➡️ 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.
We also touch base with the hosts of ‘The Weekend’ as MSNBC becomes MS NOW, and take a look at far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ political groups you need to be aware of.
Until tomorrow,
