Not all people are sharing this approvingly because Brightbill might not understand the menopause healthcare situation. There is really is none. So it might seem like a scam that Berry is selling supplements but she’s also selling customized meal and exercise plans, hormone therapy and coaching.

"Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Fox Business attempts to do a segment on spiking small business bankruptcies, but one host says "is it chapter V or 5? I don't even know" and another one gets mad about the segment itself (because even discussing rising bankruptcies looks bad for Trump)
But note the voice of reason at the end!

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Quick clarification: the article says “new,” but it’s actually referring to the XBB.1.5 monovalent COVID shot that’s already available in many places. The study shows it produces stronger, longer-lasting antibodies than older versions — a good reminder to stay up to date with boosters.
