TL;DR;

Trump admin guts the Biden-era EMTALA guidance which forced hospitals to provide life-saving abortions in medical emergencies.

CMS claims it’ll still enforce EMTALA only if the fetus is also at risk. Translation: Pregnant people’s health no longer matters.

SCOTUS’s non-rulings left ER docs guessing if they’ll face prison for doing their jobs.

This isn’t "states’ rights" it’s state-sanctioned femicide. The admin’s own CMS admits the goal is to "rectify confusion" (read: intimidate hospitals into compliance).

It's always appalling to me how quickly everyone stopped taking about the horrible treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China.

Then to pile on with threats, extortion and blackmail, On Canadian soil no less.

For how far China has come socially it still has a long way to go.

TL;DR:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to bar government-funded scientists from publishing in several government funded medical journals accusing them of being "corrupt" and controlled by Big Pharma. Instead, he proposed creating HHS-run "in-house" journals, claiming they would become the new gold standard for medical research.

This move risks turning U.S. medical research into a political tool, eroding trust, accelerating the decline of American science and creating an eminent threat to the American healthcare system.

Dear God, I'd hope so. Although I'd 100% believe Alberta would put an LLM in charge of road safety and only implement the bad stuff.

20 people sharing a single truck for an hour each week to do their shit uses just as much fuel and causes just as much pollution as those same 20 people using 20 trucks for an hour.

This is incorrect, over half the greenhouse gasses released during the service life of a vehicle are made when it is created.

Eat my entire ass, until the fascist is out and you take real steps to make sure that can't happen again, I'll shop elsewhere. I learned to cook over this.

TL;DR:

Over a dozen U.S. government officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump’s major tariff announcements, which later caused market drops. While there’s no proof they used insider info, the timing is extremely suspect

Officials who sold their stocks include a White House lawyer, a State Department official, and a Trade Representative director selling shares before key announcements. Experts argue such trades undermine trust in government and markets.
