Oh, surprise everyone, the billionaire too poor to pay rent for his new 45 billion-dollar purchase can‘t afford to pay for SMS service either. Anyone else on iOS like me can follow Dan Moren’s directions to use Apple’s built-in service.

We told you this would happen.

They're going after Obergefell, gay marriage, and gay parents in Oklahoma.

You didn't think this would stop at trans people, did you?

A whole bunch of people who write or have written for the New York Times published a letter this morning calling out the paper's anti-trans pivot. @HellGateNY interviewed one of the organizers, @Jo_Livingstone, about what's going on at the Times: https://t.co/cgJH66E98Z

Obviously the answer here is to reinstate the Public Editor role and give it to @tomscocca https://t.co/Jq5mKp3uns

In early 2021, both Kushner and Trump needed a game plan for making money. MBS came to the rescue with billions of dollars. @PostKranish joins @SykesCharlie today.

@JeffSharlet The most likely explanation is that most of us quit Twitter, this is the first day I’ve logged in for a couple of months. Most of the people I followed have quit.

Twitter wants to make sure we see Elon’s disgusting stolen memes though.

Republican representative: "We are under no obligation to be kind to one another and kids are not obliged to."

What kind of world is this guy trying to build...

He really IS advocating for freedom to bully.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

This representative is using what happened in Kiel, Wisconsin as a reason for this bill.

Libs of TikTok targeted Kiel, Wisconsin after 3 kids were suspected of bullying a trans kid.

Then the school came under bomb threats for a month shutting it down.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

In 3 minutes, Montana will be debating and voting on the House floor a "right to bully" trans people.

It will give students the right to use trans people's deadnames and misgender them openly.

Follow along with me. 🧵

[Mary Ann Georgantopoulos @marygeorgant]

A group of more than 170 trans, nonbinary, and cisgender contributors to the NYT published an open letter condemning the paper’s coverage of trans issues — particularly its reporting around trans youth and gender-affirming healthcare.

@SollenbergerRC @thedailybeast Surely there was something more than private payment transactions, right?

I found out that Greenberg had written a confession letter. After very sensitive deliberations, I managed to snag a copy—just a snippet.

My jaw dropped. This was a bombshell.

[Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery]

@SollenbergerRC @thedailybeast When we broke this news, more witnesses started talking. They backed up everything in the Venmos.

They described how Gaetz regularly sought young women—nearly all blonde college freshmen. He apparently had a type.

We were onto something.

[Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery]

@SollenbergerRC @thedailybeast Then, @SollenbergerRC and I carefully combed through the Venmos to spot anomalies.

After a week, we were able to see the full picture: Greenberg had paid a vast network of young women.

Now we understood the Gaetz-Greenberg relationship.

[Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery]

@SollenbergerRC @thedailybeast We heard Gaetz used Greenberg as a frontman and fixer. We got Venmos showing at least one instance that hinted at that.

[Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery]

Feds had a confession letter. Private Venmos. Uber receipts. Flight records.

Yet they still won't prosecute Congressman Matt Gaetz.

This is all the more stunning, because @SollenbergerRC & I were the ones who exposed the evidence for @thedailybeast:
