The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.

Adolf Hitler was a master of manufacturing public-security crises to advance his authoritarian agenda, Timothy Ryback writes:

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.

Every anti-trans bill is state-sanctioned cruelty — backed by billionaires and bigots trying to stay in power. Trans people are not a threat. They’re a threat to no one. Let them live. Let them thrive.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

The best takeaway from this Emerson poll is that Cuomo IS beatable, and he knows it. Likely the reason he is running on a non-Democrat line as well It's NOT inevitable, folks Like most things you care about, his position on minimum wage depends on what helps him at the time, not NYers

This is the US version of Germany's Enabling Act. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enablin...

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

It bears repeating. If this Republican budget passes the Senate, 13.7 people will lose their health care coverage. This is barbarism.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Well he just did- with Medicaid and medicare www.cnbc.com/2025/05/20/t...

Republicans want to kick 7.6M people off Medicaid to save $625B over 10 years. Universal healthcare with Medicare for All would guarantee everyone healthcare and save $650B every year. Republicans don’t care about healthcare or saving money — they want to harm people.

How strange that the people who voted for the “grab em by the pussy” candidate think habeas corpus means President Trump can grab anyone he wants off the street and do to them whatever he thinks fit.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Bernie: I sat down with andrewschulz and officialflagrant to take a hard look at the current state of our country.

I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story. A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours. We are in this together and there's only one way out.

1. Womens Liberation Front (WoLF), an anti-trans group that works with far-right Christian orgs like the ADF, bragged on social media that it was meeting with over a dozen dems. We investigated and found that it wasn't true. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Elon Musk didn’t buy Twitter to promote free speech, he bought it to spread white supremacist propaganda.

The GOP's education agenda is a Trojan horse for ideological indoctrination. They're using schools as a battleground to shape young minds and suppress critical thinking. #DontDefundPublicSchools

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

1. A landmark study has found major flaws in the Cass Review. Almost two dozen researchers have published their takedown of Cass in the BMC Medical Research Methodology journal. This review was cited over 100 times by the HHS report. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?

NEW: It does matter. Defending the rule of law in the Trump era is essential. Trump cannot ignore constitutional limits on his power — or any court order enforcing those limits. We must keep saying so. Tonight at Law Dork, I make my case:

MAGA is cruelty disguised as strength, nationalism dressed up as patriotism. All to worship a con man who made people feel seen, not with truth, but with resentment. They chose grievance over grace and the rest of us are left trying to explain how it happened to a world that once believed in us.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

With all of this MAHA talk, re-upping our episode from last week, where we speak to @jayapal.house.gov about what could actually improve health outcomes: Medicare for All.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Modi becoming the next Putin has been on everyone's bingo card for years, which is why Trump and Musk have been sucking up to him He's a notorious, ethnic-cleansing autocrat, and while Pakistan is by no means blameless, Modi should have long ago been universally regarded as a threat to world peace

1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect. This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse. I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

NY GOP Rep. Mike Lawler desperately tries to portray himself as a “moderate,” but he’s a fascism enabler — just like all the other feckless Republicans in Congress. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!

There's a reason they didn't release the names of the people who authored the report, they literally aren't even doctors with medical experience. An MIT philosophy professor is one of the authors.

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

Our current healthcare system will cost $50T over the next 10 years. When Fox News and insurance lobbyist-funded politicians say that Medicare for All will cost $32T over 10 years, they're leaving out the part that it's an $18T savings and guarantees all of us high quality healthcare.
