The Right Has Found Its New Riley Gaines in the WNBA talkingpointsmemo.com/news/sophie-...
Combine the narrative of a telegenic white player’s trials as a brave and lonely anti-trans crusader with easy-to-get footage of fans yelling at calculatedly young women advocating for the same cause. It’s a Fox News (Fever) dream talkingpointsmemo.com/news/sophie-...
As long as anti-trans agitators are sent to WNBA games, there will inevitably be pushback; the mostly Black, prominently gay league is considered a safe environment for its many LGBTQ+ fans and several teams celebrate pride nights
Cunningham, though significantly less prominent as an athlete than Clark, is proving herself a more willing avatar. Clark attracts criticism for her often tepid responses to being weaponized by the right, but Cunningham isn’t condemning it at all
The right typically feigns interest in women’s sports — taking a brief pause from demeaning them, or seeking to weaken Title IX — in one of two situations: when it can project its racial grievances onto Caitlin Clark, or when it can advance its anti-trans agenda
3. the girls get heckled, including by a Seattle Storm co-owner 4. the right explodes 5. the WNBA fines the co-owner & suspends her from next five home games 6. another rally is planned at Fever game today 7. Cunningham applauds the girls for "standing up for what they believe"
1. Sophie Cunningham, Indiana Fever guard, tells ESPN: "young girls in sport" "shouldn't have to go against biological men" 2. an anti-trans rally is planned for the Fever's next game, and two teens holding signs thanking Sophie sit courtside (in seats allegedly paid for by "a generous donor")
Carr has emerged as one of the most successful sycophants of Trump II when it comes to carrying out Trump’s revenge on his perceived enemies — in Carr’s case, the media, the OG adversary of Trump’s political career in Trump’s eyes.
Elizabeth Warren wants an investigation into Truth Social's mind-boggling plan to offer early access to Trump's posts to institutions willing to pay.
It’s hard to argue that the delay of today’s crucial Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination isn’t a big deal, but I harbor a growing suspicion that a collective hoodwinking is going on w/ Sen. John Cornyn's purported resistance to Blanche. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
Keith Sonderling's nomination for Labor Secretary was just advanced to the full Senate. As acting Secretary of Labor, Sonderling has weaponized the department against blue states. Here is a snapshot of the man to whom Congress could give a rubber stamp. talkingpointsmemo.com/fivepoints/5...

Trump's latest ham-fisted attempt to make the Senate do what he wants.
Two influential Senate Democrats are pushing back on the nearly unfathomable idea that a company owned by the sitting U.S. president can sell Wall Street early access to that president’s thoughts and actions. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/senator...
While he is throwing a stuff at the wall to see what sticks in terms of disenfranchising millions & trying to unconstitutionally exert federal power over election admin before the midterms — he is primarily focused on using his administration’s investigative latitude to re-litigate the 2020 election
Paul’s obsession with Fauci may border on pathological, but dragging Fauci before his panel, now, is in line with a broader phenomenon among GOPers: they’re rolling back the tapes to the glory days of the MAGA movement, when Trump’s base of supporters had time to indulge his conspiracy theories:
