Former Prosecutors and Human Rights Leaders Launch The Rule of Law Project ruleoflawproject.org/news/project...

What a disgusting pig.

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

In addition to this being just bleak as fuck from a human perspective, I gotta say, if you’re overwhelmed by the complexity of writing three nice things about your daughter, why should I want your opinion on literally anything important or complex?

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

Turek’s stance is cruel, electorally misguided, and out of step with his own party. Most swing-seat Democrats *have* stood with us, but keeping the trans community’s trust requires Democrats—and, at a minimum, LGBTQ+ organizations—to call this bullshit out.

Josh, you mean to tell me, in the US, in Oct 2026…you couldn’t find ANY BETTER MESSAGE to spend your precious political dollars on…than to punch down on ~7 people, who have done *nothing* to harm you…while there are masked, armed militia out here *kidnapping people off the streets*?? REALLY?

What I wrote about Gavin Newsom a year ago is never more applicable to several Democrats today. I foresaw this coming, and I continue to hold this true.

The 5-year cancer survival rate is up to 70% SIDS deaths have decreased by over 50% 89% decline in tornado deaths All thanks to federal investment in science and OUR tax dollars at work!

Shameful! Josh Turek thinks threatening discrimination will win him votes. He doesn’t know Iowans. Reject Hate

Shame! Josh Turek thinks targeting a very small group of Americans and threatening their rights will win him votes. He doesn’t know Iowans. Reject Hate

Ax ex-cop shot this dad and left him to die at the scene.

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice “weaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

You look at Lacore’s campaign priorities, and anti-trans bs isn’t listed? Who advised her to run this ad? Let’s find out @whipkclark.bsky.social www.nancylacore.com/priorities

@whipkclark.bsky.social You are doing nothing about this?

@whipkclark.bsky.social You need to say something. Your silence is a betrayal.

🙋🏼‍♀️Democrat. Attended the ‘24 Chicago DNC. I’ve served on my county committee. I’m working for a candidate. My core belief as a Dem is that we leave no one behind. I’m outraged by this. Who’s next?https://open.substack.com/pub/erininthemorn/p/dccc-releases-its-first-anti-trans?r=rtcoc&utm_medium=ios

I’m disgusted by the DCCC’s choice to run an anti-trans ad. I’m shocked @whipkclark.bsky.social let this happen. We deserve answers. I support @christopherstreet.bsky.social and will put my money with them, not the Democratic Party.

What is wrong with Kaylie Haberstroh, the campaign manager? Why didn’t she resign over this? She should answer why. @tommalinowski.bsky.social

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

She’s the future.

Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —

Lacore’s campaign manager said they ran the ad because trans girls playing sports are “a big issue”—they know exactly what this language signals. Democrats can win elections without throwing trans people under the bus. The DCCC should pull this ad buy. (3/3)

Where is the line? Trans people deserve to know whether party resources will now fund ads with this language. If DCCC’s involvement leaves trans people feeling abandoned by their own party, that’s a problem that extends far beyond one race. (2/3)

We all know what “protect girls’ sports” means in the 2026 election cycle. DCCC coordinating on an ad using that language is unacceptable, and it gives other campaigns permission to follow. This is an inappropriate use of party resources. (1/3) www.erininthemorning.com/p/dccc-relea...

Hours after the Wall Street Journal published a story questioning Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s claim she “graduated Phi Beta Kappa” from the University of Minnesota, the national honor society said that she is a member.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying. No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.

How do you strengthen a constitutional democracy? Three Steven M. Polan Fellows in Constitutional Law and History share their perspectives.

The director of FEMA is not allowed to do this legally. The director of OMB is not allowed to do this legally. The President of the United States is not allowed to do this legally. They're a gang of criminals, and should suffer the consequences.
