History Will Not Be Kind To Joe Biden

To Republican lawmakers, the 2024 election results were the mandate they’d been hoping for to justify their attacks on transgender rights. After a historically anti-LGBTQ campaign cycle in which more than $200 million was pumped into anti-trans advertisements, GOP elected officials from Congress to state legislatures are feeling emboldened by Donald Trump’s victory—and moving fast to put the next wave of transphobic policies in place. Ohio is a case in point.

A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to help expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia. The official said “the pure math” of Ukraine’s situation now is that it needs more troops in the fight.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani raged against U. S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman Tuesday for refusing to postpone his trial so he could attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Following a court hearing in Manhattan, Giuliani told reporters that Liman "ruled against us on everything."

Giuliani accused Liman of being a "serious left-wing Democrat," despite his being appointed by Trump. "It's punishment for being the one who revealed first Joe Biden's 30-year criminality," he insisted.
