UPDATE: The first batch of *election day votes* has now been counted... and they broke for Ewing.
He still leads 54% to 46%.
That's now a total of 63K votes. (I was wrong in my first post in this thread: 75K ballots were cast in April.)
Looking good for Ewing, but now no updates... for an hour.

The Supreme Court's official position is that Donald Trump not being able to *immediately* discriminate against trans people is an untenable legal emergency, and thousands of servicemembers losing their careers overnight is nothing to be concerned about ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trans...
Whose “Emergencies” Does the Supreme Court Care About?
Trump argued that any delay in his ability to fire transgender servicemembers would inflict “irreparable harm” on democracy. The Court decided he is right.

They could have issued stay re just the accession policy without kicking out existing service members, or they could have stayed the nationwide aspect while still protecting these individuals. But instead they stayed everything.

The upshot of this order is that in the Court's view, Trump's desire to purge the military of trans people ASAP is a more urgent crisis than servicemembers losing their jobs and their careers due to a policy that is *likely unconstitutional*. Unhinged reimagining of the PI standard. Legal gibberish.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.
This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.

Imagine if the NYT covered trans healthcare this way
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

I think they made a major mistake releasing this review. It’s going over like a lead balloon in US media and I think it infects the other reviews like the Cass review and the Florida review - it shows how politicized the “government reviews” are from right wing governments.

I don’t think cis people understand the amount of pressure and coercion trans people face to not come out, to not transition. How swiftly and strictly gender is policed. How something as simple as listening to a song, a line of eyeliner, playing with the wrong toy meets stern correction.

New YouGov/Economist poll out this morning finds Trump is no longer popular on immigration. This was the last issue he had a positive net approval on.
This was very easy to see coming, esp bc individual components of immigration policy are so toxic: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/should-dem...
