VERY IMPORTANT EMAIL FROM OUR EDITORIAL TEAM:
"Health 👏 care 👏 is 👏 two 👏 words. Yes, even when you’re using it as a modifier (e.g., “health care coverage”). Even when spellcheck tells you it’s one word. They’re lying. It’s two."
Today, @GQRResearch, along with @HRC, released polling that showed what was crystal clear last week: Anti-Trans Ads flopped. Read more:
Voters quite frankly are sick of hearing about trans athletes and surgeries. 62% of voters wanted to hear more about inflation and cost of living. 65% of voters wanted to hear LESS about trans sports and surgeries.
Read the full polling memo here: hrc-prod-requests.s3-us-west…
TL;DR: Voters punished Republicans for their failed anti-trans strategy.

“…when it comes to protecting and uplifting LGBTQ people and codifying the basic humanity of trans people, however hard it may seem right now, we will change that.”
— Congressman-elect Scott Wiener
Scott Wiener's path from closeted New Jersey teen to LGBTQ+ trailblazer mirrors a generation of struggle — and halting progress — in San Francisco politics.

To all the people texting me asking if this is a real quote:
Yep.

In its never-ending quest to target, bully, provoke violence against, and eliminate trans people, the regime is now funding a study to try to show that trans people are somehow more violent than other people. It’s absolutely vile and shows yet again that DOJ is a broken agency more focused on targeting people than actually upholding the rule of law.
Trans people are horrifically targeted with violence. They’re profoundly more likely to be victimized than to victimize.
We must stand up for trans people — their civil rights, their ability to lead full lives, their basic humanity — and this will be a priority for me in Congress.

Interesting: In 2004, when voters in 13 states passed bans on gay marriage, just 29% voted against them. In 2026, when seven states voted on anti-trans policies, 46% of voters rejected them.

This is why Republicans lost every statewide office and the State House in Georgia. I’m trying to lower your bills and you guys are asking me where I’m going to pee.

The country is a better place without an anti-equality zealot like Harmeet Dhillon leading DOJ's Civil Rights Division.
Harmeet — don’t let the door hit you on your way out. ✌
Reminder: When Tony Evers beat Scott Walker in 2018, GOP legislature rushed to curb his powers in the lame duck. Eight years later, his legacy is cemented.
