Trans children can often be in danger. It’s sounds crazy when FoxNews talks about the government taking children away from their Christian parents. More often than not it’s because trans kids can be in physical danger if they come out to their parents.
A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

Kushner on Ukraine:
“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”
Putin’s brain cell
Every Republican in 2026 election being funded by Elon Musk should be asked if they agree with Musk funding Germany's far right/Nazi inspired AfD party. Do they agree with AfD's whitewashing of Nazis and The Holocaust? Support AfD's pro-Putin views?! I dare corporate media to do their F'ing job!
If we played every controversial and vile thing right-wing figures, with greater influence on the GOP than Piker has on Dems, has said, the reel would last hours.
Why isn’t every Republican being asked to denounce Laura Loomer? Or the daily depravity unleashed by the President himself?
Raskin after Kristen Welker plays him clips of controversial Hasan Piker comments and asks him to react to them: "I think all of that is an irrelevant distraction"
"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents
"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."
The thing is her opponent, Zach Nunn has flip flopped on this issue too. He told me to my face that he supported LGBT equality, he took money from LGBT groups, after elected he completed reversed that position.
Zach Nunn is exactly the same kind of hypocrite. This could force him to talk about it.
before the bans, the requirements for trans women to participate in women's sports leagues was typically about 2 years being on estrogen and anti-androgens. if this transphobic dipshit is committed to the bit, let her do it, she'll become dysphoric after a few months & face transphobia within a year
Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.
Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov
for speaking out against integrating the US and Israeli militaries in the upcoming Pentagon bill - a measure that would reward Israel at a time when they are wrongfully detaining Palestinian American student Sama Safi under abusive conditions.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.
This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.
Every member of Congress must vote NO.
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
No separation of church and state in Missouri.
98% of Missouri school vouchers end up in church coffers…that’s your tax money directly funding religion thanks to the GOP school voucher scheme.
We are a country of laws and people need to be held accountable for their actions. The pay-for-play schemes we see coming from this Administration are egregious and need to be investigated.
Mamdani: "Therein lies the work of America -- a striving, a bettering, the reaching toward perfection. What a privilege each of us has to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What a responsibility each of us possesses to prove ourselves worthy of all those who came before."
NEW from me:
Americans are set to lose nearly $250B gambling this year—a record high, up more than 60% since 2019—and that's before counting unofficial betting via prediction markets or crypto
Can anything stop America's gambling boom? 🧵
Which means most of the kids who wind up being inspected and investigated over this? Probably will be cis—and most likely cis girls who aren't "feminine enough." It's already happening.
Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."
In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.
NYC COMPTROLLER: “Next level. Beyond anything we’ve seen. We’re very worried about the precedent this sets.”
Institutional investors (and regular Americans) are being forced to own billions worth of SpaceX after it was fast-tracked into indexes to make Elon a trillionaire 🤔
🚨 BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that the Trump-Hegseth transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional, finding that the policy appears to be driven by a “bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group” and is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.” 1/3
I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to.
2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials.

A superloser is a leader of a great power, or (onetime) superpower, whose disastrous choices lead to a crash. He possesses a combination of skills that allow for a rise to personal power and the collapse of state power.

This is hypocrisy at its finest.
Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans.
But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.
