The Abbott campaign meltdown has begun. Two social media attacks on Gina Hinojosa in six hours after barely mentioning her before today. New polls drop and suddenly they’ve discovered she exists. Funny how that works.

Log Cabin Republicans looked at everything happening to transgender Americans right now and decided this was the perfect time to announce, “Actually, we’re just LGB now.” I’m sure the GOP cool-kids table will save them a seat. I wrote about it for the Dallas Voice. dallasvoice.com/2-perspectiv...

The RNC’s Dallas graphics look like they asked AI to create “Texas” after feeding it nothing but Yellowstone, a Buc-ee’s billboard and a Trump fever dream. Wait until they get here and discover Dallas is basically restaurants, gay people and Democrats. Oh, and Dallas voted 65% for Kamala Harris.

America has paid little attention to the use of small drones as deadly tools in the Ukraine war—but a swarm of them over an American military installation with nuclear-capable weapons in Barksdale, Louisiana, ought to change that, Brynn Tannehill argues:

America Needs to Get Serious About Drones
The new age of war is already here, swarming over Barksdale Air Force Base.
