But why don't you want Biden? Because Corporate Dem leadership is more afraid of Progressives than they are of actual democracy destroying fascists. Have been for awhile - that's what happened in NY. Not meeting the moment at all. Not recognizing the danger.

NEW: a PAC fighting progressive primary challengers is funded by one man who happens to be the richest person in Pennsylvania, a GOP mega donor who has avoided $1 billion in taxes: Jeff Yass. Biden’s former campaign manager is the PAC’s only consultant theintercept.com/2023/01/25/jef

The American Principles Project, a group pushing the anti trans laws, confirmed they want to "end gender affirming care entirely." They and the Alliance Defending Freedom are who are currently pushing these bills. I spoke with NYT's Maggie Astor.

The Arkansas anti-drag bill that would define drag as essentially "trans people performing" is going to head for a full floor vote TOMORROW! If it passes, it will ban trans people performing if "prurient," a vague word. Simply being trans is prurient to some.

Last update for the week. We are tracking at least 167 anti-LGBTQ bills. This week marked the filing deadline for Oklahoma and Mississippi which means we won't see new bills there. However, MS and UT are fasttracking their bans on gender affirming care. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

Absolutely horrifying development. A second state has released a bill that would ban gender affirming care up to the age of 26. South Carolina's bill would join Oklahoma's bill in forcing trans adults to medically detransition. This would be HB3730 in SC.
