Restoration Of The Empire

[Christina Buttons @buttonslives]

NEW UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: I spent several months investigating a nationwide network of advocacy organizations and medical providers helping families continue medically transitioning their children in defiance of state laws.

My investigation centers on Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE), an LGBT advocacy nonprofit that connects families with cooperating medical providers across the country. CSE has distributed over $1 million in travel grants to more than 1,200 families, plus another $1 million to partner organizations, including funding for medical appointments.

With CSE's knowledge, providers in its referral network told me the ways that they circumvent state restrictions on gender-transition treatments for minors.

Some discussed using alternative diagnosis codes, such as “endocrine disorder,” to facilitate prescriptions or insurance coverage. Others described mailing medications directly to families' homes or sending prescriptions to pharmacies in states where these interventions are banned.

Providers also discussed conducting virtual appointments with patients in those states. Others required patients to cross state lines for telehealth but did not appear to have a reliable method for verifying their physical location.

My primary undercover scenario involved an 11-year-old girl in Tennessee who had only recently begun identifying as nonbinary, with no long history of gender-related distress. The providers I shared this scenario with seemed eager to treat her. Many indicated that puberty blockers could be prescribed after an initial evaluation lasting just one to several hours.

My investigation uncovered practices that may violate state and federal laws and pose medical risks to children living hundreds or thousands of miles from their treating physicians.

“China doesn’t have a Mexico. Europe doesn’t have a Mexico. We do.”

Texas billionaire Ross Perot Jr. says a fully integrated North America has the demographics and resources needed to compete globally, calling Mexico key to the region’s ability to “grow and prosper." He spoke at Bloomberg Invest Dallas https://t.co/8lsL5D7cMb

@TheLastNeocon I never knew getting an attractive woman to say things I already agree with would be so effective.

@shanewallick @DerekPederson3 Are you ok with Vivek's ad? He's just doing "anything to win"

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Incredible. Endless stories about young people feeling disillusioned, dooming about not being able to even buy a house etc, and yet there is no politician of any party (afaik) that will actually do anything to reduce the boomers’ slice of the pie.

@k1spaz lowkey not good enough either. We have maybe 4(more likely 3) players good enough to contend with after 1.5 b. We're so cooked.

Exclusionary zoning is bad.

But "inclusionary zoning," rather than being the opposite of bad exclusionary zoning, is just the same old exclusionary barriers to multifamily housing given a new name.

Just say no!

@_samdrow @sanityalert_ @BenAntRaho Obviously but there's a distinction

[Jaden🌹 @jadenainelynch]

just heard someone say "people are more important than the economy" and it occurred to me that some people genuinely believe that others care about the economy because they like numbers going up and not because it drives living standards for the population

@sanityalert_ @BenAntRaho is the graph nominal or PPP?

Can people like this come up with a single good reason why we should use taxpayer money to pay poor, unproductive people to take up the single most valuable real estate on the planet?
