I Felt Terrified To Raise A Baby Girl In This World. Then, 5 Words From My OB-GYN Gave Me Hope.
And, more pressingly and personally: Did I deserve the responsibility, joys, and privileges of motherhood? It was an easy subway ride to the fertility clinic, and I snagged early morning appointments that barely interfered with work.

Some of the news items tRump doesn't want you to see: July 9, 2025 edition - with poll
Moreover, the White House press, which was perpetually rude to President Biden, constantly bows and scrapes and kisses up to tRump. They rarely ask hard questions, and when they do but don’t get answers, they don’t press; they don’t correct lies and contradictions. First, most Americans don’t think the tariffs will lower prices. This is from a recent YouGov poll Taylor Orth, David Montgomery72% of Americans think that Trump's tariffs will increase the prices they pay, including 39% who expect they will increase prices a lot and 33% a little. These are just a few of the stories that tRump doesn’t want us to see or to elevate.

Paramount's Outrageous '60 Minutes' Settlement May Be Even Worse Than It Appears
LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe dealings to settle President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against “60 Minutes” may have been even more complicated and unseemly than was initially known. Advertisement“We did a deal for about $16 million plus $16 million, or maybe more than that in advertising. So it’s a combination of 16 plus 16 plus. So it’s like $32 [million] to maybe $35 million,” Trump said, according to a White House press pool report from The Washington Post’s Cat Zakrzewski. The $8 billion merger will require approval from the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission, which has led many to fear that the Paramount settlement is really about greasing the government’s wheels.

Elon Musk Has A Plan To Keep Civilization From Collapsing. There's 1 Little Problem...
Elon Musk Has A Plan To Keep Civilization From Collapsing. So when I see billionaires like Elon Musk telling the world to have more kids or civilization will collapse, I want to scream. People think single parents live some glamorous sitcom life, but no one shows the scenes where you’re crying over the stove because you can’t afford gas and groceries in the same week. Without Medicaid to supplement my Medicare, I can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs for necessary care and medications. If you don’t contribute enough to their campaign coffers, they don’t care if you live or die.

If You Use Laundry Detergent Pods, You Might Want To Stop, And This Is Why
If we’re not doing it, we need to do it, or we just finished doing it, or we’re going to have to do it soon. You’d think that because we can’t escape it, we’d have perfected it by now, but too many of us are doing it all wrong. That’s what we — Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the co-hosts of HuffPost’s “Am I Doing It Wrong?” podcast — discovered when we recently chatted with Patric Richardson, aka The Laundry Evangelist. Richardson fell in love with cleaning clothes when he was just 2-and-a-half years old and is now the king of a laundry empire that includes sold-out laundry camps, a bestselling book, his own laundry products and an HGTV show, “The Laundry Guy.”One of the most shocking things we learned during our chat? We’re probably using the wrong kind of detergent and way too much of it, which could be hindering how clean our clothes get.

Trump Officials Are Doing Everything They Can To Obscure The Actual Fallout Of His Tax Bill
LOADING ERROR LOADINGIn interviews on Sunday, Trump administration officials did everything they could to downplay the Medicaid cuts in the president’s massive tax bill, given the electoral backlash Republicans could face. Work requirements are typically more popular, though support for them declines after people learn that most recipients are already working, and that these policies can increase administrative costs. Gig economy workers who have unpredictable hours, as well as people who provide caregiving for adult family members, are also among those who might not meet the work requirements.
