Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

It’s important to remember that after California, Florida has the second largest trans population in the United States. Tens of millions of vulnerable people live in “red states.” Most of them are not able to relocate. Don’t abandon them.
Kelly's got a great point here.
Point and laugh at, say, Vivek Ramaswamy getting pushed out this early. He's fair game.
Do NOT - do NOT! - try hang this on specific states or regions. Lots of people there did NOT vote for this.

If you want to indulge in the sport of cheering on leopards eating faces/schadenfreude/you broke it you bought it, do try to do it in a way that doesn't cause a lot of collateral harm to people who didn't vote for this and are also in harms way.

This should be grounds for account suspension. Jesse has explicitly white knighted for kiwi farms. These are exactly the kinds of people he associates with.
His presence on this site inherently makes it unsafe for trans people.

I need you to understand how grotesque it's been to watch the Smartest People tell the Democratic Party they were just too nice to incarcerated transgender people and in fact it's trans people's fault for asking them
The FL Department of Corrections is attempting to "reverse" the gender identity of transgender people in its custody, referring to trans identities as "short-term delusions" and withholding hormone therapy. Reviving psychiatric theories of the 1950s, they blame trans identities on "childhood trauma"

The attack on trans rights is just the canary in the coal mine.
Also don’t believe that they will stop with gay marriage. Plenty of Christian Nationalists want to go after interracial and interfaith marriages too.

Oh honey, just crack the egg already.
Most people seem focused on the weird psychosexual relationship between Trump and Vance in the image below.
I think it’s important to observe that the United States is portrayed as the meal.
One interpretation could be our country is being fed to the grinning oligarchs seated around the table.
