“Russia's crackdown on LGBT+ civil society is accelerating. Since February, courts have designated nine LGBT+ organizations as ‘extremist’…making cooperation with any of them a criminal offense.”
No, anything but that!!

Why yes, cozying up to MAGA is surely going to play well with French voters on the far right 👇

Indeed, some of the county prosecutors that are refusing to enforce Spanberger's new assault weapons ban are effectively arguing that the sovereignty of the people *within* the borders of these red counties can't be overridden by the state legislature!

Yes- that’s Laura Loomer asking that question as part of the press pool traveling with Hegseth
The world's richest man is provoking pogroms.
"X owner Elon Musk shared a post from Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) announcing locations of protests, and another from the far-right Restore Britain party that read: “Do not make peace with evil. Destroy it.”"
I was curious to see how far this bill got and apparently one year later, it's still only been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and has been sitting there ever since.
Eric Zemmour is betting that embracing MAGA in Washington can pay dividends at home.

I can see the poli sci titles now:
-"Towards a Theory of "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
-"'Trump Derangement' Defining an Elusive Concept"
-"Introducing the 'TDS' Scale"
-APSA panel on 'Trump Derangement', organized by Hillsdale College.
Academic grifters are going to have a field day.
