I'm writing again! First up: how GOP Republicans ****ed up royally by focusing on trans issues, and what that means for Democrats when it comes to not abandoning constituents who overwhelmingly vote Democratic. newrepublic.com/article/2028...
The GOP Went Big on Anti-Trans Ads This Year. And Guess What Happened?
Abigail Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57 percent of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won.

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Nothing in the law allows the president to destroy USAID or withhold funds approved by congress from universities either, but here we are. I don’t want to hear about what he’s allowed to do, I want to hear about how he’ll be stopped from doing it anyway.
The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
