There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

This quote says it all: “Everybody thinks their dog is better than their dog really is,” he said, “and nobody wants to keep their dog on a leash all the time.” Everyone thinks their dog is better than their dog really is...and everyone thinks they have better CONTROL over their dog than they do.

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

The typical tradwife may be “four, five, six babies in,” Levings said, and yoked to a doctrine of constant childbearing and subservience to men. “And oh, by the way, their husbands bought in, and they’re not going to let them out,” she said.

There is nothing new in tonight’s story, and it is written in an unsurprising way coming from The New York Times given its history in this area. It reads to me more like it got a push to let the Trump admin claim a win than it is actual breaking news. I’m not linking; you can find it if you want.

At least six hospitals have struck deals with the Trump administration to stop providing gender-transition treatments to minors.

Do note that the NYT push alert tonight is not six *new* hospitals ending gender-affirming medical care for minors. It is the cumulative six since mid-May, the most recent two of which DOJ announced — and I covered at Law Dork — last Friday.
