Republicans Brace for the Next Wave of Big Beautiful Debates |
by Suzanne Bowdey |
When Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) hauled the "one, big, beautiful bill" over its first mountain - House passage - he had one request. To the GOP senators, he said, "I encourage them to modify the package that we're sending over there as little as possible." Thinking back over the warring factions in his chamber, he added, "Because we have to maintain that balance, and it's a very delicate thing." But in the days since last Thursday, it's not clear if any Republicans, including the one in the White House, are listening. |

by Joshua Arnold |
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell (D) apparently had a miserable Memorial Day weekend. It was bad enough that a repulsive band of religious conservatives had the nerve to stage a "Don't Mess with Our Kids" rally in his progressive utopia, sullying its sensuality with their objection to transgender ideology. Then, after a bureaucratic bungle by his own government, the police department had to arrest nearly two dozen counter-"protestors" who did more than protest - what an embarrassment! |

Addressing Infertility Upstream of the IVF Dilemma |
by Chuck Donovan |
In early April, in one of its cost-cutting moves, the Trump administration dismissed six public health personnel who constituted the Center for Disease Control's Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Surveillance team. The timing of the dismissal sparked commentary as it happened at the midpoint of a much-publicized review of federal funding for in vitro fertilization (IVF), the ART team's primary mission. Today, with the Trump IVF review now several days overdue, the weakness of data on key issues surrounding reproductive matters. |

Totalitarian Social Engineering (Part 3): Family and Marriage |
by Yoe Suarez |
The Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) demanded parents be active in indoctrination. Homes belonged to the State; whatever was discussed at the dinner table, at the weekend dinner, had to contribute to the goals of socialism. "Adults who act by omission also indirectly reinforce the consolidation of negative behaviors that, when repeated and aggravated over time, can lead some children and adolescents to commit crimes." Imagine if your child ended up a counterrevolutionary! Or worse: a conservative! |
