For a moment I considered skipping the number 13, with its connotations of bad luck, as though I were the architect of a high rise office building. But frankly, Trump has been having some bad luck, so I thought it was appropriate. May he have much more! I'm
Another Monday is in the books, friends, and while we may have taken off a day or two, thankfully a few federal judges did not. As with his Stop the Steal litigation, Trump is mostly losing in the courts. This is because he is a loser. There's a
This one is a quickie because I keep swearing I will take the weekend off but then a bunch of good people show up and push back. Given that transfolks only make up .8% of the population and the recent order banning trans athletes affects only TWELVE athletes, I think
Welcome to all of our new readers! So glad you found us. The purpose of this newsletter is to present news as it should be - highlighting the people and organizations challenging Trump and his minions - and not as the media currently presents it. Democratic Party leaders in Congress
