Iowans are NOT backing down today. We will continue fighting for trans rights & demand our legislators stop with their discrimination bill. SF 418 is being debated in the Iowa Senate now, you can follow live here: www.legis.iowa.gov/dashboard?vi...

I have friends at the protest. The removal of gender from the civil rights bill of Iowa would be a tragedy and another step towards the genocide of trans bodies. Fight like hell, folks. Fight like hell.

It's very frustrating to me that "savvy" political coverage does not include the savviness required to point out that the lifelong misogynist who lies all the time might not have been serious about delivering on this proposal.

We’ve received too many reports about GOP voicemails being full for this to be a coincidence. If your Republican representative is avoiding you, show up to one of their local offices. You can also send an email to make it clear you don’t want to pay the price for the GOP’s billionaire tax breaks.

Yesterday we delivered our post-its to French Hill about NIH budget cuts. His staff didn’t know anything about a town hall on his schedule and he didn’t seem to be around. So, Mr Hill, could you provide to your constituents by the end of the week five bulleted accomplishments for your visit home?

hard not to feel intensely irritated at people like this but on the other hand a big chunk of people, probably most, are just never going to become politics obsessives. even basic political literacy requires a healthy information environment www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How much does it cost to feed a child with SNAP benefits? $6 per day.  How much does the GOP Budget give away to the rich? $6 million — per billionaire.  The American people won’t forget the GOP's betrayal.

“It’s an entirely different political matter when you’re actually considering legislation that is going to negatively impact your constituents’ health care, your constituents’ schools, your constituents’ families. You’re playing with fire there.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social on tonight’s GOP budget vote

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist

One thing I'd add to that segment: we tracked GOP town halls all over the country last week. We counted only 8! So 95% of GOP members are hiding from their constituents. If we're going to pressure them publicly, local groups are going to have to get creative. Stay tuned for more on that front soon!

I had a landlady several years ago who went camping with a group that included Eln Msk every other-ish summer. I really want to know what she thinks about him now because I remember her going on and on about how badly she wanted to sleep with him.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

I’m going to again post my stance on Trump and fascism from my campaign site. A lot of local Dems seemed spooked by this kind of talk, told me to “fight the far right as a private citizen and don’t attract attention to us.” But how much better would Dems be polling if they were talking this way?

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Exactly. The root here isn't that bigots have some philosophical concern which compels them to care about what appears on someone else's government ID. Rather, the purpose is practical and malicious: to force trans people to disclose it—and, often, to explain it—every time they show ID.

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations. And who does not: working families.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

The parts where it says "drastically lowering chronic disease rates" and "reversing chronic disease". On the face of it this sounds good, except when you look at all the other things this administration is doing to decimate every single apparatus this would require. At that point it's a threat.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
