A 4th circuit panel of Republican appointees has ruled that Medicaid coverage bans on gender affirming care for adults are not unconstitutional. They cited Skrmetti 70 times in the decision. The en banc circuit court previously found it unconstitutional.

🇯🇵 Former Fukushima worker devotes life to pets abandoned after nuclear disaster
Not far from the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, former power plant worker Toru Akama now dedicates his life to the pets left behind in the wake of the triple disaster in March 2011.
“The Defense Department burned through $93 billion that month alone [September 2025 was the end of the fiscal year], signing checks left and right in order to dry up its congressionally allocated budget, according to a recent analysis by the government watchdog Open the Books.”
Yesterday Senator Chris Murphy attended a briefing on the war in Iran. Afterwards he said:
We are not going to be able to achieve any of our objectives. This is a disaster of epic proportions.
Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

I'm seriously trying to figure what it would take to convince Republicans to say ENOUGH of this fool and help get him impeached or 25ed.
News5PH: PANININDIGAN NI MARCOLETA, KINUWESTIYON NI LACSON
Tinanong ni Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson ang posisyon ni #Tsinator Rodante Marcoleta sa isyu ng #WestPhilippineSea at flood control anomalies.
“Police operatives busted an alleged illegal online gambling den in Cebu, arresting four Korean men reportedly running the hub
He detailed that the foreigners had been operating gambling hubs out of several condominium units and advertising their numbers game on social media in the last five years.”
"On the #WestPhilippinesSea, which side of the South China Sea is #Tsinator Marcoleta on?" Lacson asked. "I think we know the answers, Mr. President."

“Curiously, Mr. President, these narratives align with those of the Chinese narratives, plucked directly from the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ official website,” Lacson said.

TheSitRepPH: Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson revealed that several talking points used by #Tsinator Rodante Marcoleta regarding the Kalayaan Island Group mirror statements published on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the People's Republic of China.
“On the #WestPhilippinesSea — which side of the South China Sea is Senator Marcoleta on? On the anomalous graft-ridden flood control projects — is Senator Marcoleta for the Discayas or the People of the Philippines?” Lacson said in his speech. “I think we know the answers.”
“Lacson said Marcoleta’s “relative” is a director at Stronghold Inc., and Milestone Guaranty, insurance companies that provided bonds for the said private contractors, Lacson also slammed “surprise” witness Orly Guteza, and the so-called “minority report” which he said is an “affront” to the BRC.”
Basta Duterte enabler, corrupt.
“Lacson said this smacks of admission against interest, noting that while Marcoleta and his legal team claimed he received donations before he became a candidate, he was still a public official at that time—a representative of SAGIP party-list in the House.”

"The military also bought $6.9 million of lobster tail this September."
A good day for justice.
@news.abs-cbn.com: #BalikTanaw: Isang taon na mula nang maaresto si dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Sunod na inaabangan ang desisyon ng Pre-Trial Chamber I kung kukumpirmahin ang mga isinasakdal sa kaniya kaugnay ng kasong crimes against humanity. #DuterteInICC
US officials signaled military operations were escalating against Iran and there was little chance of diplomatic talks, throwing cold water on Trump’s suggestion that the conflict could be resolved soon
Fuck America for still not impeaching that deranged warmonger.
Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue. https://cnn.it/4ljpiay
Missile debris that Iranian officials claim was recovered from the deadly strikes which hit an elementary school in southern Iran on February 28 appears to be from an American Tomahawk cruise missile, according to CNN analysis. https://cnn.it/4b2jrTE
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
The main thing to know about the 17E is that the iPhone 17 exists, it costs $200 more, and it comes with a long list of upgrades. And if it’s within your means to put down that extra money, you should.
Read our review from @allisonjo1.bsky.social:
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
4) Even the “hilot” or midwife who attended Sy’s birth does not have records with the PSA.
Chen Zhong Zen, “who is almost certainly a Chinese national … managed to infiltrate our country, ruin our environment, pilfer our natural resources, and bring them to his home country.”
2) Sy’s affidavit of delayed registration of birth was notarized by a lawyer “who isn’t real”
3) There were also no records for Sy’s parents in the civil registry, “whether it’s a certificate of live birth, certificate of marriage or certificate of death.”
Grabe infiltration ng mga espiya ng China sa atin kasi maraming corrupt sa gobyerno.
Ambatali listed “clear indicators” that Sy is not a Filipino citizen.
1) mining tycoon’s baptismal certificate was not in the records of the parish church that supposedly issued the document.
