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

Lets break it down ....
The failure of the sewage system in DC has dumped around 200-300 million gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac.
The Exxon Valdez oil spill was 11 million gallons.
That means that there has been 27.7 Exxon Valdez spills.
Another way to look at it, a John Lewis class Navy oiler can carry 5.5/6.5 million gallons of fuel. Let's call that 6 million gallons.
What we are looking at is 50 John Lewis class oilers dumping a full load of sewage in the waters around the nation's capital.
Fascinating while complaining about cutting back EPA rules that didn't have much affect, this whole episode is dropped on the floor.
Why have lumpers moved on from the environment?

Note to all D's thinking of 28: watch @marcorubio outstanding speech today.
Some in our Party (looking at you @CAgovernor ) argue to "go back" to pre-Trump. That era is dead.
Whoever can articulate a fresh, coherent view of leadership to address the new, changing world and its risks and opportunities will have the advantage.

I was under the impression Trump kicked and called cops on Epstein at Trumps club. Why would he do that if guilty of whatever your claim is?

Can you believe the whole Secret Service hiring prostitutes was made up to cover for an Obama staffer?
Lol the Obama general counsel contacted Epstein to help navigating the issue
