The United Kingdom's highest court ruled that the legal definition of "woman" excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied. Britain's Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the definition of a woman in equality legislation refers to "a biological woman and biological sex," sparking celebrations outside court among gender-critical campaigners but warnings it was a "worrying" development for transgender people. read more

Once seen as the bedrock of the global financial system, America has transformed into an unreliable economic partner under Donald Trump's erratic White House administration. And that comes at a cost, as we saw earlier this week when investors dumped US debt over fears that the president's trade war would trigger a financial crisis. This shows that the "premium on US treasuries remains high", says Garvey, referring to the extra interest investors demand in return for taking the risk to lend over time. read more

"As of early 2025, approximately 56% of driver licenses and IDs in circulation nationwide are compliant with Real ID standards. However, compliance rates vary significantly by state, with some states having less than 40% compliance."

So, yeah, when about 40%-50% of the population lack the ID for exercising a right they are entitled to under the Constitution, some might say that's a problem. Not you or the other MAGAts though, I'm sure.

Just in case if I get in trouble for previous comment. There's literally a 50/50 on Black or Hispanic.

what? a measles pandemic that shuts down our economy?

Here you go:
A US army-wide measles outbreak in 1917-18 resulted in more than 95,000 cases and more than 3000 deaths.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Unlike when folks were exposed to measles in childhood, resulting in gradual exposure of the population to the virus, we now run the risk of many folks with no immunity contracting it at once. That sets the stage for much more serious results.

"The death rate in the 1920s was around 30% for measles pneumonia. People who are at high risk for complications are infants and children aged less than 5 years; adults aged over 20 years; pregnant women; people with compromised immune systems"
en.wikipedia.org

Any of that sound worrisome? But yeah, let's let this run its course. What's the worst that could happen? And it's not like we have any alternatives available to us.
