One governor just did something that makes it nearly impossible for the regime to go after trans people in his state.
Three signatures. It's already law.

We’ve had birth right citizenship for 157 years.
And, while Matt Walsh hates it, it takes only a few hours with an Ancestry subscription to find out it’s the only reason he is American.
Like nearly all Americans, within 2+ generations you’ll find that Matt’s relatives only became American by birthright citizenship.
They came from Ireland, Australia, England, Scotland and Austria.
Most of them *never* naturalized as citizens.
But their children born here became citizens.
“Ending birthright citizenship” isn’t about “illegals” if it was then Trump’s team would have had a more tailored argument and would have likely won today.
It’s fully kicking the ladder out from underneath you.
When people like Matt act as if they’ve got some right to the land of opportunity that you and your children don’t deserve.
The reality is, 80% of Americans today have ancestors who came to America and never naturalized between now and 1866.
And if you go back 2-4 generations in their family tree basically none of those relatives were in America.
Meaning they owe their own American status to the very policy they want to get rid of.
There is a hubris in thinking “just because my Grandparents were American we must have been American forever” when the only reason they were American is because of birthright citizenship.
Pocan: "I know you're a Christian nationalist by declaration."
Vought: "This is the second year in a row that you've used that slander."
Pocan: "You think calling someone a Christian nationalist is a slander? You wrote an article called 'Is There Anything Actually Wrong With Christian Nationalism?' And now you're saying it's a slander?"
The Constitution barely survived today.
By a 5-4 vote, Trump’s Supreme Court declined to let him rewrite the Constitution and end birthright citizenship.
We’re hanging on by a thread. The fight to defend our democracy is far from over.
“This Executive Order contravenes the Citizenship Clause’s original understanding, deeply-rooted Supreme Court precedent and the constitutional authority of the legislative & judicial branches. The issuance of this Order was an affront to the Rule of Law.”

@DavidLeavitt I am moving to Germany in a few days and intend to send hand-written post cards to each and every one of my students from this past school year.
What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.
The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury's finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.
So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:
DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.
Crazy how trump is going around saying america will never fall to socialism and communism after he spent last year nationalizing u.s. steel, bought ownership in private businesses and debated setting price floors while trying to central plan with sweeping wide illegal tariffs.
Trump blames the pool algae on vandalism. Yes, vandalism in DC is rampant. Last year vandals destroyed half the White House. Last week a gang of criminals ripped up the South Lawn and staged a fight club. A few months ago some cretin graffitied the Kennedy Center with his name!
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
