Texas House Bill 7 would allow private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, mails, or provides abortion medication to or from Texas. Successful plaintiffs would be awarded at least $100,000 in damages. HB 7's author Jeff Leach (R-Allen) said his proposal only adds teeth to the state's law passed in 2021 that already bans most abortions. HB 7 sends all appeals of civil lawsuits through conservative-leaning Fifteenth Court of Appeals, which has exclusive jurisdiction over cases involving the state or state agencies and challenges to state laws. Several representatives of the Texas Medical Association pleaded to lawmakers to vote down the bill. Said ignoramus Jeff Leach : "The Texas Woman and Child Protection Act is the nation's strongest bill to protect Texas babies and their moms from harmful and illegal abortion pills." read more
"The Trumpf junta has a new weapon at its disposal in its efforts to take down Democrats, their appointees, and the Dotard's enemies: mortgage records. Junta members have now alleged three public officials have committed mortgage fraud, referring each to the Justice Department. The regime has signaled that it has just gotten started: the despicable US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin was recently tapped to investigate fraud by public officials in mortgages.' The targets have denied wrongdoing, but the probes represent an aggressive new spin on opposition research that has long dug into tax records and financial disclosures public officeholders have to make. Mortgage applications go beyond the typical disclosure requirements." read more
Cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) are increasing across the Philadelphia region. The uptick comes as children, who are most susceptible to the virus, get ready to head back to school. Said Dr. Dan Taylor: "In 24 years as a pediatrician, I really have not seen this many cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in my entire career." While common in infants, babies, and toddlers, cases in older kids are growing, he added. "Atypical cases occur in older kids, kids older than five, younger kids get it in the mouth, whereas older kids get it around the mouth and in the arms and legs," he said. "HFMD is unsightly and can be painful at times. The drooling factor definitely makes enterovirus more contagious. It's shed in the stool, so when you have little ones, changing diapers can increase it. Handwashing and hygiene are paramount." read more

Dummkopf Trumpf said ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin may attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament. Putin can sit next to Benjamin Netanyahu and they can exchange notes on mass murder. I imagine the same would apply for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Republicans hate the poor, sick, and elderly. Europeans already have a longer life expectancy than Americans because of universal health care and regulations on nutrition and the environment. This disparity will widen in the future thanks to the Trumpf junta's 'BBB' and these cuts to medical research. Link: preview.redd.it
Thanks Republican voters and SCOTUS, Gut arbet!
