Disgusting

I was in the room for the LGBTQ-inclusive ALL ARE NEIGHBORS event with an overflowing, standing room only crowd. It was so deeply inspiring!

Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."

For those who keep count of such things. So much turnover in senior ranks would be taken in any administration as a sign of severe crisis and dysfunction.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

Look sugaring is sex work. Full stop. if that’s what she wants to do, I have zero issues. But… you can’t do sex work AND be a high ranking government official.

Also sex work 101, never use the same photos on your SW profiles as your civvie profiles. Amateur hour

How common is election fraud? Not common at all. Despite a much-publicized example of election fraud leading to a criminal case in Bridgeport, examples of fraud remain very rare.

Actual fraud is rare.
Fictional fraud is everywhere.

U.S. Navy Secretary John Phelan leaving Trump administration: Pentagon Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is leaving the Trump administration "effective immediately," a spokesman for the Department of Defense said.

NEW AND WOW: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is leaving the Trump administration “effective immediately.” Trump looking for scapegoats for losing the Iran War? Wonder if Pete Hegseth replaces him with his bigoted "Pastor"?! www.cnbc.com/2026/04/22/n...

holy shit this is a helluva ad. this is what i want to see more of from the democrats.

A mom asked the NYT publisher about harm from trans coverage. He defended the process instead The question came during the company’s earnings call, where a parent pressed leadership on the real-world impact of its journalism.

SCOOP: NYT publisher A.G. Sulzberger dismissed the concerns of a mother of a trans teen on an earnings call today, saying that when reading the paper one “couldn’t read any of that and think that The New York Times is anti-trans."

Um, she’s telling you differently.

The only danger to children is him and the administration he represents

they're calling it the most predictable trump tweet

I think trans people should thrive and be happy. I don't think that's a radical concept at all. Any other position is strange and mean.

WaPo has lost all credibility

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.

Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.

Yet only one is considered a "power grab."

Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering.

Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.

The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.

No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

U.S. border protection officer charged with assault after southern Colorado ICE protest A federal agent is facing assault and criminal mischief charges in southern Colorado after he pushed a woman to the ground and took her phone during a protest outside a Durango ICE facility in October...

Durango, CO, prosecutors have charged an DHS agent with criminal assault and mischief for pushing a peaceful protestor to the ground and then stealing her phone. Say the prosecutors, it's an open-and-shut case and it's all on tape. www.denverpost.com/2026/04/21/b...

Top Trump Terror Official Exposed on ‘Sugar Daddy’ Site A complaint filed with the DHS inspector general’s office accuses the 29-year-old of seeking out older men to fund her luxury lifestyle.

A DHS deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism has been accused of picking up men on a sugar daddy website.

The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

I doubt they see it

Priceless post from the official White House social media

Texas Baptists reconsidering relationship with Baylor over LGBTQ+ event The group once governed Baylor University, but has seen its influence wane.

as an event featuring LGBTQ+ Christians prepares to counterprogram a Turning Point USA event on Baylor University's campus tonight, the Baptist General Convention of Texas says it's reconsidering and will "study" its relationship with Baylor: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Hard-right exploitation of detransition narratives flourishes at event, online Detransition narratives were pushed by anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Genspect at a recent "Detrans Awareness Day" lobbying event in Washington, D.C.

I have been proud to work with the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2003 in their efforts to counter anti-trans narratives in academia and media. Check out their latest piece on the “ex-transgender” movement.

I'm not surprised Brianna is this miserable when she views being trans as this horrible thing filled with suffering.

Being trans has undoubtedly made my life harder but it's also been a blessing. But that's not unique to being trans. So many things in life are like that.

​Screenshot of an online opinion article from The Washington Post by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss," with the subheadline, "The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
