Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Reposted with alt text. I sincerely hope the reaction to this from everyone is “He’s a fucking looney.“ “Are you gonna watch Trump’s ‘address’ on Thursday?“ “I’d rather pound a nail into my skull with a ball peen hammer.“

President Trump receives a personalized racing helmet during a Freedom 250 Grand Prix Showcase at the White House yesterday. Photo: Kylie Cooper/Reuters President Trump's prime-time Thursday speech from the White House is slated to include election integrity, an update on Iran and whatever else he deems important, a senior adviser tells Axios' Marc Caputo. • "It will be a potpourri," the adviser says. Why it matters: Though ever-available to reporters, Trump hasn't given many prime-time, direct-to-camera speeches from the White House. He wants to do more of them, the adviser says. • Zoom in: Trump announced on Truth Social yesterday that he plans to give a "Speech to the Nation" on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. The specifics beyond that - where in the White House and the exact topics - are less certain. But two issues are top of mind for Trump: 1. Resumed hostilities with Iran. "It's changing by the minute, but it's something he wants to address," the adviser says. 2. Election integrity. The president wants to pass the SAVE America Act, a strict voter ID law that's stalled in Congress. And he may present his intelligence officials findings about the 2020 election, which Trump won't admit he lost. Trump's adviser denied online reports that the president plans to discuss Georgia's 2020 Senate elections that were won by two Democrats. • Reality check: You never know what Trump's going to talk about. He just wants to talk. And he wants to do more of it. • "We want to get into the rhythm of doing this," the adviser says. "It's powerful when you give prime-time speeches that give a sense of importance to what he's saying."

Get a load of this. Trump's prime time speech tomorrow will be a "potpourri" of stuff he feels like talking about & he intends to do more prime time speeches going forward. This morning's Axios newsletter:

I feel like I’m going insane, the degree to which politics and yes the media completely made this up. The anti gay marriage panic I got, there were a ton more gay people who wanted to get married, this thing is not a thing

Micah@rincewind.run · 2mo ago

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

In light of today's Supreme Court decision against trans athletes, I'm poking my head in from vacation to re-share my article from last week about the two anti-trans initiatives in WA this November.

Democratic Leaders Launch ‘No Hate in WA State’ Campaign Opposing Anti-Trans Ballot Measures

Last week, a campaign launched against two ballot measures that opponents say would be a blow to the rights of queer kids. The anti-trans measures are bankrolled by conservative multimillionaires, mir...

This is really exciting news for Clarion West! This workshop changed my life for sure, and has been an important part of the Seattle writing and creative community.

I shop at Target as little as I can; they suck. But now they're using sh***y AI at the self-checkouts to falsely accuse people of theft (and having them arrested, natch) so I want to shop at Target even less now. Avoid self-checkout lanes everywhere I guess!

I have yet to encounter any anti-trans argument that does not boil down to “I think it’s icky and I don’t like it.“ That’s an acceptable argument when you’re talking about brussels sprouts, Chad, not people. If you look at a trans person and don’t see the _person_, you’re the damn problem.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Dr. Lisa Corrigan@drlisacorrigan.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.” F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)
