It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

Dug out my album copy of Pink Floyd’s Meddle and discovered that I bought it used 12/31/81 for$3.18. A few cracks and pops but still sounds great.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

It’s almost like we never collected $9 Trillion in tariff revenue and only increased our National Debt by $1 trillion (in record time) instead.

"We grant the stay because Donald J. Trump will be irreparably harmed if he can't deny people food they desperately need." -John Roberts, probably

Quick update to yesterday's post: I texted Steve Oberman (who organizes the Las Vegas seminar) to make sure he didn't need anything, and now I'm teaching two sessions on opening statements on Saturday! Spoke too soon when I said I wouldn't be teaching at the seminar yesterday! 1/2

I'm celebrating a personal milestone today: I have now spoken at legal conferences put on by state bar organizations and defense attorney groups in 20 states (Thank you Maine Commission on Public Defender Services for having me!). I have always had the public speaking bug. 1/4

Don't really care which side of the aisle you are on. Witnesses are at a Congressional hearing to answer questions, not make speeches or attack the questioner. When they don't, they should be required to answer, or held in contempt. That would happen in about 5 minutes in court.

I always wondered if Ghislaine Maxwell's trial judge excluded or limited any evidence from the Epstein files and, if granted a new trial, releasing them would have given her an argument she couldn't get a fair trial. Now that the Supremes denied her appeal, there's no reason to worry about that.

Indeed, WITAF

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

i’m obviously not a fan of the FBI but it’s pretty wild watching the least competent FBI of all time

@wsj.com needs to hear from ALL of us. Take action now to demand a retraction and apology for its dangerous and misleading coverage: hrc.im/wsj

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Trans people are "a vulnerable minority group that has been widely demonized. Any good journalistic practice would involve nailing down accuracy to avoid making things worse." – @lopatto.bsky.social www.theverge.com/politics/777...

The part about this that really gets me is that AI analyzed the note and found that it was "too sophisticated" for DJT to have written. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Hi: I'm the canceled speaker. It's bad for free speech & sends a dangerous message, too, at a time when Trump has turned the Nat'l Guard into de facto police. It also implies that the military is a wing of presidential, not constitutional defense—

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

What a ridiculous person.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Update: it got funny again

It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all

A lot of call backs from season one

You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either - nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks - concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life literally the only 2 options

📌 Gloria is a shark ! She shall bring , swift justice ⚖️ 🐥

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

who told us about her? her VICTIMS, you disingenuous hack. it takes a lot to gast my flabbers these days but even i can’t believe they’re seriously gonna try this revisionist history shit about a woman who aided and abetted in the rape of children.

😬

EPSTEIN! #EPSTEIN #TRUMPSTEIN

Since the Epstein thing is destroying MAGA, expect Foxnews to find some new trans athlete to be outraged about soon.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

For those LGBTQ people who are unable to spend 4th of July with family due to rejection, please know you are worthy of unconditional love and acceptance.

This is a welcoming account. 🏳️‍🌈

the interesting thing about the Diddy verdict is that House Republicans are about to vote to take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americas

Daily reminder: If RGB retires in 2011 - 78, had survived cancer twice - ACB is not on the Ct. If Obama calls McConnell's bluff, announces the Senate has waived requirement to "advise and consent" by holding no hearings on Garland for 10 months after Scalia's death, Gorsuch isn't on the Ct. 1/2
