Trump Has A New Plan To Get Women To Have More Babies. What Could Go Wrong?
The Trump administration has floated several ideas in order to increase the birth rate in the U.S., but their premise is flawed. Those without health care coverage, and possibly even those with it, are only one accident or unfortunate circumstance away from bankruptcy. The Trump administration suggests that individuals who need help are lazy; that they must earn their keep. The underlying assumption these countries and the Trump administration make is that individuals — both women and men — inherently want children. AdvertisementIf the Trump administration truly wants women to have children, it should support them in real and practical ways.

Trump Rages At Reporter Who Refuses To Stick To ‘Positive’ Questions
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Wednesday once again ripped a reporter to their face, this time after they dared to bring into question the idea that his supporters are completely and utterly behind every move he makes. Trump was taking questions during the unveiling of new flag poles outside the White House when CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene asked him about the split in MAGA ranks over his increasingly hawkish backing of Israel in its war with Iran. AdvertisementTreene began by noting, “Mr. President, some of your supporters are splitting on the US response to…,” before Trump cut in and deployed his usual tactic of demanding to know, “Who are you with?”When Treene said CNN, Trump scoffed, called the network “fake news” and claimed that, “Fortunately nobody watches.”Treene tried to repeat the question but Trump again interrupted and asked: “Is anybody watching CNN nowadays? My supporters are more in love with me today, and I’m in love with them, more than they were even at election time.”Watch from the 37-minute mark here:

Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend
ReplyThreadLinklol it's truly wild to see Boston, of all places, turn on a bunch of white cops, but hey, gotta start somewhere. They're hated in the state so the intense attention and belief that they were involved all makes sense to me. ReplyParentThreadLinkBetween accusing Karen and Sandra Birchmore’s abuse and murder, the corruption is staggering. I just looked at my TV finally and it said "not guilty" I literally yelled: "Not guilty!?!?" ReplyParentThreadLinkFor some reason I keep thinking Karen Read and Erin Patterson aka the mushroom murders lady are the same person lol.

Supreme Court Deals Another Major Blow To Transgender Rights
LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming care for minors in a 6-3 ruling. AdvertisementThis decision focused solely on Tennessee’s ban, foreclosing most medical care options to transgender youth in the state. It also marks the second blow the Supreme Court has dealt to transgender rights advocates recently, after the highest court allowed President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members in the military to take effect in May. AdvertisementThe Supreme Court’s ruling clears the way for officials in Tennessee to deny gender-affirming treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy to transgender youth. By contrast, only 17 states and Washington, D.C., have passed “shield” laws that protect access to transgender health care.

Part 3 SCOTUS Wrap Up
Remember, that’s the home of SCOTUS– the Supreme Court of the United States. In their opinion, SCOTUS reversed the U.S. 8th Circuit Federal Court’s ruling. SCOTUS’ decision was, IMHO, the correct one. Five years ago, SCOTUS issued a decision that protected transgender people from workplace discrimination. However, on June 18, 2025, in an opinion written by CJ Roberts, SCOTUS upheld a Tennessee law that prohibits some medical treatment for transgender youths.

My Husband Died Abroad. As I Boarded The Plane Home, A Flight Attendant's Innocent Comment Broke Me.
The author and her husband Jeremy, on a sunny day road trip to see California poppies before everything changed. Photo Courtesy Of Rosi GolanIn August of last year, after an eight-month battle with cancer, my husband, Jeremy, passed away. A few weeks before he died, we had one of many brutal but beautiful hospital conversations. "No one prepares you for what this part looks like ― 44 years of life sitting on the floor of a car." I don’t feel any closer to figuring out what life looks like now, but I do feel more comfortable talking about it.

Trump Administration Trying To Roll Back Civil Rights In Unusual Way
LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Trump administration is trying to quickly and quietly roll back certain civil rights protections in schools by exploiting an administrative loophole and pushing the process through an unusual federal agency — the Department of Energy. AdvertisementDismantling this portion of the law would affect K-12 schools and universities that receive funding from the Energy Department. For one thing, it’s odd that the change, which will affect schools, is coming through the Energy Department instead of the Education Department. “The really concerning part from my perspective is that this could essentially provide a blueprint for dismantling civil rights protections across the board,” Kel O’Hara, senior attorney for policy and education equity at Equal Rights Advocates, told HuffPost. The department’s Office for Civil Rights has already halted thousands of investigations into complaints and closed half of its civil rights enforcement offices.

I Work With Grandparents Of Trans Kids. I'm Constantly Stunned By What I Hear Them Say.
But there’s one group that continues to surprise me in the best possible way: grandparents of trans youth. ADVERTISEMENTIn our group, grandparents speak openly about mortality — not with fear, but with clarity. One grandmother in Los Angeles told us her teenage grandchild texted her, “Mommy said you’re in a support group for grandparents of trans kids. These grandparents know what it means to be othered — to be told that hiding who you are is the only path to safety. For trans youth, being called by their chosen name and correct pronouns leads to 71% fewer symptoms of severe depression and a 34% drop in suicidal thoughts.

Trump Hasn’t Visited Any Natural Disasters — But Has Time To Golf

Trump did not visit the affected communities, but did spend the following five days playing golf at his clubs in South Florida. AdvertisementOn May 22, the Federal Emergency Management Agency told North Carolina Gov. “In too many cases, your goodness and perseverance were met with indifference and betrayal,” Trump told community leaders during his Feb. 22 trip, three weeks after the accident. During his visit to Swannanoa in late January, Trump told his supporters: “You are treated very badly by the previous administration... Our government failed you, but it wasn’t the Trump government.

Storming The Steps Of The Capitol: Why I Got Arrested With Other Veterans To Protest Trump
We don’t “take care of veterans” by eliminating — or making it harder for veterans to receive — the services they need. People had died on that day, and at least four Capitol police officers later died by suicide after responding to the carnage that took place there.
