Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a preemptive lawsuit against Trump — seeking to block the administration from acting against Minnesota in the way it's taking on Maine under a federal push to ban transgender athletes from girls and women's sports.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art.
They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding.
It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.
