Why more LGBTQ+ parents are choosing midwives. Even in hospital births. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/10/why-...

Why more LGBTQ+ parents are choosing midwives. Even in hospital births. - LGBTQ Nation

Midwifery & medicine can absolutely mix. And families often find that the payoff — a provider who truly understands and respects them — is worth it.

The good news: Ascension WI and United Healthcare have come to an agreement, ending their standoff retroactive to October 1st. Care at Ascension facilities is once again “in-network.”

The bad news: we still have a healthcare system that’s too expensive for just about everyone…

Farmers want fair trade, not aid

“He’s destroying our markets.”

When even lifelong farmers have to spell it out this clearly, it’s time for a change.

We don’t need bailouts. We need leaders who actually understand rural America.

Bailouts are Band-Aids. Leadership Matters!

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
