Funny how it's always the time for centrist scolds to cry about votes their preferred candidates refused to earn or outright pushed away. This script has become moldy and useless in its old age, much like Dem leadership. Go tell the Dems to stop purity testing out everyone Left of Reagan, you goof.

I appreciate Jake Bauers talking about how the need for health insurance affected his career choices. [The Fox Sports guys all laugh again.] But the story is a lot less funny for most Americans who must work in less sexy jobs than pro sports because it’s their only pathway to having insurance.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.
Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

You also ignore the fact that AI is plagiarism, and plagiarism is fraud and a crime. When you work in “regulating” AI and you refuse to call for an outright ban based on the simple fact above, you lose all credibility on the subject. Love your advocacy on trans issues, though. Especially on the UK

POPE LEO: “Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data—as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can—but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences.”

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins "with the Spirit" and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart.

"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.

Oh man this is about to pop off
Outraged Bronx residents flocked to the

corner, chanting "Murderers!" "F- ICE!" and

"ICE out of the Bronx!"

During one heated exchange, more than a dozen people grabbed and pinned a masked ICE agent against a wall when he got too close to the police tape lining the scene. "Take the mask of P--!" the residents

screamed.

NYPD officers swooped in and rescued the agent, pulling him back behind the tape as federal agents created a blockade line.

The NYPD referred all additional questions about the incident to the feds.

But Assemblyman Manny De Los Santos (D- Manhattan), who showed up at the scen was told that ICE agents weren't cooperating with the NYPD.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

Okay but like, IDF service members are not an ethnic group. Zionism is not an ethnicity. It is a political movement built upon upholding an apartheid state. Israeli adults who do not oppose the existence of their nation are complicit. Complicity is absolutely not innocence.
