notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts. Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

An unusual sight: a Massachusetts incumbent who lost. State Rep. Francisco Paulino, a Dem, has lost (big) to Celina Reyes, a progressive challenger backed by left groups. Paulino, who was recently indicted for benefit fraud, has repeatedly opposed Dem bills on abortion access.
