This doctor calls LGBTQ+ rights ‘satanic’. He could now undo healthcare for millions

This doctor calls LGBTQ+ rights ‘satanic’. He could now undo healthcare for millions
A little-known but influential right-wing doctor from Texas, Steven Hotze, has spent years aggressively opposing LGBTQ+ rights—going as far as calling queer people "satanic" and "termites." Now, he’s tied to a Supreme Court case that could strip healthcare protections from millions. His long history of extreme rhetoric and activism raises alarms about how much sway his views might have in shaping national policy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one man’s hateful opinions—it’s about how fringe ideologies can creep into the legal system with real consequences. If Hotze’s influence succeeds in court, it could undo decades of progress on healthcare access for marginalized communities. It’s a stark reminder of how extreme voices, even from the sidelines, can end up affecting everyone.

Latest from U.S News
Trump administration sues four New Jersey cities over sanctuary policies
negativeU.S News
The Trump administration is taking legal action against four New Jersey cities for their so-called "sanctuary" policies, which limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Local leaders are pushing back, arguing these policies protect residents' rights and keep communities safer by encouraging trust between law enforcement and immigrants.
Editor’s Note: This lawsuit is the latest clash in the long-running battle over how local governments handle immigration enforcement. While the administration argues sanctuary policies undermine federal law, cities say they’re a matter of public safety and local autonomy. The outcome could set a precedent for how far the federal government can go in forcing cities to comply with its immigration agenda.
Trump signs order to cut down nuclear power rules and fast-track licenses for new reactors and plants – US politics live
neutralU.S News
President Trump just signed an order to slash regulations on nuclear power, aiming to speed up reactor and plant approvals—cutting the licensing process from years down to 18 months. Meanwhile, Harvard University is suing the administration over its abrupt revocation of the school’s ability to enroll international students, calling the move unconstitutional and politically motivated.
Editor’s Note: The nuclear power push could shake up energy markets and spark debates over safety vs. efficiency, while the Harvard lawsuit highlights the ongoing tension between the administration and higher education over immigration policies. Both moves reflect Trump’s broader agenda: deregulating industries and tightening immigration rules—but with plenty of pushback.
DOJ confirms it has a deal with Boeing to drop prosecution over deadly 737 Max crashes
negativeU.S News
The U.S. Justice Department has struck a tentative deal with Boeing to avoid criminal prosecution over the two deadly 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people. While this resolves a legal headache for Boeing, it’s sparking outrage among some victims' families who feel justice isn’t being served.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another corporate settlement—it’s a high-stakes decision that raises tough questions about accountability. Boeing’s 737 Max crashes were a watershed moment for aviation safety, and letting the company off the hook (even with fines or conditions) sends a signal about how the system handles corporate wrongdoing. Families of victims are left wondering if financial penalties are enough when lives were lost. For the public, it’s a reminder of who holds power when profits and safety collide.
Will gas prices give Trump and Republicans a political boost?
neutralU.S News
With gas prices dipping just in time for Memorial Day travel, Trump and the GOP might catch a break—cheaper fuel often boosts public mood. But don’t pop the champagne yet: lingering inflation and shaky approval ratings mean voters aren’t entirely sold on the economy’s rebound.
Editor’s Note: Gas prices are a quick-and-dirty barometer for how Americans feel about the economy, and a drop could help Republicans in an election year. But if wallets still feel squeezed elsewhere, this win might not move the needle much. It’s a reminder that politics—like pump prices—can be volatile.
Georgia man who fled with the nanny after his wife's killing is charged with murder 19 years later
negativeU.S News
Nearly two decades after his wife was found dead, a Georgia man has finally been charged with her murder. The twist? He disappeared shortly after the killing—taking the family’s live-in nanny with him. Now, after 19 years on the run or under the radar, authorities have caught up with him.
Editor’s Note: Cold cases don’t always stay cold. This story is a stark reminder that justice can take years—or even decades—but breakthroughs still happen. It also raises unsettling questions about how long someone can evade accountability and what finally brings their past crashing back. For true crime followers, it’s a gripping example of how old wounds can resurface.
