From this day on may this lovely woman be referred to by her she/her pronouns. May she get the gender affirming care she needs to be eligible. May she have access to her bottom surgery without hesitation. Let’s start a go fund me today.

Royce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"

Didn’t we all know that Collins and Myrkowski announce they were no votes that Blanche was already a lock? These ladies never take a stand unless it’s already safe.

Cassidy: "I will vote for Mr Blanche. I will be criticized for this vote. What's new?"

What if we treated senators (ahem Mitch) like teachers. They get 12 sick days. They have to call them in and they have to get a substitute. If they run out of sick days, and they haven’t contributed to the sick bank, their pay gets docked. The had to provide lesson plans for absences.

Votes begin at conception.

Alito's argument – that counting ballots after Election Day means "the electorate’s choice does not occur on election day, and the federal election-day statutes are violated" – is some of the dumbest reasoning I have ever seen. The "choice" doesn't occur at the time of counting!

If anyone is still wondering if this a-hole is ever gonna leave office, the stalling of the letter removal at the Kennedy Center is all we need to know. They don’t think laws apply to them.

Does anyone remember trump’s big announcement about 50 boys and 50 girls, one from each state, would compete in some undefined athletic contest? Wasn’t that a year ago? One more thing that just disappeared without any attention?

There is no different way. There is a wrong way. This is appalling.

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

Xavier Becerra addresses single-payer healthcare in California in a way I can appreciate. He talks about the logistics of making it happen. He says it won’t be easy, but it can be done. I respect that. Too many politicians make it sound easy, then drop it once they’re elected. Becerra gets it.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

So after every school shooting, we get crickets. But one protester had a gun that he didn’t use and made ICE Monsters look bad, so now guns are a problem.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Say. It. Louder.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

It’s almost like he doesn’t know how insurance works? 🤦

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Honest question here: why would we want to have a ballroom that holds 999 people. Do we ever want that many people at that site for entertainment? Seems like a security nightmare.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Scalise on Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House: "Adding a ballroom -- that's gonna be a grand place that only maybe for maybe two years he gets to enjoy, but every president after President Trump will be able to enjoy. And paid for privately."

When I call Sen. Schiff’s office I can leave a voice mail. When I can Sen. Padilla’s I get a message saying his office is closed and his business hours are when most of us work. Senator, set up you voicemail!!!! Also, both of you, please fight hard.
