1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
Screenshot of two tweets from Matt Walsh’s verified Twitter account (@MattWalshBlog).

First tweet (17 hours ago): “It’s time to have a national conversation about common sense restrictions on transgenders.” The tweet has 1.3K comments, 3.8K retweets, 42K likes, and 1M views.

Second tweet (18 hours ago): “It wasn’t all that long ago that anyone who identified as the opposite sex would be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. Does anyone at this point seriously think that our current approach is an improvement?” The tweet has 666 comments, 1.9K retweets, 21K likes, and 362K views.First tweet is by Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles), reposted by Christopher F. Rufo. It reads: “For the good of society and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this delusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely—the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” The tweet has 816 comments, 2.4K retweets, 17K likes, and 379K views.

Second tweet is by Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo), 20 hours ago: “The trans cult hatched such an enormous propaganda campaign, that, for a number of years, they were able to obscure an obvious truth: pumping kids full of synthetic hormones, while telling them they can change from boy to girl, will only end in tragedy or disaster.” The tweet has 878 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.2K likes, and 120K views.

Third tweet is also by Christopher F. Rufo, 20 hours ago: “We should now put to rest the libertarian delusion that transgenderism is a matter of ‘personal choice,’ or ‘live and let live.’ It’s an ideology that has done grave damage to millions of Americans, and has unleashed a nihilistic wave of violence on our society. Enough.” The tweet has 921 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.6K likes, and 293K views.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations. The tweet shows it was last edited at 1:11 PM and has 5,049 views.

9. This marks a dangerous escalation in the admin's campaign to erase trans people from public life. When combined with other restrictions for trans federal employees, it sends a clear message to trans employees: choose your livelihood, or choose your identity—but you can no longer have both.

Cable news was the most profitable portion of this entire portfolio. The whole reason Comcast spun off msnbc and CNBC was to insulate Comcast from retribution from the Trump administration while strangling progressive cable news. This will fail and that will be mission accomplished.

Elon Musk retweeted a post saying that women were "built to be traded" like property.
A repost by Elon Musk shows a tweet from Dr. Insensitive Jerk (@DrInsensitive). The tweet expresses controversial and inflammatory views about women and Western culture. It claims that women are built to be traded or captured and integrate into new cultures for safety, referring to them as "physically weak." It argues that women conform to and amplify the dominant culture and suggests that Western women are now promoting an "anti-white culture," despite being white themselves. The tweet concludes by implying that white men should remind women of their identity to avoid harsher consequences.

Below this, a smaller embedded tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) replies to another user, stating: "They’ve been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media."
