Rogan Calls Trans People “Perverts,” Spreads School Shooting Lies On Show This week, on The Joe Rogan Experience: Steve-O and more anti-trans hate.

1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.

It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.

Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.

The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King of Maine told The Post, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch.

Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC.

“This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said.

They also mocked the "vanity" project.

“This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The “NYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Donald J. Trump C @realDonaldTrump + There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Unconditional surrender without ground troops. Right.

@repchrispappas.bsky.social is 100% correct. Ever since the Citizens United decision, wealthy special interests have been secretly buying our elections. It's time to pass the DISCLOSE Act and close the floodgates of dark money.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

The Venezuela Model

For those who may not remember, funding an adversary in a proxy war in Afghanistan was a big part of how the US bankrupted the Soviet Union.

Putin and literally all of our enemies every day since Trump took office

The DOJ Subpoenaed Patient Info From a Gender-Affirming Care Clinic. It Fought Back. A Washington judge quashed the Trump administration's attempt to subpoena patient information from the telehealth practice QueerDoc—but the fight may not be over.

Late last year I covered the case of QueerDoc, a small, telehealth gender-affirming care practice that received a subpoena from Trump's DOJ. The subpoena was blocked by a federal judge, but the DOJ appealed, and the 9th Circuit is hearing oral arguments today.

I’m sorry I didn’t run into you there! Was a lovely night of hope.

A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act 👇

Marc Elias with some good news:

“As of Tuesday night, Democrats have overperformed in 253 of 283 key elections since 2025, and Democratic turnout reached levels we have not seen in decades.”

Yay!

Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan faces ethics probe in Florida Based on the results of the investigation, she could eventually face disbarment.

Florida’s bar association is currently investigating Lindsey Halligan, a loyalist President Donald Trump selected to bring criminal charges against his political opponents, over allegations that her failed prosecutions violated ethics rules governing lawyers. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

A Disastrous Jobs Report, Russia Is Helping Iran Attack The US, The War Is Spinning Out Of Control - America Needs A Course Correction, Now Our addled and desperate leader is putting America and the world into grave danger - Democrats must fight to force a course correction......

- Russia is helping Iran attack Americans
Need a better way👇

Have you seen these claims from the Trump admin saying US-born workers gained 2.5M jobs in 2025?

Well, they were wrong—updated population estimates released today knocked native-born employment by 2.5M.

What's with these guys' use of the word "kinetic?" Where did that come from? Did someone focus-group test it and tell politicians to all start using it or what?

People think Trump cares that his war is unpopular, his tariffs are unpopular, his economy is unpopular, etc. Those people don't get Trump views us as subjects. Our views don't matter.

We’re murdering children and our economy sucks. Congrats on becoming Russia, everyone.

Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and nominated Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Thank you to @legalmiga.bsky.social for the Thread on Mullin that inspired this video

He just wants to break the world.

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
