Texas Parents Reported For Child Abuse For Loving Their Transgender Son

“On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit on behalf of three families challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent call for the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents who provide gender-affirming healthcare to transgender kids, and to block the state from investigating members of PFLAG.
The lawsuit cites a particularly disturbing case in which a transgender boy whose family was reported to the state’s DFPS by hospital staff after he was admitted for attempting suicide after he took a bottle of aspirin.
According to the lawsuit, 16-year-old Antonio Voe “said that the political environment, including Abbott’s Letter, and being misgendered at school, led him to take these actions.”
When hospital staff learned he had been receiving hormone therapy, they reported his family to the DFPS.”

DeSantis Files For Public Matching Campaign Funds
Florida Playbook reports:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to make sure he has every advantage heading into his fall reelection. And that apparently includes taking what some Republicans have called “welfare for politicians.”
Take the money and run — DeSantis on Thursday filed all his campaign-related paperwork to qualify for reelection, and that included — surprise — a request to accept public matching funds. It’s a move that will probably result in the GOP governor receiving millions in added financial help. (DeSantis got $3.2 million in his initial campaign for governor.)
How does this happen? — Wait, you ask — how can someone who has raised in excess of $113 million so far (a figure that will go up even more today when May reports are filed) get taxpayer help? Well, because he can.
Read the full article.
Welfare for me but not for thee.
Anybody surprised DeSantis is the Quellfare Queen of Floriduh?

No, and Florida deserves him. One quarter of eligible voters sat out 2016 and 2018 handing him a razor thin margin of victory and TFG won the state by 125K votes. Florida had the power to to stop TFG in his tracks back in 2016 and chose not to.
As my mother would say, this is why we can’t have nice stuff.
New Jersey Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Pesticides He Marketed As COVID Preventives, Faces Up To 20 Years
From the Justice Department:
A New Jersey man pleaded guilty to various charges stemming from his sale of more than $2.7 million worth of various unregistered pesticides to numerous victims based on false representations that these products were registered pesticides with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and on EPA’s “List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2” that EPA deemed to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus).
Paul Andrecola, 63, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Robert B. Kugler in Camden federal court to an information charging him with one count of knowingly distributing or selling an unregistered pesticide in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), one count of wire fraud and one count of presenting false claims to the United States.
“Andrecola not only cheated dozens of people out of millions of dollars, but also endangered the health of those who relied on his fraudulent virucidal products,” said Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “The Department of Justice is committed to prosecuting such crimes to the fullest extent possible.”
Andrecola, who owns and operates three companies based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, manufactured various disinfectant products, including liquids and wipes, under the brand name “GCLEAN.”
GCLEAN products were unregistered pesticides under FIFRA and none of the products were on EPA’s “List N of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2.”
Rather, Andrecola placed another company’s EPA Registration Numbers on his company’s products, and falsely marketed that his products were EPA-approved to kill Coronavirus by creating numerous false documents to support his claims.
The count of illegal sale of an unregistered pesticide carries a statutory maximum prison sentence of one year, and a fine of up to $25,000.
The charge of wire fraud is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and the count of false claims against the United States is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison.
Both the charges of wire fraud and false claims against the United States are each also subject to fines of the greater of $250,000, twice the gross profits to Andrecola, or twice the gross loss suffered by the victims, whichever is greatest.
As part of the plea agreement, the defendant agreed to forfeit more than $2.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of the illegal product and to make full restitution for all losses resulting from his commission of the charged crimes.
Sentencing is October 11th.

