This is classic whataboutism -- the MAGA GOP extremists attack trans children, their families and caregivers when GOP anti-science policies and conspiracy theories used to placate their voters are actually going to hurt many more children. Thank you @hrc.org and @mcbride.house.gov for speaking out!
Rather than protecting public health, anti-equality politicians in Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services are obsessed with attacking trans youth.
We need leaders who solve problems, not scapegoat innocent children.

It's always the most obsessed anti trans people who get caught with CSAM.
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.
Our latest wild story.

Anti-Trans Alaskan State Medical Board Doctor Charged With CSAM, Home Goes Up In Flames
Last week Dr. Ryan McDonough was arrested on ten counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. Over the weekend, his family home went up in flames.

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

American Dilemma, by @knecessary.bsky.social
It’s hard to fathom that we have a federal government that’s hell bent on both making people hungry and exploding their health costs, but that’s exactly where we are:

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Families across the country are fighting to afford healthcare and groceries. The President has made it loud and clear: he serves billionaires and himself, not working Americans.

Firing the Commissioner of Labor Statistics for reporting honest job data is meant to scare those who provide transparency to the American people and will make our economic statistics less reliable.
The truth is these sad job numbers are the result of Trump’s own policies.

BREAKING: Trump says he has told his team to fire the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
This announcement comes after worse than expected jobs numbers in July, and a downward revision of -258,000 jobs for the May and June jobs reports.

Pay attention, Dems!
Congrats to Zohran Mamdani. Important lessons.
Focus on shifting economic power. Relentlessly. Have big ideas on how to do it.
Be joyful and authentic. Even if your ideas aren't considered "mainstream" by elites. The elites have little idea what's actually mainstream.
