I’ve never been a west coast (USA) person. I am a Virginian through and through. My family (mom’s and dad’s sides) goes back 400 years in Virginia.
But I like California politics. I like many of the laws they pass. So if Virginia politically turns into an east coast California, that would be fine by me.

"CDC Website No Longer Rejects Autism-Vaccine Link."
https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/washington-watch/118619
"The #CDC changed its website on Wednesday to suggest there may be a link between #vaccines and #autism. The site previously stated that studies have shown 'there is no link between receiving vaccines and developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD),' and that 'no links have been found between any vaccine ingredients and ASD.' The new page also states that 'studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.' The updated page does not cite any new research."

A proposed regulation would have denied disability benefits to at least 830,000 older blue-collar workers.
But after reporting from ProPublica and others, the Trump administration has killed the plan.

"Scientists had to change more than 700 grant titles to receive NIH funding. Health disparities researchers fear what’s next."
https://www.statnews.com/2025/10/29/nih-banned-words-analysis-grant-title-changes/
( #paywalled)
"McKay’s is one of more than 700 multiyear grants that changed their titles from 2024 to 2025, according to an analysis of NIH Reporter data by Jeremy Berg, who previously led one of the NIH’s institutes and has been a vocal critic of the administration’s moves at the agency…The vast majority [of these changes] were to remove words and phrases that have become anathema to the administration. Nearly 100 grants have removed “equity” from their title, dozens removed references to “disparities,” and many others removed references to specific racial groups and gender minorities."

“There’s certainly no Trumpism without Trump, but MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party.”
Anthropologist Alex Hinton says that’s why the Epstein files matter so much to MAGA — they sit at the intersection of anti-elite conspiracy theories, Christian morality politics and deep loyalty to Trump.

Apparently there are still some judges, Republican-appointed ones even, who object to both absolute incompetence and naked corruption. Who knew.

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.
Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.
