 different lies, call Democrats names; he’s going to paper over his corruption; and I don’t feel like what he’s doing dignifies having Democrats there to cloak the speech in a veneer of respectability.”

What A Day: When Bannon Called Epstein ‘God’ Steve Bannon says his Epstein ties were all for journalism.

‘On that note, McLaughlin touted an arrest last year of an “alien” who “committed a felony by voting in American elections.” Turns out, the guy had held a green card for more than 30 years — and voted for Donald Trump in three elections. Lol.’

Surprised?

Newsom vetoed a bill that would've prevented insurance discrimination against trans people and allowed people to stockpile 6 months of HRT.

So yes, not only would he do this, he is actively doing it right now by endangering our access to healthcare in order to protect insurance companies.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!

The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.
