So, the rats are getting while the getting is good.

Is it?

What political capital will the Democrats spend ferreting out actual criminals and fitting them for a orange jumpsuit? Will the further poison wells by criminalizing policy they need only reverse?

Tune in next week to find out, via the excellent reporting of S. Baum.

Whom we thank!

They are fleeing but the records of their work and names remains. It will be important when accountability comes into play.

That only works if the records are not being destroyed. It has been leaked that Trump is having the records destroyed on his pet projects like the arch. I would not be surprised if they plan to destroy the Epstein files too. This is survival to them. They are going to jail.

The nooses these rats deserve should still work in the water with the right current.

As Erin stated, the rats are leaving the ship, and I'm sure more will follow as they see the handwriting on the wall and realize that voters have had enough of this bullshit. They have made it clear that they are not interested in this administration's agenda or the continued threats and intimidation being used to advance it.

The question now is, who will take their place? One can only hope that qualified people will think twice before accepting positions in an administration that is increasingly failing and losing public confidence. Hopefully, these threats and the pressure being exerted by this administration will begin to subside along with it.

And perhaps most importantly, it's time for the hospitals and clinics that have backed down under political pressure to find their courage. The transgender community deserves more than empty promises and excuses. They deserve medical care, dignity, privacy, and protection. These hospitals and clinics must stand up, do what is right, and fulfill their responsibility to the people who depend on them. The healthcare of an entire community should never be sacrificed to political intimidation.

Are we going to get more rats fleeing on things like that Texas detransition clinic. They probably can’t keep the clinic from existing because they settled with the DOJ. They can put major guard rails on the operation of the clinic. No forced detransitions. Prosecute parents that force their children to detransition through these clinics. It is a whole new world in Texas with anti-trans stuff with every executive office filled with Democrats. It is not going to matter if they have a youth gender affirming care ban since the Attorney General is not going to enforce it. Same with the abortion law. They are not going to enforce it.
