WASHINGTON " The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that gender-affirming surgeries be delayed until a patient is at least 19 years old, the group announced in a statement Tuesday. The statement, made by the group's board of directors, represents a break from major U.S. medical groups that have supported the care, and applies to facial, chest, and genital procedures performed for transgender and nonbinary patients. The group, a professional association with more than 11,000 physician members, emphasized that the statement was not a clinical practice guideline but instead "professional guidance" for care the group said was "rapidly evolving and controversial." read more

But Newsom has a problem: He has been a California politician for decades, and has held the state's governorship since 2019. During his tenure, the state has been a laboratory for some of the Democratic Party's most politically fraught policies and instincts, which has left it less affordable and more culturally radical than it used to be. His record not only raises pressing questions about how effectively he could govern as president; it also provides opponents an endless buffet of vulnerabilities across social and economic issues. read more

I know you like to think that ... but then again you're in a bubble...
This black ice agent is going viral after asking a leftist if they are a man, causing leftists around him to crash out
They then call the agent a "house ni**er (during black history month) as they drive off.

California countered, with a statewide vote.
Which state is more democratic? (lower-case "d" intentional)

The US is a Representative Democracy, not a Democratic Representative.
The idea isn't that the most votes in the State get to draw up the representative map. If this were the case, then why all the lawsuits about minority representation in Texas that kicked off this whole process?
California is the least representative democracy state in the Union. There has been more than a handful of propositions that have passed, and the Governor won't fund it, or the Judical branch has ruled them illegal. Today the debt of the State is directly tied to this judicial ruling.
California voted for new water projects, all but one has been cancelled. Where did the money go?

The Democracy in CA voted to have a bipartisan commission to draw up the representative maps. When things got tough California abandoned it and voted to have tyranny of the majority, much like the State Assembly/Senate.
BTW: California will lose Representatives in 2030 to Texas and Florida, because California government is nothing but a taxation machine.
California is what I would call tyranny of the majority, the irony is 40% of the voters are Republican.
Finally I don't understand why America has a "winner take all" geographic representative system, it should be proportional to the ideas.
" You haven't been able to show evidence of "massive fraud" in any other case and I'll bet you couldn't lay it out now.

I don't have massive evidence banks are being robbed either. But I still would like to have secure banking, and continued improvements in security as allowed.
Why are we going to have ICE surround the polls come November?
Why do you believe Newsom's lies?

Its interesting how Gaslighter avoids the reality of a Liberal calling a black person a "House Nword"....
Oh no, that never happened ... wink wink nudge nudge....
Instead needs to comment, lying I might add, about me. Typical trolling behavior.
