But the things adults say to children can become deeply internalized. “We are teaching them who they are and what’s expected of them with these kinds of comments.”“Most ‘creepy’ comments to kids don’t come from creepy people.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGBOSTON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday blocked U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing in 22 states a provision of the Republican’s signature tax and domestic policy bill that would deprive Planned Parenthood and local affiliates that perform abortions of Medicaid funding. But she put her ruling on hold for seven days to allow the Trump administration to appeal. Talwani had previously blocked the law from being implemented on other grounds in a separate case by Planned Parenthood. They said the provision constituted a change the states could not have anticipated when they joined the joint federal-state Medicaid program, which provides healthcare coverage to low-income Americans. States, not the federal government, have long been left to determine which providers qualify for the Medicaid program, the states said.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump said he will issue a preemptive pardon for Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) on Wednesday, effectively voiding Cuellar’s 2024 indictment for bribery. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump announced a “full and complete PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar” and his wife, Imelda Cuellar. The indictment charged Cuellar and his wife with illegally accepting bribes and acting as unregistered foreign agents. Cuellar represents a Texas district on the border with Mexico that swung hard towards Republicans over the past three election cycles. In 2024, Trump flipped the district, winning it by seven points.
Not at her, her beautiful spirit, breathtaking voice or right to move through the world in the body she chooses. Grande and Cynthia Erivo are everywhere promoting Wicked in interviews, photo shoots, red carpet events. It’s about the unspoken message all of this is sending: when it comes to health, thinner is always better. It’s shaping how young people define health, beauty, morality. My anger is at the cultural shift that’s pushing people, especially kids, toward disordered eating, mental health crises and lifelong shame.
He recalled the arrest during the ad, saying he told ICE agents he is a U.S. citizen who was just trying to get to work. However, the agents got “hostile” and eventually threw tear gas behind his vehicle and pepper-sprayed him in the face. Retes said had ICE had just looked at his ID, they would have seen that he is a U.S. citizen. DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment from HuffPost on Retes’ statements or the ad campaign. Retes’ $250,000 video ad campaign will now run on those “streaming platforms targeting audiences exposed to DHS’ propaganda ads.”
A white buffalo must be sacrificed in the Sun Dance. The buffalo loved their people as much as the Kiowas loved them.”Dunbar-Ortiz continued: “There was war between the buffalo and the white men. They could protect their people no longer.”The horrific history underscores the significance of recent efforts by the Blackfeet Nation in northern Montana to bring back the buffalo to their community. White settler attacks on the buffalo were in turn designed to annihilate and render extinct the Blackfeet people—like other native groups. Once the buffalo were brought back, Blackfeet cowboys were employed to corral the herd and teach them new habits.
Combat veteran Matt Van Epps (right) defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn. AdvertisementAs of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Van Epps was leading Behn by just nine percentage points, a 13-point shift from Trump’s performance in 2022. Trump endorsed and held rallies for Van Epps, a young combat veteran who Republicans and Democrats alike saw as a competent and scandal-free candidate. Trump and Johnson campaigned for Van Epps, though Trump declined to hold a public rally in the district. Statements from party leaders after Van Epps’ victory congratulated the candidate but notably avoided declarations about what his victory could mean for the midterms.

Hegseth, who early on said he watched the Sept. 2 attack off the Trinidad coast live as it was happening, on Tuesday clarified that he saw only the initial attack, not the follow-up.

Nationals of countries under a full travel ban are barred from entry into the U.S. with few exceptions, while those under a partial ban also face significant restrictions.
