For those asking about sentencing, the 1505 charge carries a 5-year maximum, but Judge Dugan's guideline sentence will be much lower, because she's a first-time offender & there are mitigating factors. And of course, there will be an appeal before the conviction becomes final.

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No.
Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality.
Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

I’m rewatching Mad About You & theres a joke where Ursula the ditzy waitress mistakes a recurring character for a post-op trans woman and immediately talks about how great she looks now, then deadnames her as part of a running joke at Ursula’s expense. In 1995. The great trans scare is manufactured.

“Trump’s legally dubious tariffs have harvested hundreds of billions of $ from American companies and customers, despite the president’s claims that foreign countries are paying them. Now some companies want that money back.”
Of course Trump’s tariffs are illegal. They’re also economically moronic.

Costco’s lawsuit stands out not only because of the size of the company involved, but because it illustrates how tariffs actually work—and exposes the Trump administration’s lies about them.
