Spanberger faced a total retread of the trans panic attacks on Harris, using some of the exact same language. She didn't leave those attacks unanswered. Instead, she turned the race into a referendum on discrimination.
"... by focusing on policies that benefit everyone and standing up very deliberately for the most marginalized groups, you can show that you are strong enough to stand up for everyone."
Andrea Pitzer on how both Mamdani and Spanberger showed Democrats how to fight back against the trans panic.

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

You really gotta follow up on an underspecified claim like “we found 186k dead people.”
People die every day, and the government is always going to be some amount behind in working out the administrative consequences, but that doesn’t mean the deceased’s EBT accounts were somehow used for fraud.

Per @jenniferjjacobs.bsky.social, DOD presented Trump with plans for strikes in Venezuela yesterday, including on the ground. Astonishing to see the U.S. on the brink of another regime-change invasion with essentially none of the pre-2003 effort to rationalize it domestically and internationally.
