Thank you Governor Walz

“We see it now; the hate has shifted to the trans community. They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are,” Walz said. He continued, “We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about. They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

Kind of wild that the Republican Party turned itself into a crime syndicate and then convinced everyone that prosecuting them for their crimes would be partisanship

It's truly hilarious that the Dems' biggest issue this week is that they have so many powerful, beloved leaders that we go late every night with just top-tier names. The RNC was brief, except for Trump's rant. And no former leaders to speak, b/c virtually none support him.

Steve Bannon is in prison for contempt and Rudy Giuliani just lost his N.Y. law license, but John Roberts insists that invisible ink in the Constitution prevents Donald Trump, the ringleader, from facing charges for virtually anything that Trump can claim was an official act.

Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa.

The Supreme Court does not get a gold star for refusing to bless a ludicrous legal theory that anti-abortion judges shamelessly embraced as part of their lawless rampage against women's health care. With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

On Thursday, the Supreme Court did the bare minimum necessary to operate like an actual court of law, unanimously throwing out an absurd and dangerous lawsuit against medication abortion. The justices do not deserve extra credit for refusing to embrace this deeply unserious litigation, and they should earn no gold stars for maintaining the legal status quo on abortion pills. They merely acted as minimally responsible adults in a room of sugared-up preschoolers, shutting down the lower courts’ lawless rampage over all known rules of standing in desperate pursuit of an anti-abortion agenda. It is chilling to the bone that activist lawyers and judges were able to wreak as much havoc as they did before SCOTUS put them in timeout. And this bad joke of a case isn’t even over: A lower court has already teed up a do-over that could once again jeopardize access to reproductive care in all 50 states. Don’t call this decision a victory. It is at best a reprieve

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Florida’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors and many of its restrictions on similar adult care are unconstitutional. More to come at Law Dork. www.lawdork.com

XIV. Conclusion
Gender identity is real. Those whose gender identity does not match their
natal sex often suffer gender dysphoria. The widely accepted standard of care calls
for appropriate evaluation and treatment. For minors, this means evaluation and
treatment by a multidisciplinary team. Proper treatment begins with mental-health
therapy and is followed in appropriate cases by GRH agonists and cross-sex
hormones— referred to in this order as gender-affirming care. Florida has adopted a
statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically
appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional.
The statute and rules restrict the manner in which gender-affirming care can
be provided when not banned. Some of the restrictions are constitutional; others are not.

A silly holiday photo op has a small amount of political value for Sanders, while allowing a sliver of grace and humanity to a man who the justice system failed decades ago does not.