Bob’s Your Uncle – BYU • 4 hours ago
Why would so many people trust him? Watch the video. Production values and grandfatherly actor speaking slowly and confidently like they do on Fox News.
He looks like the Hollywood stereotype of a good doctor: older, white male, white facial hair, articulate and well dressed and well groomed. surrounded by orderly clutter and talks at a level that a scientific illiterate can understand. Then paraphrase the usual grifter tropes:
My moisturizer is the best, believe me. The government doesn’t want you to have this because the doctors will make more money if you stay sick. Then he goes on to demonstrate that it is a product that is non-flammable and safe for the kids and grandkids, which has nothing to do with anti-viral efficacy. Anti-bacterial vs. anti-viral. Same difference, amirite?
Voila! if you look like an expert and don’t talk down to people who think their horse sense is just as good as your fancy degree, then they feel respected if you don’t use big words and can use memorable parlor tricks that look very science-y so that you can look smart when you explain it to your even dumber friends. It’s made in New Jersey, the mecca of scientists. Princeton is located there!.
Fox Host: “You Gotta Accept The Results Of An Election”
“Number one, you gotta accept the results of an election. Get your legal team out there. You go ahead and pursue it aggressively, responsibly.
“And after that, when William Barr, your greatest ally turns around and said there is nothing there, when your MVP Mike Pence who has with you through every step of the way, says there is nothing there, when Ivanka Trump and Jared say we can’t see any proof that there is anything there, you turn the page.
“Donald Trump would probably would have 68% approval ratings right now and ready to be Grover Cleveland, ready for four more years.
“Not that they can’t do that.” – Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, reacting to last night’s riot hearing.

Oops. He said the one thing you’re never supposed to say, “the orange emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes.”
Brian Kilmeade should expect to see his pink slip in his mailbox by the end of the day.

Or — Fox is getting ready to jettison Trump in favor of DeSantis, who is more truly fascist.
WarrenHart rmthunter • 4 hours ago
I was just typing the same thing. They’d rather Trump go away so they can transition their support to Ron DeSantis.
Rambie rmthunter • 4 hours ago
I thought of that too but also could be they’re just trying to get the base to look forward. They know that having the narrative about 2020 still be the talking point will turn off some of their moderate less extreme MAGAt viewers and could hurt turn out this fall.
The Republican Establishment wants Trump to stop looking “backwards” — to stop obsessing about the 2020 election — and to instead start painting a picture of the future. Tell the American people what he and they envision for the future of America. Ya know… no darkies allowed into our country, no saying “gay” in schools, etc. Instead, the sexual predator is stuck in the past.
Rethugs with half a brain don’t like that.

Rethugs with half a brain know that he is incapable of doing that. Trump has two motivators: money and revenge. He has no “picture of the future,” except him standing, like a rooster on a dunghill, celebrating victory.
This is in line with the official GQP statement: “this is old news.” From the people who are STILL obsessed with Benghazi.
Carlson Guest Calls Riot “Clear Hoax By The Feds”
Media Matters has the transcript:
DARREN BEATTIE (GUEST): There’s a reason that, people like us, when we talk about federal involvement in January 6th, it’s met with the most vicious and hostile response from the regime imaginable.
But no matter how dark and uncomfortable these truths are, the American people need to learn about them from themselves.
I encourage everyone, if you’re skeptical, if you’re not, if you know someone who is skeptical, go to revolver dot news right now.
Read our report and challenge others to do so as well and tell them to look you in the eye and say that the feds weren’t involved in this. It’s a clear hoax.
We know what’s happened but there’s unfinished business and we need to expose the feds for what they’ve done because, as I’ve said on your show before, until we bring the national security state to heel, our politics will be nothing but fake and performative.

Carlson: The Rioters Were Justified In Their Actions
“Above all, they lie about the reason that January 6th happened in the first place. And you know what it is — the entire country watched Joe Biden get what they claimed was 10 million more votes than Barack Obama himself.
“Joe Biden got 10 million more votes than Barack Obama got? And a lot of those votes arrived after the election.
“In a lot of places voting was stopped in the middle of the night. Why? In the biggest states in the country, voter ID was optional. Why is that okay?
“A lot of the protesters on January 6th were very upset about that, and they should have been. All of us should be.
“But the January 6th committee ignored all of that completely. Instead, on the basis of zero evidence, no evidence whatsoever, they blame the entire riot on white supremacy.” – Tucker Carlson, last night.
