Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Piero birthed a lot of those conspiracies amongst the right wing crazies via Fox News. You have them to thank.

You realize you are bumping a post from 2015, right?

Do you honestly think Seran understands how to read a calendar or how dates work though?

He definitely doesn't know how dates work.

High hopes moving forward for the disabled and their families.

Guess that means parents and doctors are the appropriate deciders regarding the medical care of minors and not a state government passing Christian beliefs as laws. As noted, the religious leanings of the legislature is no rational reason for dictating medical treatment of a populace.

US judge blocks Florida ban on trans minor care in narrow ruling, says ‘gender identity is real’

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Saying gender identity is real, a federal judge temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, ruling Tuesday that the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.

Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction, saying three transgender children can continue receiving treatment. The lawsuit challenges the law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed shortly before he announced a run for president.

“The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear,” Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed.

Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack in many states and has been subject to restrictions or outright bans. But it has been available in the United States for more than a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations.

Let me guess... a liberal Judge appointed by Obama?

I'm shocked.

Really.

This is literally a problem that's going to fix at least 41% of itself over time.

Hey Seran, can you tell me what a woman is without saying the word "woman" in your definition?

This moron did his level best to destroy the CNN brand and their viewership and business suffered horribly. The Trump and Haley town halls was the nail in his coffin. The article on the Atlantic points out best of all how the man seemed to be deliberately sabotaging the brand on behalf of CNN's new right wing owner.

CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht is out

Chris Licht, the embattled chief executive and chairman of CNN, whose brief one-year tenure at the network was stained by a series of severe missteps, will depart the company.

“I met with Chris and he will be leaving CNN,” David Zaslav, the chief executive of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, told CNN employees at the start of the network’s daily editorial call Wednesday.

Licht’s departure, which came days after a devastating 15,000-word profile in The Atlantic, capped a tumultuous year for CNN, marked by layoffs, historically low ratings, and rock-bottom employee morale.

In the wake of The Atlantic article, Licht apologized to staffers Monday, telling the global news organization in a somber tone that he did not recognize himself when reading portions of the story and that he was sorry for having distracted from the newsroom’s work.

You know that CNN is owned by Warner Bros., right? A publicly traded company? And it's largest shareholder is Blackrock... not a right wing organization by any stretch of the imagination.

CNN has a brand? What was it? Lemon? Quomo? Tubbin? Whoever the giant fat balding man was?
