Third way has run more than 40 rounds of research on answering anti-trans attack ads. Lanae erickson’s findings: not responding costs democrats about eight points, and talking about rules tests double digits better than calling trans girls “boys,” which she rightly calls disrespectful.

🏀 Charles Barkley: “I think one of the worst things about Trump, he’s made it popular to be racist. There’s no consequences for being racist now. A lot of people are wearing it with a badge of courage. He never denounces it. Nah, he should denounce it. He’s made it more acceptable to be racist”

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

#SistersInLaw discussed the cruelty of Trump’s policy of sending immigrants to countries where they have no connection. Lower courts said no. Trump got the case to SCOTUS for the 3rd time and this time they allowed 3rd country removals until they rule in the merits. Shame on SCOTUS and Trump.

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.
