In the first years after birth, the human brain develops at a remarkable pace. Every second, more than a million new neural connections spring into being, shaping a personâs physical and emotional health for the rest of their life.
Since the Trump administration entered the White House last year, at least 500 babies and toddlers have spent some of that pivotal time in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE has dramatically increased detentions of children aged 3 and under, holding 25 of them in custody on an average day between January 2025 and March of this year, according to a new analysis by The Marshall Project and MS NOW of records obtained by the Deportation Data Project, a group of academics and lawyers who collect and share federal immigration data. That number is 10 times higher than it was in the previous 12 months under former President Joe Biden. Back then, on an average day, fewer than three babies and toddlers were held at facilities across the country.
Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. Itâs permeable to water vapor but not to water, itâs nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. Itâs cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, itâs used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.
Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.
When Kristen Welker calmly pushed him for actual evidence behind his âriggedâ election claims, Trump melted down, lashed out at her, called the network crooked, and abruptly ended the interview on Meet the Press rather than answer basic questions. He literally tore off his mic and stormed out on camera because he couldnât control the narrative.
But hereâs what almost no one in mainstream media is talking about: the way he moved as he left. His mobility is clearly limited, and itâs getting harder and harder to pretend weâre not watching a man whose physical condition is declining in real time. This is the same Trump who has been in and out of Walter Reed, needed âadvanced imagingâ on his heart and abdomen, and canât even keep straight whether he had a CT scan or an MRI â yet somehow weâre never given transparent, consistent updates about his health.
We had years of breathless coverage about Bidenâs every slip of the tongue and gait down a set of stairs â entire news cycles built around a 10-second clip. But Trump can visibly lose his temper, refuse basic questions, shuffle away from an interview, and brag about secret medical tests he never fully explains, and the press still treats his health as a footnote.
This isnât about shaming someone for aging. Itâs about basic standards. If youâre the President of the United States, you donât get to weaponize conspiracies about everyone elseâs fitness while hiding your own deteriorating condition behind spin, photo ops, and vague doctor letters.
Trump's prayer warriors are celebrating his snub of Pride Month, which they're celebrating by promoting a prayer guide to defeating the "dem
06/03/2026
Intercessors for America, a network of pro-Trump prayer warriors that works closely with the White House, is celebrating the Trump administrationâs refusal to acknowledge Pride Monthâcelebrated in the U.S. in Juneâand praising the State Departmentâs âhard shift away from promoting pride and ungodly sexuality,â which includes a ban on embassies displaying Pride flags.Â
In a Wednesday post, IFA suggest that people offer prayers of thanks for âleaders who are willing to stand for biblical truthâ and to ask God to âhelp our leaders stand strong against the lies of the pride and LGBT agendas.â
âWe prayed for an end to the erosion of biblical truth under President Biden, and those prayers have been answered through President Trump,â says IFA. âLetâs continue to pray for truth and wisdom for our leaders, as well as for policies that uphold Godâs design for individuals, families, and society.â
IFA kicked off Pride Month on Monday by promoting a âprayer guideâ that asks God to âexpose the demonic agenda behind âPrideâ Month and the ever increasing push toward normalizing sexual perversion and transgender ideology.â It warns that LGBTQ-affirming Christians will face âeternal consequencesâ for âpromoting what is detestableâ to God.Â
While the Trump administration and many of its religious-right allies already ârededicatedâ America to God last month, IFA is promoting its own gathering to ârededicateâ America at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. July 3 and 4. It will feature New Apostolic Reformation dominionist Dutch Sheets.Â
The Trump administrationâs snub of Pride Month is far less harmful than the hostile rhetoric and brutal policies that make life more difficult for transgender Americans, but like those attacks it reflects the influence of Trumpâs anti-equality religious-right political base.Â
Religious-right legal and political groups, with the help of right-wing Christian media outlets, have made some headway in reversing what had been growing Republican support for legal equality for LGBTQ people and same-sex couples. While marriage equality is supported by more than 80 percent of Democrats and two-thirds of independents, a recent Gallup poll shows support among Republicans dropping significantly to 35 percent.Â
That likely reflects the obsession of religious-right political and legal groups to overturn the Supreme Courtâs marriage equality decision. The recently launched Greater Than coalition and campaign demonizes gay parents as selfish people carrying out a âdestructive state-sanctioned gaslighting experiment on children.âÂ
A bit of brighter news for equality advocates came in the form of a June 1 ruling by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals finding that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsethâs ban on transgender people serving in the military was motivated by unconstitutional âanimus.â The Courtâs ruling was mixed; it upheld a lower courtâs preliminary injunction against the Pentagon forcing out trans people currently serving in the armed forces, but it allowed the Pentagon to bar trans people from joining the military while legal challenges to the policy move through the courts.Â
Hank Kunneman Says 'The Devil And His Demons' Do Not Want You To Know America Is Christian Nation
Self-proclaimed "prophet" Hank Kunneman claims that "the devil and his demons" are lying to Americans that this country wasn't founded as a Christian nation: "The demons do not want you, I, others to acknowledge that there were covenants, agreements, prayers, dedication of this great country at our founding to the Lord Jesus Christ."
