Parents, Alumni Protest Great Hearts Academies' Transgender Policy

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is taking 500-plus days on average to process kits used to preserve evidence of sexual assault — almost six times as long as the division’s stated goal. The backlog of the exams, commonly referred to as rape kits, was exacerbated by a CBI scandal in which a lab analyst, Yvonne “Missy” Woods, was found to have manipulated the results of more than 1,000 DNA tests over a long period.

Ketan Joshi did not mean to become the manager of all things climate on Bluesky, the fast-growing social media platform that’s trying to compete directly with Twitter. GreenSky was designed to be this overarching, overall thing that encompassed all the communities. I see that emerging through the GreenSky feed, because you see people from very disparate communities talking to each other. The 39-year-old Australian expat who now lives in Oslo, Norway has spent his career writing about green energy as a communications specialist for renewable energy companies and author of Windfall: Unlocking a Fossil-Free Future, but found it especially hard to share climate information on platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

It wasn’t long ago when a daily glass of wine was considered safe, even healthy. The practice could confer onto someone a sense of sophistication, a realized version of whatever “bon vivant” means. But in recent years, as multiple studies started to dismantle that notion of safety, I tended to mostly ignore what I had considered obvious: Alcohol is not great for you.

MAGA Congressman Roger Marshall claims to be a medical doctor. An obstetrician, if you can believe him. As Republicans go on the offensive to justify their plans to cut Social Security and Medicare, "Doctor" Marshall claims he can only improve 10-20% of your healthcare needs anyway. The rest is YOUR FAULT. So, cutting health insurance for old and poor people only makes sense! REP ROGER MARSHALL: Look, about 70% of your health outcomes are determined by you. It's determined by what you eat and what you're surrounded by. By the time you come to my office as a doctor, I can impact maybe 10 or 20% of your health outcomes. As an obstetrician, give me a healthy mom was the most important thing you could do for a healthy outcome for the mom and the baby. So absolutely, and then we need to make these healthy foods affordable, available as well, and then try to eliminate and minimize the toxins that we're exposed to. Look, we're coming after ultra-processed foods. We think that they have a big problem and have a big challenge. Think about Alzheimer's. I think Alzheimer's is really type 3 diabetes in many ways as well. So there's huge opportunities ahead of us. The medical profession has been "thinking" about Alzheimer's, jackass.

The backlash has already started after JD Vance said this to Shannon Bream on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: The focus on President-elect Donald Trump's vow to pardon Jan. 6 protesters is sharpening, with his return to the White House just eight days away. Vice President-elect JD Vance — who, like Trump, has been critical of a justice system allegedly weaponized against the protesters — laid out how their offenses might be weighed when considering the pardons. "If you protested peacefully on January 6th, and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned," Vance told Fox News' Shannon Bream during an exclusive one-on-one interview that aired Sunday. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned, and there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.

The governor of fire-ravaged California seems to be having some kind of meltdown.
