VERY IMPORTANT EMAIL FROM OUR EDITORIAL TEAM:
"Health 👏 care 👏 is 👏 two 👏 words. Yes, even when you’re using it as a modifier (e.g., “health care coverage”). Even when spellcheck tells you it’s one word. They’re lying. It’s two."

AP calls it - voters in Missouri reject an amendment to the state constitution that would have banned most abortions and banned all transgender health care for anyone under 18

Republicans really were just one ad about trans kids away from turning this thing around

That’s now TWO pro-equality chambers in Congress.
LGBTQ+ people made this moment possible.
The MAGA obsession with attacking trans people has failed families who are struggling to make ends meet. And voters spoke up.
Now, this new Congress has a mandate to protect our fundamental freedoms, our democracy, and deliver real solutions to urgent priorities for all families.
ALT Graphic. Text says: “We secured a pro-equality majority in the Senate. Let’s get free, vote equality ‘26.” A photo shows an HRC flag flying in front of the U.S. Capitol.
Over $110M in anti-trans ads spent against Sherrod, Talarico, and Hinojosa. Down. The. Drain.
Time to put this disgusting strategy to bed.

Equality wins.
After two years of MAGA attacking our LGBTQ+ community instead of addressing rising costs, voters have had enough. With this pro-equality House majority, we’re ready to put working families first, hold Trump accountable, and build a future of equality for all.

This hit me harder than I thought it would. It's incredible to see a gay man elected to the U.S. Senate, standing proudly next to his husband.
I'm not crying...YOU'RE CRYING!

BREAKING: Bentley Hudgins has won Georgia House District 90, making history as the first openly transgender and non-binary person elected to the Georgia Legislature #NOH8

FYI: tonight, Congresswoman Sarah McBride will become the first openly-trans person reelected to Congress.
AP calls it for @JeremyAllenMoss in MI-11! State's first out LGBTQ+ Member of Congress! He is going to be a star on Capitol Hill!
Chris Pappas just made history--first out gay man ever elected to the U.S. Senate! #NHSen
From the Exit Polls: Even after $340M in anti-trans ads from Republicans, voters trust Dems on trans issues 44%-35%.
These ads are...not doing what they want them to do politically.

“did you see this twee—“ let me stop you there. I have seen every tweet. if it is posted I have read it. I am refreshing and I am reading and I am refreshing and I am going to do this for nineteen hours straight because if I miss something it will have a direct electoral effect

No. He won't be.
Haley Stevens on Mike Rogers:

MAGA has spent $300 million on ads attacking trans people.
That money could be spent on 4 million bags of groceries. 71 million gallons of gas. 8.4 million months of insulin.
Americans deserve leaders who take our struggles seriously.
Tomorrow, we vote MAGA out.
