While over 70% of Americans are in favor of laws that prohibit discrimination against trans people, nearly two-thirds of people support restrictions specifically around sports.

The poll results dispel the idea that Gallego and Sinema would split the Democratic vote.
Of voters who chose Sinema:
- 42% voted for Trump
- 9% voted for Biden
Suggesting that Sinema would siphon more Republican voters than Democrats.

Former president Donald Trump decided to turn his arrest and 34 felony charges into a money-making opportunity: he has reportedly raised $7 million in the past week.
In a very on-brand move, Trump is even selling fake mugshot merch that say he's two inches taller than he actually is.

It’s 2023, and men still cannot donate blood or plasma for three months after their most recent sexual contact with a man.
But that could change soon. The FDA has proposed replacing time-based restrictions that discriminate based on sexual conduct with a risk-based analysis for all donors.

When you hear pundits say the indictment of Donald Trump is unprecedented, do not believe them.

NEW: Arizona police could soon have broad authority to arrest anyone in the area where they believe “a crime has possibly occurred.”
The vague language in the bill mirrors that of a 2022 law that was blocked by the courts for violating the First Amendment.

Tonight's the night! If you look up, you'll be able to see five planets, stretching from the horizon line to around halfway up the night sky.
But don’t be late: Mercury and Jupiter will quickly dip below the horizon around half an hour after sunset.

Years ago, skateboarding was branded as a hobby for rebels or stoners in city streets and back alleys.
Those days are long gone.

Back in 2010, I was hospitalized for depression. I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.
Millions of Americans are rooting for you, Senator.
