“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.”
QAnon Ginni Pushed 29 AZ Reps To Back Fake Electors
The Washington Post reports:
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed 29 Republican state lawmakers in Arizona — 27 more than previously known — to set aside Joe Biden’s popular vote victory and “choose” presidential electors, according to emails obtained by The Washington Post.
Thomas sent the messages using FreeRoots, an online platform intended to make it easy to send pre-written emails to multiple elected officials. New documents show that Thomas used the platform to reach many lawmakers simultaneously.
On Nov. 9, she sent identical emails to 20 members of the Arizona House and seven Arizona state senators. That represents more than half of the Republican members of the state legislature at the time.

It appears that members from all three branches of our federal government sought to chop the tree of liberty down.
They should take her SCOTUS judgeship away from her. And don’t tell me she does not wear the pants in that family.

Thought experiment: imagine if Kevin Noonan, Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s ex-spouse, had done exactly what Ginni Thomas did, to the benefit of a Democrat running for president. Every last Republican head would’ve simultaneously exploded and the pressure on Sotomayor to retire would have been so extreme that she would’ve been left with no choice but to recuse herself permanently from the bench.
Our side needs to learn how to rant, rave, and scream as much as Republicans. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil and we’re not nearly squeaky enough.
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.

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.

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.
House Candidate: Execute Supporters Of LGBTQ Rights
Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch:
Mark Burns, an unabashed Christian nationalist MAGA pastor who is running for Congress in South Carolina, declared that if he is elected, he will reinstate the House Un-American Activities Committee so that the government can “start executing people” guilty of treason.
Who does Burns believe is guilty of treason? Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham whose supposed crime is potentially supporting some gun control measures, and LGBTQ-supporting parents and teachers.
During an appearance on “The Stew Peters Show” Wednesday, Burns was asked by guest host Lauren Witzke what he would do to fight “LGBTQ indoctrination” if elected to Congress. Burns replied that the LGBTQ agenda represents “a national security threat” and therefore anyone promoting it is guilty of treason and should be executed.
Read the full article. There’s much more.
As you may recall, in 2016 Burns literally jumped out of his chair and fled a CNN interview after he was busted for lying about his military service and for lying about having a college degree. It must be what Jesus would want. Burns later claimed he was “attacked” by CNN because he’s a black man who supports Trump.
There’s nothing more nauseating than a person from a marginalized community who makes bigoted threats against other marginalized communities. This man is sickening.

Amen to that! He obviously learned nothing from the civil rights movement and the name Bayard Rustin obviously means nothing to him at all.
Christian nationalist, blissfully unaware that his idol considers him 3/5 of a person.
I’ve said for years that the only difference between openly hateful groups like Westboro and “mainstream” evangelicals is their choice of words. But looks like even that difference is vanishing.

It’s becoming a new trend among the deplorables, saying all the horrible things they’ve always wanted to say. Here’s Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga, TX, a suburb of Fort Worth, saying the quiet part out loud during a recent sermon:
“These people should be put to death. Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime. The abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial. They should be sentenced with death. They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head,” he said.
What, me worry? Elagabalus • 3 hours ago
We’re born this way, just as he was born black. Would he be OK with being executed because he was born black? It makes just as much sense. At any rate I hope he goes down in flames early. I’m sick of his crap. It’s really insulting to have a candidate for congress threatening to execute 70% of the population. Why is this even OK?
