Scoop: The Trump administration wants to expand involuntary commitment. But a new evaluation of New York's system casts doubt on whether mandating care is effective at treating people with serious mental illness. www.statnews.com/2026/08/04/n...

As Trump administration pushes court-ordered mental health care, a new report raises questions

A study of New York’s court-ordered care for people with serious mental health conditions adds to the research on this type of involuntary care.

When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

so I just want to emphasize something here that non-media people might not pick up on: Marisa is an independent journalist and is taking on the risk of being sued by Moraff here without any institutional backing. That's admirable bravery - and also means being very, very certain of the facts.

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

The story of a trans girl who tried to fight Idaho's anti-trans laws, and died to suicide earlier this year, is only now coming to light. Our hearts are broken, but we need to tell these stories and mourn our dead, because the media is barely bothering to look for the victims of trans genocide.

Idaho didn’t want May Pollard to live. Now she’s dead by her own hand. - Assigned Media

A trans teen tried to fight Idaho's bathroom ban in court, but hate prevailed.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Before she replaced her brother Lindsey Graham, Darline Graham Nordone spent a career working with children with disabilities. @slooterman.bsky.social called disability advocates around South Carolina and couldn't find anyone to say a bad thing about her. 19thnews.org/2026/07/darl...

Darline Graham's career centered disability. Now she could help shape national policy.

Lindsey Graham's sister has spent decades in South Carolina's disability services, earning praise from advocates who hope she'll bring that expertise to Congress.

i would like it if one of the verge, engadget, 404 media, etc would start reviewing the slew of personal cooling devices now available for sale because it's hard as hell to figure out from crummy user reviews which brands are garbage

Huge news: NPR reports that the Trump administration has abandoned its proposed "nuclear weapon" against trans youth care—a rule that would have pulled *all* Medicaid and Medicare funding for *all* patients from hospitals that provided gender-affirming care for minors www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n...

Trump's HHS abandons threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care

NPR has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be finalizing its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming care for youth nationally.

The authors of the HHS report on trans youth health care were chosen by the Manhattan Institute's Leor Sapir. Now, a rule based on the controversial report could wipe out this care at hospitals. Parents are begging the administration not to go through with it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The attack on home care continues. A year after GOP legislators passed a tax bill that gutted Medicaid, several states are weighing proposals that would slash wages for family caregivers of people with disabilities. @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/07/13/f...

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

people mention SSRIs a lot when it comes to your wellness in hot conditions, but lithium and antipsychotics are even more dangerous (and psychosis can impact your ability to clock your own thermal signals on its own, so please check on your loved ones with schizophrenia and bipolar too)!

Once, while on tour in Manchester, England, three trans women burst out crying as I spoke. Turns out, due to EHRC, they had just been kicked off their local soccer team, a club in which no one won anything except for new friends, and from which no one wanted them to leave.
