Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“Keep Politics The Heck Out Of It”: In Toss-Up MT-01 Race, Dem Sam Forstag Refuses To Throw Trans People Under The Bus
The Democratic candidate accused his republican opponent Aaron Flint supporting people who would “pick our pocket” by distracting voters with anti-transgender attacks.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads:
"Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General.
On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation.
If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office."
At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

That's not what j pilled means, NYT. It's a deeply antisemitic term that means someone is awakened to antisemitic beliefs that Jews secretly run the government and they must be removed from the United States. The NYT is laundering white supremacist terms.
