Today Secretary Robert Kennedy announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will propose rules that will bar hospitals that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding—i.e., all of them— from performing “sex-rejecting procedures on children that expose young people to irreversible harm.” Banned procedures will include chemical treatments as well as surgery.
While the proposed rules do not appear to be public yet, Kennedy’s Declaration in support of the rules is here. And this process implements President Trump’s Executive Order directing HHS to take such actions, among other things.

Untold pixels have been spilled on the subject of illegal immigration, in the legacy media, the alternative media, and the blogosphere. President Trump was re-elected, in no small part, due to his promise to address the wide-open borders policy of the Biden years, and despite opposition at every step from the legacy media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) he's been doing that.
But what about legal immigration?
Some recent polling has revealed that a plurality of responders would like to see legal immigration reduced, or even halted altogether.
Two-thirds of Republicans want legalized migration to be decreased or ended, says a new poll by YouGov.
In contrast,

Democrats are sinking like a stone, and the new Quinnipiac poll makes it official: their congressional approval rating has hit a historic low of just 18%, with a brutal 73% disapproving. That's the worst number Quinnipiac has recorded since they started asking the question back in 2009. Even CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide his shock, declaring that "Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea."
The real kicker? Democrats are turning on their own party. Only 42% of Democratic voters approve of how their representatives in Congress are performing, while 48% disapprove.

A Wisconsin judge accused of concealing an undocumented man to prevent his arrest by immigration authorities was found guilty of felony obstruction, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN, which was in the courtroom for the trial.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was charged in a two-count federal indictment that alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedings and knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.
Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal agents and not guilty of concealing an undocumented immigrant from arrest during an April courthouse incident.

The Brown University shooting probe reportedly reached Salem, New Hampshire, on Thursday. After reports linked the Providence incident to the murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, a large police presence was seen in the Rockingham County town. Boston 25 reporter Bob Ward cited law enforcement sources to state that the search for a suspect in the Brown University mass shooting and the Brookline murder is centered on Salem, New Hampshire. Officials are yet to make a statement about the reported development. HT.com cannot verify the latest report currently.
FlightRadar map showed at least three helicopters circling over the Windham–Salem area near the Merrimack River.

America has a lot of secrets: the nuclear launch codes, what’s going on at Area 51, Bigfoot, why the Denver International Airport seems so odd, whatever happened to D. B. Cooper, and exactly what evidence convinced several U.S. government agencies that the most likely cause of the Covid-19 pandemic was a lab leak.
And over at the Democratic National Committee, they’re locking up the biggest secret of all: why the Democrats lost the 2024 election.
In a move that should unleash harsh criticism and recriminations,

Charlie Kirk assassin suspect Tyler Robinson made jokes about how conservative figures will “catch a bullet one day,” and mocked attempted Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks for failing to “shoot straight.” Robinson, who once bragged about being able to hit a 400-yard shot, began openly adopting left-wing stances after getting into a relationship with his transgender roommate, whom he was seen physically coddling while the trans cried over politics, friends and former colleagues told the Washington Post.
The newspaper spoke with 21 people who knew Robinson and examined hundreds of messages the assassin suspect exchanged online, as well as in a Discord server

It's now into the fifth day since the shooting at Brown University, where someone killed two students and injured nine. Meanwhile, the press conferences have projected incompetence from the authorities, which hasn't given the public a lot of confidence that they're going to find the killer.
On Wednesday, they announced they had a second person they wanted to speak to, who they characterized as having been in the vicinity of the primary person of interest for whom they are looking.
They already released one "person of interest" who they had briefly detained.

When Donald Trump took the oath of office in January, he inherited an economic mess courtesy of Joe Biden — soaring inflation, record-high gas prices, and a cost-of-living crisis that had American families scrambling to make ends meet. As we close in on a full year of Trump being back in office, there’s no doubt that things are turning around. Inflation has been slashed by more than half, gas prices are plummeting, real wages are climbing, and the everyday expenses that crushed household budgets under Biden are finally moving in the right direction. Even job creation is happening for native born Americans, not foreign workers.

Inflation dropped in November, ending a monthslong acceleration of price increases and offering relief for households strained by cost hikes, government data on Thursday showed. The reading came in below economists' expectations.
Consumer prices rose 2.7% in November compared to a year earlier, marking a notable reduction from 3% year-over-year inflation in September, the most recent month for which complete data is available. Inflation stands at its lowest level since July. The report offered the first look at price increases in nearly two months, after the 43-day government shutdown impaired data collection.
Despite an overall reduction of inflation, some high-profile items like coffee and beef continued to soar in November.

The Washington Post published a deep dive on Tyler Robinson's life and political views prior to the shooting of Charlie Kirk. What they found is that Robinson seemed to have a fairly bland a pox on both their houses view of the two political parties for quite a while. That changed when he started dating his roommate, who was very vocal about trans rights and his disgust at the re-election of President Trump.
But because this is the Post, the story is framed as a rebuttal to Trump and Republicans.
This examination draws on interviews with 21 people who knew Robinson, as well as hundreds

Non-discrimination policies are funny things; in trying to carve out special rights or privileges for one group, another group often finds itself being discriminated against. Such is the case in deep-blue Massachusetts, where, up until very recently, Christian couples who refused to sign a so-called "LGBTQIA+ Non-Discrimination Policy" were forbidden from serving as foster parents.
On Tuesday, all that changed when the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF), which oversees the state's foster program, announced it would no longer require couples to sign the policy after learning from its federal regulator that the requirement was unconstitutional.
