    Kevin McCarthy is threatening to block all funding for the military unless they end their decades old requirement that troops be vaccinated.

    Holy crap..hope whoever it is, gets the help they need. Like most of us (sadly, and probably), I grew up knowing someone who committed suicide. It devastated their parents and actually almost caused his sister to do the same later in life.

    One would hope this changes Ted's mindset on a lot of things, but I don't know if he is willing to give up on the perceived power and strength he thinks he has.

    Imagine just having to go through something like this at 14 at all. Add in Texas. Add in knowing your dad has said/will say he opposes it, and the world knows it. Absolutely awful anyone has to go through that.

    I truly truly hope this young girl has a friend or family member who can support her.
    Sadly, LGBTQ youth are more likely than straight to attempt suicide. Not because they are gay but because they are rejected, or fear being rejected, for being gay.

    Newt Gingrich has lesbian sister. Dick Cheney has lesbian daughter. Phyliss Schlafly had gay son. Herschel Walker has gay son. Elon Musk has transgender child.
    Having an LGBTQ family member does not, unfortunately, stop anyone from being a bigot.
    Sometimes it does.
    Sadly, too rare.

    Which kind of shows that conservatives are more likely to lack empathy than liberals.

    Yes. They are openly scornful of empathy. People who are hungry, sick, lonely, poor are losers. Republican Jesus loves the wealthy and powerful.

    Health officials gain guardianship of baby whose parents refused ‘vaccinated blood’ transfusion
    Sensible decision by the High Court, I hope the "parents" don't hold it against the boy.
