A fun thing is going to your doctor because they asked you to come in for some routine tests and you have insurance but somehow still owe someone $500, not sure who, but you do.

Always remember that Rufo is a fucking fraud, explaining his deep racism with faux intellectual bullshit that makes other racists think there's an actual, tangible basis for their racism rather than them being just irrational, hate-filled dickholes.

I have been covering this race for months now, Crockett has spent a minimal amount of time on the campaign trail, but plenty of time sitting for high profile interviews where she insists that’s what she’s doing.

The same PAC is making an endorsement in the California and Virgin Islands gov. races. Talarico and Hinojosa are both local lawmakers trying to unseat multi-term incumbent statewide officials.

Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.

However the anti-trans ads had less to do with Kentucky and more to do with the fact that we were in an election. Terry Schilling, the head of the APP, decided to test the ads in our election to determine whether or not the issue could win votes for the Republican Party. Earlier in the summer of 2019, Scholling had partnered with a behavioral science firm to try to find a wedge issue that resonated with suburban voters. That's right. The anti-trans ads did not come out of some firmly held conviction but was a purely political stance. Their research landed on trans athletes, specifically trans women, competing in women's sports. They tested their theory in the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial general election. Although I won, APP considered their test successful, because their research showed the ads delivered thirteen thousand votes for Trump Lite, which made the race tighter than anticipated.You might hask how, in this political climate, I was reelected after vetoing the anti-trans bill. Because people respect authentic faith. The day I vetoed it, I explained my why. I said I believe all children are children of God and that I don't want people picking on these kids. I then countered their anti-trans ads with commercials talking about good jobs, healthcare, roads and bridges, public education, and public safety. The result? The biggest win of my career. So don't tell me the Democratic Party should stop fighting for the rights of all people. Just explain your authentic why, and then get back to focusing on issues that touch all our lives on a daily basis.
