People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are
“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

“the uninsured rate would soar to 11% this year due to changes contained in the One Big Ugly Bill passed by the Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump in July 2025. That would be a 37% increase from early 2025.”
A new poll out yesterday of over 9,000 representative adults shows the health care uninsured rate soared 37% this year. Nobody in the mainstream media covered it. See: gooznews.substack.com/p/uninsured-...

“It’s so much worse than people realize… we are sitting ducks…” Service members and military families share accounts/photos/videos of being attacked in Trump’s pointless war, as leadership fails them, and hides the truth. (From @MeidasTouch) meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Abdul El-Sayed on JD Vance: "I think America is big enough for all of us. His view of America is small like him. It's about pointing to other people and making the argument that the reason *you* don't have is because of *them.*" El-Sayed came on our pod. It's good: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

At IU they put a police sniper on the student building where I used to have coffee. At Rutgers I arrived one day to work to be turned around and barred from my office because they were moving against the (completely peaceful) student camp outside.
Great piece from @victorerikray.bsky.social and @joshmayer.bsky.social looking at the crackdown on campus activism that doesn't get talked about often enough in discussions of academic freedom. academicfreedomontheline.substack.com/p/what-kille...

My favorite thing about the Kavanaugh Supreme Court is how they write opinions that include stuff like “if you say these magic words you get your way” and then Trump just sticks to those magic words.
Trump: "It's going to be the greatest ballroom and military complex combination ever built!" (Has any ballroom/military complex EVER been built?!)

If media ran photos like this in every article about measles rather than pictures of Cindy Brady with pink dots painted on her skin, maybe vaccine hesitant folks would understand the benefit better.
Bangladesh is battling to contain the world’s worst measles outbreak, a crisis exacerbated by weak data, inadequate outreach and vaccination gaps that experts say offers a warning to other nations about the deadly risk of falling vaccine rates.
