Hi all,

🏛️ If the Supreme Court overturns the decision that made marriage equality legal across the U.S., over 60 percent of the country would no longer have it. These are the states that wouldn't allow marriages between same-sex couples.

🥊 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly threatened to punch the Trump administration’s federal housing official in the “f***ing face.” Bessent, the highest-ranking out member of Trump’s administration, attended a party in Washington, D.C., last week, where he allegedly got into a confrontation with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte.

👏🏽 Amy Schneider, who won more than $1.6 million on Jeopardy!, had a pointed response to an online troll who wondered if she was “given insider help” to boost the quiz show’s diversity, equity, and inclusion, presumably because she’s transgender.

Onward and upward,
