Government’s demand for trans care info sought addresses, doctors’ notes, texts Legal experts said the Justice Department subpoenas related to medical care for transgender minors appear to be unprecedented.

BREAKING:

Trump's DOJ is demanding hospitals turn over sensitive information related to medical care for young transgender patients, including billing documents, communication with drug manufacturers and data such as patient dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Call Congress and demand a congressional investigation. The Trump administration is rewarding those who break the law with personal gain. We will hold individuals accountable by calling them out by name when they violate the law.

A reptile reunion: Winchester boa constrictor is home safe after five-day search The Cartwright family in Winchester is finally whole again with their beloved pet snake named Kia back in their arms.

This happened last August so it’s hardly breaking news, but it’s the first I’d heard of it. It’s really encouraging to see a report this positive about a missing large snake. Too often the media hype them up as dangerous monsters from a horror movie.

The protests going on right now are not the same as 2016 or 2020. You are seeing a social movement in its Proto phases before we know what the final form looks like.This is something much bigger than anything We’ve seen probably since occupy much larger and angrier then 2016 or 20 time to turn it up

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data.

The REAL reason so many Democrats are upset about entitlements (social security, medical, etc) fraud investigations is that they are using your taxpayer money as handouts to attract and retain ILLEGAL immigrants. Their future voters.
That's what it's all about.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff β€œbecause the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Busy day at the Phoenix Capitol today β€” hundreds of protesters for the No Kings on President’s Day rally, then a few hundred later protesting the β€œArizona ICE Act,” a GOP-backed bill that would force police to cooperate with ICE and deputize local law enforcement to act as immigration officers.

A large galaxy is at center, and a significantly smaller galaxy is to its left. The large galaxy is mostly face-on, but the top appears slightly tilted away. It has several rings. Its circular core is bright white at the very center, but light yellow overall. Going outward, there are gaps between the rings. The core is surrounded by two slightly lighter yellow rings, which also appear to be overlapping. The next ring is slightly more transparent and yellow. The two or three rings that are farther out are bluer, sometimes with blue clumps. The widest ring is also blue, but also the most transparent. At 9 o’clock is a small dwarf galaxy. It is about the same size as the yellow core of the Bullseye. The dwarf galaxy is blue, with many dots. It looks like the edge of the Bullseye might touch the dwarf galaxy. Both galaxies are set on the black background of space, which is dotted with a range of galaxies in different shapes, colors, and sizes, along with one foreground star at left.
