And now to talk about the latest transgender controversy, we turn to our panel: A failed Democratic Senator, a crypto lobbyist, and a nest of hornets we found inside the walls of our studio. I'm your host, a sentient can of stale LaCroix.

As usual the problem is the intransigence of left-wing "trans-rights defenders," not the legal and physical threats of right-wing trans-rights attackers. There is no such thing as a "compromise position" on gender-affirming care. The existing system is already extremely conservative!

There’s no public polling on taxpayer-financed transition surgery for prisoners, but polling generally finds the public is broadly supportive of equal rights for trans people. That support does not quite extend to allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s sports, or to medicalizing transitions for children. But this would imply the need for political compromise on the part of trans-rights defenders, a point activist groups are generally loath to concede.

a lot of people love to talk about revolution and camaraderie and "the commune" and then can't speak to a Normie for five minutes without losing their mind. i have bad news about the people who will also be in the commune

They're genuinely afraid of getting sued by him. Media Matters had mass layoffs. GARM just shut down. It's not usual nuisance suit stuff, it's screw you I have more money to burn on this than you do. Musk abuses state power to censor people, full stop. And it works. The chilling effect is real.

"I ett anförande i riksdagen var Wallenberg tydlig. Hoten mot dem kommer frÄn den högerextrema och sverigedemokratiska myllan. Det Àr ocksÄ dÀrifrÄn attackerna mot svenska Pride kommit." Skriver om Mats Perssons utspel om invandrares vÀrderingar.

Hoten mot Pride kommer frÄn regeringen, inte frÄn invandrare

New: Major newspapers are giving Trump’s federal criminal indictment a fraction of the coverage they gave former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server in 2016 www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

Image is of a chart.

Media Matters reviewed print coverage in five newspapers — Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — for stories mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week following U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s October 2 unsealing of special counsel Jack Smith’s latest filing, which reveals damning new evidence of the former president’s alleged crimes. 

We found the papers ran 26 combined articles mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week after the unsealing of Smith’s filing. But those same papers published 100 combined articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe, as we documented in a 2016 study.
