It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

I keep thinking about this: Since Trump refuses any transparency on WHOM he would reward for their Jan6 crimes, he is presumptively planning on paying off seditionists like Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes. Maybe @raskin.house.gov should file an update to his motion in this case.

What's really going on here is twofold. First, the anti-trans "reporters" on this issue do not know their own beat. As I've said before, the anti-trans argument is a conspiracy theory. It posits that the medical field is handing out surgeries to kids at the slightest hint of gender nonconformity.

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.
