@TonyStark And this only happens when the Republicans control the House and there's a Democratic President.
This is a purely manufactured crisis by Republicans and Republicans only.
@TonyStark GOP raised debt ceiling 3 times for Trump letting him add $7 trillion to the debt but now they lie that they worry about debt because Biden is a Dem and they want him to fail and the country as well.

A truly amazing and exhaustively cited act of investigative journalism by the phenomenal @zinnia

It turns out that virtually ALL of the sham "science" behind the anti-trans movement can be traced directly back to a very small number of purely ideologically driven "doctors" citing one another over and over again to try to give the impression that standard evidence based trans healthcare is controversial.

It's basically the scientific equivalent of writing a blog with nothing more than your own opinions, your friend writes an article citing your blog, another friend writes an article citing both of you, and then showing up in front of public health boards saying "see, here's 3 articles showing how I'm right!"

In any normal and reasonable political environment, these quacks would be laughed out of the room with such flimsy "evidence". Yet because the far right has captured statehouses across the country, they're laundering this junk science into "real" science.

Hey Ontario...

In 2015, 8 years ago & well before the pandemic..
Nearly a billion pounds (1.7B CDN) was given to 11 private healthcare companies to 'help' tackle the backlog of patients waiting for surgery in the UK.
It was the largest deal in NHS history at the time. It didn't work.

Today...ā€œGreat swathes of the NHS are now being gobbled up by these 11 private companies, hungry for more profit."
The wait lists remain.
