Do not let the funny headline distract you, a la the McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit, from what is actually a serious case that further erodes consumer rights.

The myth making is out of control. George H.W. Bush flew 58 combat missions as a pilot against the Japanese, and successfully completed a bombing run in a burning plane before having to bail out had to bail into the Pacific Ocean, where he floated for hours before being rescued.

GOP Senator Mitt Romney: “70% of Republicans still say that Donald Trump won...Are we going to abandon truth to that degree? It’s absolutely absurd... Actually, most of the evidence I’ve seen so far has been Republicans trying to corrupt the election.”

This is a fantastic thread on testimony in Ohio - medical providers across the state have made a very compelling case against Ohio's proposed ban on gender affirming care.

1. Happening now, the Ohio Senate Oversight Committee is going to hear HB68, a gender affirming care ban for trans youth that would force all trans youth in the state to medically detransition. The hearing was scheduled in an extremely shady way (more later). Follow along live.

Pretty evident people don't understand a key piece of House Dems' thinking on McCarthy and governance of the House. The idea that we acted out of schadenfreude or pique with no thought to the legislative outlook is, of course, silly nonsense. Here's what the takes are missing-

I was disinvited from a congressional hearing about China’s threats to free speech

I was disinvited from a congressional hearing about China’s threats to free speech

It’s critical to ensure that Chinese government actors responsible for threats to free speech in the U.S. aren’t let off the hook.

Wow. "Regret is rare. Defendants have offered no evidence of any Florida resident who regrets being treated with GnRH agonists or cross-sex hormones." It's so rare Florida defense couldn't even provide a witness.

Incredible news out of Florida. Florida's gender affirming care ban has been blocked in part. The decision is complex, but this should be enough to allow care to proceed soon. This is the first (of many) wins against gender bans this year. "Gender identity is real."
