Decision Desk HQ is the first to call a race, saying Abigail Spanberger wins.

The anti-trans attacks seem to have failed in Virginia.

Virginia was the ground zero after Youngkin won on a fledgeling anti-trans platform in 2021.

Chicago keeping art alive:

The whole Maxwell interview feels staged, especially with how aggressively it’s being pushed. Something doesn’t add up, if Clinton and Trump are supposedly innocent and no list exists, then why not release the full unredacted files?

The Trump administration released a long-delayed, drastically scaled-back version of the State Department’s annual human rights report. Shrinking it to just one-tenth the length of last year’s. Entire sections on abuses against women and LGBTQ people are gone, replaced by a narrower focus on

A win! A federal judge has just blocked part of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that aimed to restrict Medicaid funding. Judge Indira Talwani, ruling from the District of Massachusetts, ordered the Trump administration to continue Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood health centers.

Posted in the State Department. The resistance always grows. Tomorrow there will be more of us.

A DOGE staffer has assumed control over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an agency traditionally independent from direct White House authority. Adam Blake, now serving as the DOGE-appointed lead at the NRC, has been tasked with carrying out directives from Trump.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday.

This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

Everyone who follows me should call their Senator this morning to urge them to vote in favor of Wyden’s point of order and remove the Medicaid funding ban for transgender care from Trump’s horror bill.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Reported FBI Probe Targets Trans-Affirming Care Providers—For Procedure They Don’t Do Unconfirmed reports of an FBI probe in pediatric hospitals serving trans youth leaves parents, doctors and transgender youth in a suspended state of terror. That’s by design.

1. Children's Hospitals are reportedly under investigation by the FBI for gender affirming care, which is not illegal.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.

Help us cause some good trouble by doing a virtual Facebook “check-in” at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport today.

The more people who check in, the harder it is for surveillance tools to track who’s actually there. It’s a simple but powerful way to show up and support from a distance.

Morning! Just a reminder: today’s peaceful protest to stop “Alligator Alcatraz” is happening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (54575 Tamiami Trail).

Just a little baby having a snack 🐮

The Supreme Court just made a major decision that limits how much power federal judges have to block harmful government policies.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.
