NEWS: Brett Shumate is out at DOJ.

This is a big one. Shumate has led the Civil Division, which includes the Federal Programs Bramch that does major defense work for the administration and affirmative litigation, since his confirmation last year.

Attorney General Todd Blanche Verified account @AGToddBlanche 2d

Today I accepted the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Civil Division. Under his leadership, the Division pursued important affirmative litigation to challenge sanctuary policies and delivered key wins in lawsuits against local policies that endangered federal law enforcement. The Division also secured historic settlements to end illegal corporate DEI practices and shuttered dozens of clinics which were providing so-called “gender affirming care” to minors. We are grateful for Brett’s service at DOJ and wish him continued success.

One can’t divorce the film from the theatre at its core. The film is more Angels in America than All Quiet on the Western Front and it’s better for it because of it!

NEW: Anti-trans ballot measures passed, even as trans candidates won in Tuesday’s blue tsunami.

What do these votes mean, and what happens now? A case for hope — and work.
