DESANTIS: "There has not been a single book banned in Florida."
MUSK: Oh, thanks informing me
FACT: There are hundreds of books banned in Florida schools and hundreds of thousands unavailable to students pending review
Holy shit. Democrats just burst out laughing at Marjorie Taylor Greene as she’s presiding over the House when she told them to have “decorum.” She kept hitting the gavel and they kept laughing at her. (@acyn)
Anyone falling for the extreme far-right's Target backlash — and framing it as a both-sides debate — are not doing their journalistic duty.
They're repeating a harassment campaign that was telegraphed in public months ago. That is not your job as reporters.
WOW. Minority Whip Katherine Clark just announced that ALL 213 Democratic House members have agreed to a discharge petition that would allow them to force a vote on the debt ceiling. Democrats are more united than ever & it's incredible. Kevin McCarthy could never do this.
Massive, massive win for transgender people out of my birth state of Louisiana.
Louisiana becomes only the 3rd red state to beat back a total gender affirming care ban for trans teens.
Activists there should be truly proud. This was not an easy task.
The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride.
If your advocacy consists merely of rainbows that disappear at the first gust of fascist wind, it amounts to net harm.
A heart transplant recipient was arrested after a dispute with a neighbor over WiFi. Jail officials refused to let him take his transplant medication for two days. He’d waited 12 years for a heart. His body rejected the heart, and he died.

Whatever you do, please do NOT call Trump’s attorney on his cell phone to tell him what you think about this letter. I repeat — do NOT call his attorney’s cell phone number!!
I don’t use profanity often, but I’m going to use it now because I genuinely mean it. Fuck Kevin McCarthy. Fuck him for being the biggest hypocrite on planet Earth and holding our country & economy hostage just for politics. Truly, fuck Kevin McCarthy.
The GOP is attempting to defund the FBI because it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to – investigate Donald Trump’s potential criminality.
This is the authoritarian playbook 101: undermining our democratic institutions and systems of accountability in the raw pursuit of power.
.@Target claims that they are removing Pride merchandise from their stores to protect the security of their employees.
The message that anti-LGBTQ+ bigots and fascists will receive from this is that making violent threats works.
They will get worse.
While tomorrow is the one year mark of the Robb Elementary Massacre in Uvalde, today around 10 P.M. is the last time I saw Uzi, as I told him to go to bed, ruffled his hair and told him I loved him. I didn’t see him on the 24th as I left for work before the kids got up for school
The media hasn’t reported it, but @robshapiro is right: Per capita income in America, after inflation, rose 3.6% over the last 9 months. Under Trump pre-Covid it was 2.5%. We haven’t seen real income growth like this since the Clinton years. /1 https://t.co/b2JE6uMcve @monthly
If pride stuff being on shelves offends you because you don't "believe in pride," then we should take away Christmas stuff because I don't believe in Christmas. Don't like the sound of that? Well then. Mind you own damn business.
CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage.
This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.
Wake up America.
This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman?
You’re next.
