Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Hemp regulation is a genuine issue but overnight obliteration is ludicrously bad policy. Whole lot of hemp and hemp-associated businesses will go under, this criminalizes basically every delta-8/9 product with enough in it to have a psychoactive effect.
(Those 24 Senators voted the right way.)

The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

In a world where the incumbent president bowed to pressure and stepped aside, it doesn’t seem like such a monumental ask to switch minority leaders.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

(the polity does not remember what happened 2 weeks ago. this is why you had VA GOP winning 2021 the same year the GOP attempted a insurrection)
If the polity cannot remember what happened two weeks ago, every two weeks, then they deserve to have the Republic fall
OK, well, that's not going to happen. Most people are going to forget about this in a few weeks and move on to the next thing, in the same way that the GOP base has hated Mitch McConnell for a decade but never actually hurt him.

No mainstream media figure is ever going to acknowledge what’s happening publicly, not because of fear of reprisal but bc when you dig deep enough you’ll have to also acknowledge who all your friends actually are

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

A cautionary tale in being a woman who appeals to a conservative audience: While MAGA has co-opted Sydney Sweeney as their new star, her latest film debuted in the top ten worst box office openings and the same MAGA crowd brutally attacked her appearance in 2024 while she was training for the role

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population.
