Said a day after a white supremacist sought to kill people at a Hindu temple. Not a word about the anti-Indian rhetoric within his own party that has put South Asians and his own family members in danger. Instead continues to play footsie with people who see non-white citizens as guests, at best.

Infographic about Annie Andrews' recent transphobic heel turn. 

Header: A Story in Three Parts

1. Lindsey Graham's sister attacks Dem Opponent, Annie Andrews, over trans issues.

2. Democrat Annie Andrews panics, throws trans people under the bus.

To the right of #2 is a screenshot of Annie Andrews' ad, which has her on screen with the text "No Men in Women's Sports".

3. Conservatives respond with Annie's old pro-trans tweets and call her a fraud, while Annie's own supporters feel betrayed.

To the left of #3 is a screenshot of her tweet, which says "This is shameful legislation that does nothing to protect or support women or children in SC. In fact, it is actively harmful. I will always support trans youth. 🏳️‍⚧️"

The Trump administration has delayed a final decision on Endangered Species Act protections for monarch butterflies, with a new deadline of June 6, 2030. Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
