Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it.
Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago.
Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.

The sickening way McBride is treated in congress never ends.
At some point, you have to just stop taking it. I don't know where that point is for McBride, I know where it was for my own wife, you have to hit back.
At least in this case, a fellow Dem did afterwards and said "Mr. Speaker" in return.

Rep. Mary Miller introduces Rep. Sarah McBride as “The Gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride.”
Performative cruelty.
