7. The wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation sweeping the United States is not rooted in science or public health—it is driven by a well-funded network of religious fundamentalists seeking to impose Christian nationalist ideals on public policy

5. Rep. Click’s latest remarks are part of a well-documented pattern of religiously charged attacks on transgender people. Videos surfaced showing him promoting faith-based conversion therapy to his congregation, claiming he has “counseled” LGBTQ+ individuals and “helped them overcome that before.”

4. Beyond Ohio, Click has convened strategy sessions with lawmakers from other states, advising them on how to advance similar anti-trans bills. A pastor by profession, he has repeatedly insisted his legislative efforts are not religiously motivated.

1. Anti-transgender Republicans often like to hide their religious animosity towards transgender people, arguing they are instead for "science." Rep. Click, the Ohio law's author, let his mask slip yesterday, comparing trans people to "Lucifer." Subscribe to support my journalism.

It’s so weird how women prefer expressing themselves, achieving things & choosing how to live their lives over lobotomies & inebriation 😱 〰️AdminJenn 💁🏼‍♀️
The Idea that 1950s housewives led happy, fulfilled lives is so thoroughly ahistorical it's almost shocking.
By 1952, an estimated 50,000 mostly female patients in the United States and Canada had been lobotomized, and millions of women were prescribed "Mother's little helper"— barbiturates for anxiety and depression.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
