Let's be clear.
Gender-affirming care is good health care. There's no debate, despite what some journalists and politicians try to say in their attempt to garner their platform.

Here’s the thing: there are some politicians for whom this is just a good line, which it is. But for @AOC, it’s not just that. It’s really who she is. She’s one of the most genuinely selfless leaders I’ve ever met.
South Africa has withdrawn its first draft national AI policy after revelations that it contained fictitious sources in its reference list which appeared to have been AI-generated. https://t.co/KGdln6WrSw
HUGE NEWS for editors: the AP has changed its style guide. It's now "healthcare" (not "health care") and "childcare" (not "child care") https://t.co/189NypUkyo
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal#FreeBenAndJerrys
I have to say I have been struck that the prominent members of the financial community have had more to say being critical of @ZohranKMamdani's bad ideas about grocery stores in New York than they have the wholesale takeover of the @FederalReserve, which is a major threat to the financial system. I am very worried that highly irresponsible behaviors are being normalized by what President @realDonaldTrump is doing and by the failure of the establishment and of traditional voices.
