After targeting trans sports under Title IX for the past 4 years, the Heritage Foundation is now turning to destroying it for all women. It wants to replace women's varsity sports with yoga and "protect women's fertility" by ending many athletic opportunities. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Free expression is a hallmark of the First Amendment. All our rights are in jeopardy when trans peoples’ freedom to exist is undermined.

So maybe trade deals are getting done!!!????

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I know lots of small businesses are online & rely on sales, but I also love seeing an established non-corporate place do something like this. Just got it in an email from the Ten Club, the Pearl Jam fan club. CC & debit transactions make money for banks & CC companies, use cash, shop local!!

Let me guess, it's still Joe's fault that Cheeto Benito signed an agreement to hand Afghanistan back to the Taliban, and is now also stopping the heroic Afghan people that stood up to them for 20+ years from coming to our country, only to die at the hands of the people he handed it back to.

Rest in power Elisa Rae Shupe. The media has barely covered your story but your 🏳️‍⚧️ siblings & our allies will. Elisa was a retired United States Army soldier who in 2016 became the first person in the United States to obtain legal recognition of a non-binary gender. Share her story. 🏳️‍⚧️💔

My thoughts on the whole bathroom thing. I think Representative Elect McBride should hire nothing but transgender men to work in her office and ensure one of their jobs is to follow Rep Mace into the bathroom every single time.

So I deleted my meager Twitter account last year when Elno took over but it was never a huge part of my life. I was on Threads but if felt as dirty as FB, which it turned out to be. So I'm loving it here so far.

You are up to date.
