I felt compelled to rewatch Promising Young Woman, the masterpiece from writer/director Emerald Fennell, due to the non-stop Cornell buzz. The film does not disappoint. If you have not yet watched, please do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i5k...

Trump and far-right extremists are coming after birth control. And I'm not just fighting back—I'm pushing FORWARD with legislation that would require insurance to cover ALL FDA-approved forms of contraception. No fees. No hurdles. No out-of-pocket costs.

An ICE agent charged with shooting a man in Minneapolis after lying about it was released from a Texas jail. It's clear that the Trump Administration and DHS lie, act with impunity, reject checks and balances, and ignore Congress and the Courts.

Polling in general is broken. Not only are results unreliable and sensitive to the pollster's political biases, but the ever increasing frequency and scope of polling pushes politicians to act like weather vanes rather than leaders, as if the US were a direct rather than representative democracy.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Slate The reigning political culture celebrates armed self-defense as a right, but the arrest of Wyoming's Ríhanna Kelver -- who neither initiated the incident nor fired her weapon -- fits a long and troubling history of punishing trans ppl for acts of survival.

Do Trans People Have “Stand Your Ground” Rights? Wyoming’s Answer May Be “No.”

Albany County Circuit Court Judge Robert Sanford agreed with the prosecutor that there was probable cause that Kelver committed assault.

“CBS News reports that Pirro actually carried a box of evidence to the White House showing that the facts simply didn’t support those prosecutions. The meeting got “heated,” per CBS, seemingly meaning Trump wanted prosecutions in spite of what the facts and the law dictated.”

The Trump regime publicly promised it wouldn't go forward with its $1.8B slush fund to reward Trump's treasonous co-conspirators. But it won't put that pledge in writing for a judge. The regime knows perjury is a felony, but it thinks lying to the public is just good politics.
