Wake up Arizona Democrats. @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social are selling you out.
1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.
It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

26 Senate Democrats Help Pass Military NDAA Containing Trans Sports, Surgery Ban, No Protection For US Troop Deployments
The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

🏳️⚧️ WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN! 🏳️⚧️ CHLA reversed its decision to pause initiating hormonal therapy for transgender youth. Gender affirming care is lifesaving care. We must continue to fight back, stay organized, and to demand institutions not give into Trumps fascist executive orders.

Gender-affirming care is life saving. Trans youth's health care decisions shouldn't be in the hands of politicians intent on restricting their freedom for political gain.
I'm leading a coalition of state AGs to support @pflag.org and call on the court to protect our young people from this cruelty.

If it were not for Jim Crow voter suppression tactics, Kamala Harris would have had 3.5 million more votes and would have won the presidency. Trump doesn’t have a mandate, there was no landslide — so what do we do now?
