it literally could not be easier to run against an opponent who is fixated on a microscopic minority that isn’t actually harming anyone! focusing on imaginary threats posed by trans people instead of the world burning down around us is bad politics! point that out! loudly!
"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid."
Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

call it the “9 to 5 Dolly Parton Act” and dare people to vote it down
let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to
Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right.

I've read the book and it's amazing. If you like my work and folk tales, or just want to reintroduce beauty and wonder (with occasional hits of the scary stuff) into your life, you need to grab Hookland Fragments.
As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two.
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123
It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges.
They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

When you claim the unilateral authority to pay troops out of money specifically allocated to not paying troops, fun things happen in the law.
It follows, however, that every single thing that is closed, and every person who is not paid, is Trump's and only Trump's fault. By his own logic, he could pay them, and he has decided not to.
