This got removed from politics because “Video links are not allowed” apparently? Pretty weird considering that most politicians say stuff on video nowadays and not really writing articles anymore since the invention of the radio pretty much lol. Hope it’s a better fit here, this is the kind of stuff people should be aware of.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Where do these gouls get these ideas? They all seem to have the same ridiculous ideas at the same time. Who is telling all the puppets what to say? Is there a group chat somewhere?
There absolutely is a group chat and people telling them what to say and support.
Democratic consultants like Third Way or Center for American Progress. These consultants tell Dems to appeal to
conservativesmoderates by doing stupid shit like this.The oligarchs who want a culture wars so we don’t start fighting back in the class wars. That’s who is telling them.
