I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Great statement.

Rep. Dan Goldman @repdangoldman.bsky.social · 20h

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Rays swimming through the surf as they avoid someone fishing at the beach near Clearwater, Florida. Although Cownose Rays are very mellow, they have stingers and can sting you. They would rather avoid people though.

Instead of working to divide us, tell these people - and they're in WM and No. 10 - that you love Schengen and European unity and want to be a part of it.

Even by Andrew Cuomo standards, this is laughably bad.

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 2d

Andrew Cuomo keeps saying he’s the only candidate who can take on Trump once he’s in office.

Yet in his statement about the indictment of Letitia James, the highest-ranking Black elected official in the state, he doesn’t even mention Trump by name….and, more importantly, he doesn’t mention James.

In a democracy, the rule of law must be sacred - impartial, objective, and above politics. When the law is weaponized or manipulated to advance political agendas, it erodes public trust and weakens the very foundation of justice. Whether it comes from the right or the left, from prosecutors or politicians, the politicization of law enforcement is dangerous and corrosive.
We must restore faith in fairness, facts, and due process - because once justice becomes partisan, everyone loses.

Guess BC should demand that Alberta and Saskatchewan not stand in the way as we build some massive wind farms in Canada’s prairies. After all, it‘s the best place to get our wind energy to market.

9. Years of fearmongering have turned trans identity into a political weapon, with pundits and cable news fixtures painting trans people as dangerous or deranged. That rhetoric seeps into homes through television screens and fear-ridden articles and shapes how parents see their children.

8. Family acceptance remains one of the strongest predictors of mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ people. Research consistently shows that those with supportive family members experience significantly lower rates of suicide, depression, and substance abuse.

7. This is not the first survey to ask this question, but it does reveal what seems to be a drop in support from family. The 2022 USTS reported that 35% of trans adults said their extended family members were supportive, significantly higher than the 11% reported in this latest survey.

6. Other members of the LGBTQ+ community report far higher levels of acceptance. A majority of gay and lesbian respondents said their parents and coworkers accept them—just over half in both categories—suggesting social familiarity has translated into comfort that has materialized in the home.
