These whistleblower allegations are extraordinary. If Trump Administration officials knowingly built a system designed to prevent Americans from receiving their ballots, that is not election security. It is a betrayal of our Constitution and the American people.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Good news. A transgender Kansas Woman has successfully... for now... gotten her drivers license back after suing the state. It could open the door for other trans Kansans to get their drivers licenses back as well. The latest from our journalist S. Baum. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-wom...

Can be healing truly because I’m no longer in the victim, perpetrator, bystander triangle. I could actually create change and that’s powerful. I don’t think of myself as a victim but a willing participant and I stand by my choice of wanting to continue higher education.

With Devin putting v0.4 of Mourningstar out I finally get to post the art I did for the 7 available playbooks.
Playbook art for The Bastion and The Fury. An figure clad in armor of blood emerges from dark liquid upon their skull-faced steed. A figure screaming in rage transforms into a more demonic self, a dragon of light emerging in flames behind them.A figurein priestly garb holds a twisting staff and smoke-spewing censor. In the smoke behind them lurks the face of leviathan. A figure directs glowing sprites like a conductor, their conductor's baton expells lines like circuits.A masked figure holds wine and a fan in front of a laughing crowd of silhouettes. A horned figure in a veil wields their wand and book. Fire burns betwixt their horns and eye-like stars shine from beneath their cloak.A seer makes the Tenshinhan pose to an amulet on their forehead. Tarot cards spill in front of them and an hourglass filled with skulls looms behind them.

The Trump administration is going directly after LGBTQ healthcare providers and targeting them with threats of losing access to Medicaid/Medicare payments. This is government by tweet, where every day, HHS targets more and more GAC providers with threats of investigation and withholding of funding.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by "HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart" (@HHSGCMikeStuart), dated February 11, 2026.

The post states that healthcare systems are "stopping sex-rejecting procedures and gender mutilation of our children." It claims that the ASPS and AMA have made statements against these procedures and that over 40 hospital systems have recently stopped providing them.

The post further announces that referrals for investigation have been made to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at HHS for several Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), including:

    Whitman-Walker Health (Washington D.C.)

    Community Health Project, Inc./Callen-Lorde (New York)

    Los Angeles LGBT Center (California)

    The Institute for Family Health (New York)

The text concludes by stating that HHS, Secretary Kennedy, and the Office of General Counsel will continue to take actions to "protect our children from life-altering, damaging and fake healthcare treatments."
