➡️ Democrats have reignited the Epstein scandal, releasing emails which raise further questions about Trump and Epstein’s friendship — and gay Rep. Robert Garcia of California is among those leading the charge.
Plus, our friends at The 19th News take a close look at detransitioning and how political figures are using it to drive anti-trans policy, and the Human Rights Campaign has dropped sponsorships from weapons manufacturers after years of pressure from advocacy groups.

Until tomorrow,
