Sick, perverted, pedophile bullshit with the clear yet unstated aim of funneling more young girls to sexual predators.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

This absolute bozo had the nerve to "hey kiddo how's it goin?" me after a year+ of my insanely outraged messages to his staff over his coverup of Matt Gaetz's sex crimes, and more. Yo Dave: Sober up, get off the couch in your fancy office, listen to your fucking voicemails, and do your damn job.

And all of *these* Ohio Republicans are different than Rep. Dave Joyce, who is such a profile in courage that when Congress censured Paul Gosar for a video of him killing Biden, Rep. Joyce bravely voted "present"

There are a lot of Ohio Republicans in the news right now and it can get confusing. I'm here to help.

Bernie Moreno used to sit on the board of Cleveland's MetroHealth public hospital system. This isn't stupidity or ignorance, this is a lazy asshole being a bully.

What a disgrace. Bernie Moreno can go fuck himself. Anthony Fauci has done more to help America on any given Wednesday than Bernie Moreno will ever do in his entire life.

Pretty fucking rich coming from people who couldn't even "stand the pain" of giving 6' of personal space at the grocery store. And who run, every time, on the idea that The Other Guy Is Costing You Money. Then again, hypocrisy never stopped MAGA from MAGAing.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

RFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

Another one of my prominent critics exposed a child molester? That's crazy.

This is the part I'm begging people to pay attention to. Nothing will get passed if folks allow them to keep chipping away at the Black Vote. I know that's not a glamorous statement and we're not considered a priority or exotic enough for a good chunk of America but Black Voters stand in the gap.

@elnoraoldschool.bsky.social · 4w ago

Them being so silent as HALF of the Black community in America is stripped of their right to representation in Red States has been noted. The foundation of votes for what they want to accomplish has been built on the most consistent progressive voting block - the Congressional Black Caucus.

Inside you there are two wolves, because that was a crazy tornado in wolf country.
