The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

People always think I'm being ungenerous or misstating their views, but this is very explicitly what the "gender-critical" crowd says: Their *best case* against gender affirming care for kids is that the research says it works, but the research doesn't count.
(this is from the Cass report)

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans.

the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

This horrific, heartbreaking killing comes at a time of heightened nationwide attacks against trans people led by a federal administration hellbent on erasing trans existence.

Trump got nothing out of his threats to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada that those countries weren't already doing. It's the political equivalent of Arturas Karnisovas having to trade for his own first round draft pick last night.
