The more I learn about that Turek ad, the angrier I get. Did this mother fucker imply the epstein hearings are "crazy on both sides?" This fucking guy is an aipac puppet. Fitting since.... you know...
Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage.
WTF.
Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth.
Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period.
This is a complete betrayal.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government.
White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did.
We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.
Can we talk about how Elon Musk is threatening a potential US congress into not investigating him? Notice there isn't any proclamation of innocence. He just thinks he is above the law. This warning from Musk is actually a gift to the Democratic Party but we will see if they use it.
Were Trump to use a tactical nuke on Iran, it would allow tacit permission for Putin to use them in Ukraine. Perhaps then, the coming diplomatic talks with Russia and China aren't a reflection of Putin's loss of sanity and panic, but of Trump's. Bibi of course attempts to grab Hegseth's ear himself.
It's far too early to say we held through the storm. But we've held this long, and I am incredibly proud of every single member of my community who refused to return to the closet, go stealth, or become a quisling.
Polls found that voters trust Democrats on transgender issues and rank those issues as not very important to their vote, and that Republican and independent voters were less likely than Democrats to prioritize them.
You know what, I will.
This is what I have been pushing Dems to do both in my reporting and behind the scenes. Go on offense. The saturation of the airwaves with anti-trans ads is a weakness.
Don't throw trans people under the bus.
Capitalize on Republicans throwing themselves under.
The United States has always been a nested empire. That is, in the current moment the outer shell of the international petrol dollar empire is collapsing while at the same time, the inner empire- the American people are ascendant out of their century of humiliation. Weird dynamics I know.
Some day all these little sparks will become an inferno. A poem to freedom written in the night, does not wither in obscurity. It is written on our faces in the silent grocery aisles, in our meeting eyes with strangers, it is scribbled on the walls and sidewalk. When it comes, find me at your door.
I know none of the dipshits are on Bluesky, but guys- you have to be a mouth breathing dipshits who knows nothing of science to be impressed by that "flying car" video from Musk. That car had no seats, engine, or gas in it- IF and a big IF that video was even real life and not AI.
Ever notice these police/ice/dhs guys with guns in nearly every room in our society want to be called heroes and be paid for it, yet very seldom do anything remotely heroic?
Democratic Politicians, the fascists seem to be making a move towards Ilhan Omar to see what we risk for somebody they think they can bully. Governors and congress must hold firm that this is completely unacceptable. They are trying to provoke a constitutional crisis before midterms. Stand firm.
My question to conservatives is, what would you say to the guys on flight 93 about the no cause raid on Ilhan Omar this morning? They raided that cockpit for our way of life, and these dhs goons just soil all of that to protect global pedophiles and human traffickers. #istandwithilhan
#Ukraine just destroyed several Russian data centers resulting in a large drop in hate filled, racist, MAGA troll bots. Elon lost thousands of “followers” at The Bad Place, Trump is openly furious with Zelensky, and social media is suddenly far less toxic.
This isn’t over. #VOTE
So where is Bush Jr? Because did he envision #dhs rummaging through a congress person's house with a no cause warrant? I thought we fought Saddam and Al Qaeda for our freedoms?
Jeffries 'statement ' isn't enough support for you after this political stunt attempt to terrorize you! We need democratic leaders on all news stations condemning this act and looking aggressively into legal repercussions for those involved!
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
I worry the democratic party at large will not react with the vigor the moment demands. I hope I am wrong. #Istandwithilhan . A simple test- what would Lincoln do? What would Eisenhower do? This current crop wants to become millionaires off our tax dollars and then whine to us.
Thank you to Rep Ilhan Omar for being ten thousand times the patriot that these dhs thugs are. And to the DHS sheep fuckers, pedophiles all over Greater Saint James thank you for your protection.
The situation in America right now kind of resembles the French wars of Religions. We have Americans knowingly taking foreign payments and justifying it with dubious religious assertions. So make Americans realize Putin is the enemy- not whatever culture war bullshit they think.
the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾
Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus.
The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy.
