NOTUS about how Democrats should approach people with reservations or genuine questions about transgender inclusion. “If, for instance, we want to have a majoritarian coalition — not just electorally, but specifically on issues around trans rights — that, by necessity, is going to have to include people who have a range of thoughts.“A binary choice between being all-on or all-off is not constructive for anyone,” McBride added.

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore broke his silence about the 2024 election on Wednesday, lashing out at Americans as “not a good people” for electing Donald Trump to a second term by a wide margin.

Cavuto: Coast to Coast.”“But you know, [we’ll] get past it.”Germanotta agreed with FOX Business’ David Asman that he considers himself an “open-minded Republican,” often aligning with liberal-leaning social issues.“What really needs to happen is, people need to understand that even though I’m a Republican and I have Republican conservative attitudes, that doesn’t mean I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or drag as a form of artistry,” he expanded.“And that’s why we use the restaurant as a venue for them to come in, the drag artists,” Germanotta said, “and perform once a week.”The Joanne Trattoria owner officially endorsed Trump for president in September, but more recently, his Grammy Award-winning daughter made a public appearance in support of Vice President Kamala Harris on the last day of campaigning.Lady Gaga gave a heartfelt performance alongside a star-studded lineup for Harris, which included Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, James Taylor and Ricky Martin.The father-daughter duo do not entirely agree politically, as Germanotta has been outspoken about New York City’s demise under Democratic leadership.If Harris had won, “I think it would have killed a lot of businesses in New York City,” Germanotta said while claiming he had plans to move to Wyoming.“Between the immigration and the crime and the economy, it’s a cascading effect,” he said.Trump’s win, however, felt like “a hat trick,” and Germanotta is “of course” happy with the final result.“As soon as we start getting the economy straightened out, and they ‘drill, baby, drill,’ and the price of gas comes down, that producer price index is going to go down, which means consumers are going to get a better deal. I’ll be able to lower prices.

best thing they never had.After rumors swirled that Beyoncé would perform at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston on Friday, fans were let down after the superstar failed to put on a show for the crowd of 30,000.

Trump’s Truth Social post, said she was criticized after posting a TikTok video about the Swifties for Trump movement, which she is now the face of. “I got literally thousands of comments telling me Taylor would hate me, telling me I’m a betrayer, I’m a traitor,” she told The Post.“But I also got some backlash from conservatives as well. Because they know Taylor Swift is liberal and a lot of them don’t like the message that she gives to young girls.” Piwowarczyk, 19, whose TikTok post got 216,000 views, said the Swifties for Trump movement gained momentum after Trump’s post, which garnered 10,100 likes from some of his 7.63 million followers.“He posted two pictures of me wearing my Swifties for Trump shirt,” said the political science major at Concordia University in Mequon, WI.

Who knew? But apparently, DJ Cassidy — was born to run the DNC.Indeed, it was a state roll call to remember at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday night, as the NYC DJ — the spinner to the stars, from Jennifer Lopez to Beyonce to Barack (as in Obama) — turned his “Pass the Mic” franchise into a state-to-state bop-along for 75 epic, invigorating minutes.All 50 US states and territories were represented in a hands-in-the-air-across-America throwdown that was as unprecedented as, um, say, President Joe Biden dropping out of the race a month ago.Cassidy — who had previously campaigned for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris even before she became Biden’s VP pick in 2020 — had been working for a month on putting together this seamless mix of music that was literally across the map.“This is the democratic process,” Cassidy told The Post. “I learned a lot about this over the past month.

Comics for Kamala” event hosted by comedian Paul Mercurio, which included fellow Hollywood stars Ed Helms, Jon Ham, and Whoopi Goldberg.Stiller, 58, joined the continuous call about halfway through its more than three-hour run and immediately got “the ball rolling,” telling Mercurio that he would match the $150,000 donation the host promised to Harris’ campaign.“I’m here because I’m so genuinely excited about the potential to actually win this election,” the “Zoolander” star said. “What’s happened in the last couple of weeks — the turning of the tide — that Vice President Harris could actually win this thing if we all just rally around and take advantage of this incredible energy that’s happening.”Stiller said he wants a “decent person in the White House” and someone who “cares about democracy.”The Hollywood star praised Harris for “acting like a human being” with “empathy” and “humor” before crediting the expected Democratic nominee’s push for the Oval Office for “energizing” young voters who were not “engaged before.”“She’s also a historic candidate,” the “Tropic Thunder” said.

2 Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell is planning to run for Congress to rep his home state of Florida — accompanied by a flashy documentary film to chronicle his challenge to the Washington establishment, The Post can confirm.Campbell, 63, the frontman of the hip-hop legends whose 1989 album “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” was the center of a landmark obscenity case, told Page Six last week that he was plotting a run for federal office.“I’m gonna make an announcement in a couple of weeks,” he said. “I think I have a great chance of winning.”Campbell, also known as “Uncle Luke,” officially launched a political committee in January to explore unseating incumbent Rep.

who supports a ban on trans athletes competing in women’s sports… Our Black president was half White and our Black vice president is half Asian.” “My point is look, you’re still building your politics around slicing and dicing people into these fixed categories.

Some congressional Republicans are flaming mad about a proposed federal rule requiring child welfare agencies to place LGBTQ youths in foster environments “free of hostility, mistreatment, or abuse” that are based on the child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

As Democrats look to regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year, one of the candidates that may help them do that is a gay former federal prosecutor.

scathing report from the House Ethics Committee that found Santos had violated various ethical and campaign finance laws.That report, which has been made public, accuses the openly gay Republican lawmaker of deceiving donors into contributing to him, ostensibly to help pay for campaign expenses, only to use that money on personal expenses, including luxury clothing brands, Botox, spa treatments, and porn subscriptions.He also reported fictitious loans to political committees to encourage donors to continue contributing to him, and to convince Republican Party officials that he should qualify for special campaign funding.Following the report’s release, House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest (R-Miss.) filed a resolution calling for Santos’s expulsion. But that resolution has not yet been filed as privileged, meaning that the Republican-led House could choose to delay a vote.Because Garcia and Goldman’s resolution is privileged, House leaders must schedule a vote on the matter within two legislative days, in this case by the end of Thursday.“The time has finally come to remove George Santos from Congress,” Garcia said in a statement.

one-minute ad, by the right-wing American Principles Project — a “pro-family” political organization that has focused much of its political messaging on opposing LGBTQ rights — alleges that if Beshear wins re-election in November, non-affirming parents will soon lose custody of their children. In the ad, “Dinner Table,” a mother, father, and teenage girl are eating dinner when the teenager says, “Mom, Dad, I’m transgender. I think I might be a boy.”“Honey,” the mother says, “you know we love you no matter what, but, you’re a girl, so why would you say that?”A short-haired woman in a black blazer appears and interrupts her.“Whoa, whoa, whoa.
