A screenshot of a news article header featuring circular portraits of three authors: Azeen Ghorayshi, Amy Harmon, and Reed Abelson. The dateline is Dec. 18, 2025. The opening paragraph reads: "The federal government on Thursday acted to put an end to gender-related care for minors across the nation, threatening to pull federal funding from any hospital that offered such treatment."

A paragraph of text from a news article discussing medical interventions for minors. The text reads: "Questions over the evidence to support medical interventions for minors have been central to debate worldwide as demand for the treatments has increased. An influential report released in Britain last year found that the scientific evidence on the benefits and risks of the treatment was 'remarkably weak,' and concluded by recommending that puberty blockers be restricted to research trials only. Several European countries, and most recently New Zealand, have imposed restrictions."

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Most federal employees fired by DOGE received fabricated documents justifying their dismissal, complete with bogus performance reviews. Some were labeled “poor performers” despite recently receiving internal awards for excellence. Now, Trump is pushing to expand these purge tactics.

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves.

Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard.

You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365

Russell Vought, now a key figure in the DOGE, is openly challenging the constitutionality of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He claims the executive branch has the authority to withhold funds even after Congress has appropriated them, essentially saying the president, not Congress,

People need to listen to this amazing representative. She is truly amazing.

The books are fantastic. Especially enjoyed the audiobook versions .. great for car rides

I don’t think this bill would prevent states from requiring marketplace plans cover gender affirming care — it would just not allow the federal government to define it as an essential health benefit. Such states would either have to eat the cost themselves or make insurance companies eat it.

BREAKING: Republicans pass ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ stripping transgender Americans of health care The Human Rights Campaign called the bill "cruel."

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is.

I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need.

We told you this was coming

Ugh, that was gros. Plus, let’s not forget the second round of desserts at Per Se simply because I didn’t like one of the ice cream flavors. Force feeding people is a sad restaurant power play.

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

A Mother and Father Were Deported. What Happened to Their Toddler? The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

🧵This is the cruelty they don’t want you to see.

Yorely Bernal was deported to Venezuela. Her partner, Maiker Espinoza, exiled to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison camp.
No criminal records.

Their 2-year-old daughter, Antonella, is still in DHS custody. Read on…
