When Graham appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program afterward, she attempted to recover by pivoting from her lack of national security knowledge to transgender athletes, as The Advocate reported.

“Of course, Taiwan is our friend,” Graham said. “But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about making ends meet. They are concerned about boys in girls’ sports.”

Trump continued that strategy Friday by making transgender people a central part of his argument for Graham. He attacked Andrews as a “far-left political hack who supports transgender for everybody” and accused her of telling “confused children they’re trapped in the wrong body.”

Trump may have conflated those medical procedures with agreements his Justice Department has forced on two major hospital systems. Those settlements require Texas Children’s Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic to establish or fund services for people who voluntarily seek to detransition. They do not order hospitals to perform surgery on anyone.

In May, Texas Children’s agreed to pay the state $10 million, end gender-affirming care for minors and establish what federal officials called the country’s first “restorative care” clinic for detransitioners. The Houston hospital also agreed to terminate five physicians connected to its transgender health program and permanently revoke their privileges, as The Advocate reported.

Prestige Brand Holdings has voluntarily recalled a batch of its Clear Eyes eye drops after FDA alert

Nearly 40,000 bottles of eye drops are being pulled from store shelves across the US over concerns about potential contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Prestige Brand Holdings, based in Tarrytown, New York, has voluntarily recalled 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops because of a “lack of assurance of sterility”, an FDA enforcement report states. The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall, defined on the agency’s website as a moderate-risk situation “in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote”.

The recall specifically covers 15ml bottles carrying lot code 2552A and an expiration date of 30 September 2027. The eye drops were distributed by Medtech Products Inc, a Prestige Consumer Healthcare company.

There is no statutory requirement that Secretary Proffitt personally investigate all claims, yet his department reserved the power to investigate trans people for him personally

This snake plant has been through a lot. My best friend/roommate and I went through one of the hardest times of our lives together, as our apartment was almost completely gutted in a fire. My snake plant survived and is thriving, but I can’t say exactly the same for hers. We made it out okay, but this once-strong, stiff snake plant is now thinner, smaller, softer, and perhaps not long for this world.

I’d love nothing more right now than to give it another lease on life. I know the general potting soil it’s in is not ideal, and was thinking of repotting it in a succulent-focused mix.

Does anyone have any input? Similar circumstances? Ideas on what else might be the cause? Tips on repotting? I’m just terrified that once I pull it up, there will be like three roots left, and the shock will kill it for good.
