Here’s what you all thought prior to yesterday’s debates:
President-elect Donald Trump has proclaimed that Richard "Ric" Grenell will be the Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, a government position seemingly created specifically to give Grenell something to do in the administration.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform on December 14, congratulating MAGA's main gay man on his appointment.
"In my First Term, Ric was the United States Ambassador to Germany, Acting Director of National Intelligence, and Presidential Envoy for Kosovo-Serbia Negotiations," Trump wrote. "Ric will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST."
Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly ordered the removal of tampons from men's bathrooms at the company's offices in California, New York, and Texas.
The tampons, initially included in men's bathrooms to cater to transgender or nonbinary employees who use such facilities, are one example of a deluge of virtue-signaling moves taken by Meta to placate conservatives as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.
Last week, CEO Zuckerberg announced that Meta would eliminate its third-party fact-checking system and replace it with a user-based "Community Notes" feature similar to the model employed by X.
Lawmakers in more than a dozen states have introduced at least 120 bills explicitly targeting the transgender community or seeking to roll back rights or legal protections for trans individuals, according to transgender journalist Erin Reed.
Reed, who has been tracking anti-transgender legislation for her Erin in the Morning Substack, reported that the number of bills introduced before the start of 2025 state legislative sessions is 120 -- a 50% increase from the 80 bills pre-filed before the start of the 2023 legislative calendar.
The bulk of the bills have been introduced in Texas and Missouri, but lawmakers in 11 other states have also embraced anti-transgender legislation as a priority for the upcoming year.
