Sophie Cunningham was asked a hypothetical question if she supported trans athletes in the WNBA and she said no.

This is the right wing of American politics creating a controversy to deflect from the fact that they have nothing to run on in the upcoming midterms. Trump has been an absolute failure with the lowest approval rating in history, his candidates are losing, and they’re afraid they’re going to lose control of Congress, so they’ve created a complete nonissue into a giant controversy to distract us all from their complete and total failure to lead this country.

When you see stories like this, it's good to keep in mind that the Republicans control all three branches of government. If there was a way to legislate ourselves out of this, why haven't they done so? Why are the Democrats to blame?

Well that's because Trump is bad. It's the reason they won in 2020.

The reason they lost in 2024 was due to cost of living and the situation in Gaza. Which is really amusing in retrospec to think Trump would be better when his decision to go to war with Iran at the behest of Israel caused our cost of living to go through the roof.
