We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of “affirmative asylum” applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.
This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 2026-07-28 and available online at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2026-15190, and on

Affirmative Asylum Referrals Without Interview
AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.
ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its regulations
to permit U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to refer certain affirmative
asylum applications to the Department of Justice (DOJ Executive Office for Immigration
Review (EOIR) without interview. USCIS still offers an interview prior to a grant or
denial of asylum. DHS is also removing the requirement that a letter communicating the
basis for referral of asylum include an assessment of the alien's credibility.
DATES: Effective date: This interim final rule (IFR) is effective [INSERT DATE OF
PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
Cecelia Humiston, 22, lives on Chapel Street. She was asleep with her two-year-old son when she woke up to the sounds of a commotion on surrounding streets.

When she went to investigate, she saw what appeared to be a person lying on the ground on Pool Street.

She remembers hearing an older woman with a distressed family, yelling, “You took her dad, you took her dad!”

“They were with a little girl, she couldn't have been older than three,” Humiston said. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

Humiston described law enforcement as “rude,” and said they barricaded family’s car from leaving. Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers.

Yes. "doctors are more likely to minimize or delay treating women’s symptoms." Exactly. "women with complex chronic illnesses, which are often poorly understood. It can take years to receive a diagnosis, much less relief."
Reporting by The New York Times suggests that one notable subset are women with complex chronic illnesses, which are often poorly understood. It can take years to receive a diagnosis, much less relief. That is partly because symptoms span multiple specialties. But also, many of these illnesses — like long Covid and autoimmune diseases — disproportionately affect women, and doctors are more likely to minimize or delay treating women’s symptoms.
