EMERGENCY POWERS. What if Trump decides to declare a National Emergency? “There is a vast set of laws, an entire parallel legal regime, that becomes available to the president when he declares an emergency. Some of these laws and the powers they give the president are perfectly sensible, but some of them are more like the stuff of authoritarian regimes. We’re talking about powers to shut down wire communications, to freeze Americans’ bank accounts, to deploy the military to act as a domestic police force and more. This is some very frightening stuff.”
JEFF SESSIONS. Done with politics? “No. I mean, no,” the 71-year-old former senator said when asked whether he misses the chamber in which he served for two decades. “I could go back and spend time in the woods. I’ve got 10 grandchildren, oldest is 11.”

TRUMP 2020. Ditching Mike Pence? ‘On Monday, Trump hosted a 2020 strategy meeting with a group of advisers. Among the topics discussed was whether Mike Pence should remain on the ticket, given the hurricane-force political headwinds Trump will face, as demonstrated by the midterms, a source briefed on the session told me. “They’re beginning to think about whether Mike Pence should be running again,” the source said, adding that the advisers presented Trump with new polling that shows Pence doesn’t expand Trump’s coalition.’
TED MALLOCH. Trump aide’s appearances on RT Russian television are new focus for Mueller. ‘Malloch disclosed that he was questioned about RT to his friend Jerome Corsi, a rightwing author who is himself a target of the investigation. “They thought maybe he was coordinating with Russia – and RT is Russia,” Corsi told the Guardian. Malloch denies any coordination.
INTO. Grindr publication Into apologizes for writer’s ridiculous Ariana Grande “Thank U, Next” takedown: ‘Users tore apart the pseudointellectual analysis, which claimed the music video was guilty of “transmisogyny, heterosexual pride, and blackface” without offering evidence. One bizarre argument in the essay is that the pop song — which makes playful references to popular films like Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30, and Bring It On — is guilty of transphobia, allegedly because an appearance by Kris Jenner is an intended insult to her ex-spouse, Caitlyn Jenner.’
PAUL MCCARTNEY. The music legend has been frequenting Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming in NYC’s East Village. “Sir Paul seems to be becoming a regular…He and his friends drank quietly during our party, Haus of Cumming.”
GREECE. Four policemen charged in death of gay activist Zak Kostopoulos to appear in court: “The policemen have all denied the charge, claiming they never beat Kostopoulos and that they were only performing their duty to detain what they were told at the time was a robber wielding a sharp object. Two coroners called in to investigate the circumstances that led to the 33-year-old’s death have ruled that he suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of the brutal beating.”

HRC’s Sula Malina Co-Authors Journal Article About the Basics for Non-Binary-Inclusive Health Care
HRC Children, Youth and Families Program Coordinator Sula Malina and staff at the National LGBT Health Education Center authored an important new resource for health care providers who work with non-binary patients. The article, “Communicating With Patients Who Have Non-binary Gender Identities,” published in the Annals of Family Medicine, details best practices for communicating with patients who identify as non-binary.
“I became committed to this work after leaving a doctor’s office in tears, worried that few providers out there would understand how to address my body and identity,” said Malina, who identifies as non-binary. “I realized that this experience is by no means unique to non-binary people — particularly those like myself who benefit from white privilege and reliable access to healthcare.”
All patients, Malina said, and especially those living at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, deserve access to providers who practice cultural humility. “If providers approach these conversations with respect, a willingness to learn, and the understanding that patients know their own bodies best, they can earn critical trust among populations too often overlooked,” they said.
Using an example of a young, non-binary patient, the article addresses concerns that can arise in a medical setting, ranging from terminology to the best methods for apologizing after making a mistake. As the authors note, “As an underserved population at disproportionate risk for discrimination, victimization and suicidal ideation, non-binary people are especially in need of health care clinicians who affirm their gender identities.” The piece also incorporates a brief glossary explaining specific non-binary gender identities and a table displaying the proper use of nonbinary pronouns.
HRC Foundation and the University of Connecticut’s 2017 survey of more than 12,000 LGBTQ youth revealed sobering statistics around the experiences of more than 5,600 gender-expansive respondents. Despite a high risk of negative health and mental health outcomes, only seven percent of non-binary youth surveyed are out to all of their doctors and health care providers with respect to their gender identity and/or sexual orientation, indicating that they are likely not receiving the best care possible. Given low acceptance rates among family and educators noted in HRC’s 2018 Gender-Expansive Youth Report, and high risk of physical and verbal harassment or assault, access to affirming care is absolutely critical for non-binary people of all ages.
HRC Foundation’s Health and Aging Program is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of LGBTQ people. Learn more about the Health and Aging Program’s initiatives, such as the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) here.

Matt Bomer Spills Tea and Adam Rippon Brews Coffee in ‘Will & Grace’ Preview Clip: WATCH
Matt Bomer’s upcoming appearance on Will & Grace is teased in a new preview clip which also features Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon as a barista.
Earlier this year we learned that Bomer would play a smooth-talking, self-satisfied TV news anchor who dates Will and this scene appears to be the seed of that relationship, as Bomer flirtatiously calls Will out for being Jack’s “delightful shallow friend.”
Adds Bomer: “I have a similar dynamic with a buddy of mine. I’d say who it is but out of respect for his privacy I’m not going to.”
“Well we would never ask,” Jack interrupts.
“It’s Andy Cohen,” spits Bomer.
It’s unclear how Rippon’s character fits in although earlier reports were that he would be making a cameo as himself..
