The whole world just up and accepted the new Pope’s chosen name. Just like that. So don’t let anyone tell you they can’t do it for trans kids.
JUST IN: ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. This is the second consecutive year we’ve been awarded this distinction and our eighth Pulitzer: www.propublica.org/series/life-...
Why isn't Kristi Noem dressing up in her ICE cosplay outfit, going to Oklahoma, and apologizing to the family they incorrectly took out of their home, in their underwear, and took their money and belongings? You made a terrible mistake, Kristi Noem. Fix it.
1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.
Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Lies, Pseudoscience
The review, which was made possible by an executive order calling transgender healthcare "mutilation," reached its predetermined conclusion on its May 1st publication date.

Read Transhealth’s reponse to the unscientific attack on trans youth from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services transhealth.org/response-hhs-report
If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
I’m so saddened by the number of people I went to school with who are now fascists.
The Heritage Foundation, who wrote Project 2025, and to whom Trump is beholden to keep him in office, is actually, really, planning on making us all CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS. They are already having certain agency employees report on one another for criticising CHRISTIANITY.
I thought we were supposed to be saving money. What a joke. Fucking unbelievable. www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...
Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has not given any press briefings in the briefing room but has used the room as a backdrop for TV hits with Fox News.

JD Vance sucked the life out of a frail Pope Francis like a Dementor didn’t he?
Georgetown Law, Mt. Holyoke, Cornell: who else is on the list? Let's celebrate those who fight back!
They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.
“Prime, but with human beings.” JFC, what have we become?
A lot of the tariffs have been paused huh? Trump is clearly manipulating the global markets for his own financial gain and the financial gain of his family and friends. Beyond corrupt and immoral.
Good riddance but I’m sure the next person in charge of the USPS will be so much worse. www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/p...

Hear, Hear! @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social lay out the hypocrisy, stupidity, and criminality:
Signal Chat Disaster: Trump Admin Hypocrites Crushed by Their Own Past Words

None of that should have been discussed outside of a scif. They should all be fired.
Everyone on that Signal chat (except the journalist who landed there by accident) should be fired and referred for prosecution.
This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.
