The Code of Virginia defines transition-related health care as medically necessary and prevents health insurers from discriminating against transgender people. The SCOTUS ruling today does not change that law we passed with bipartisan support in 2020 (my bill HB 1429). Here’s the actual text:

As anyone who saw the video knows, Senator Padilla didn't lunge at silly Kristi Noem. He "lunged" at the floor--when pushed by the America Gestapo trying to take away his First Amendment rights and his duty to engage in congressional oversight. This administration is full of shameless liars.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Trump deploys U.S. military to the streets of a U.S. city--and threatens to do so elsewhere whenever he wants. And people ask whether he has crossed the Rubicon. Yes, he has. As he's been intending to do for a quite a while. @samsteindc.bsky.social and I discuss. youtu.be/slAY7oxOu-Y?...

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but two people were killed and nine others were injured during a mass shooting in Philadelphia yesterday and it barely even registered as news. In most countries, that would be a massive story. Here in America, it’s just another day.

Prices are rising nationwide and Trump’s gaslighting everyone about why. His tariffs and failed policies are driving costs up. He’s spent $200 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period last year, delivering less to Americans at a greater cost.

I guess I never believed in the deep state, but I sure as hell believe in the anti-administration. No health guidelines. No weather updates. No FBI in DC. Dog killers in charge of immigration. Oryx and Crake is your next dystopian reading assignment.

This is SO IMPORTANT. As society, we haven’t grappled with the significance of the fact that women, POC and LGBTQ people face so much more harassment and abuse online than straight white men do. And it’s dramatically impacting society and democracy.

“RFK Jr. is targeting ultra processed foods” [AP], which is probably for the best. But has anyone at the White House realized why ultra processed foods are popular? It’s because they are shelf stable and cheap. So you’re about to eliminate a major source of affordable food which ought to play well.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."
