It’s election night. Do you really care? Well, I still hope you voted.
The Right in Los Angeles just showed the Left how you should REALLY protest!
And let’s talk about the ridiculous trans story of the day (there are actually two) because, hey, it’s Pride Month.
Big Election Tonight
Things could really get shaken up for November elections tonight. Here are the primary elections to pay attention to.
- In Iowa, incumbent Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking another term, and there are two Republicans and two Democrats in the running to take the position. The winners of the Tuesday primary in Iowa will advance to the general election. US Rep. Ashley Hinson has campaigned with support from Ernst and is running against former state Sen. Jim Carlin, who has talked about his legislative experience and donor independence. For the Democrats, Rep. Josh Turek is running against state Sen. Zach Wahls in the primary.
- For California Governor. The top contenders from each party appear to be Democrat Xavier Becerra, who served as former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Republican Steve Hilton, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump. Other Democrats in the race include billionaire Tom Steyer, Katie Porter, and others.
- In Montana, Republican Senator Steve Daines is not seeking a third term and has endorsed US Attorney Kurt Alme to replace him. Trump has also endorsed Alme. He also has endorsements from Tim Sheehy and Gov. Greg Gianforte.
I Love This Idea!
What biased reporting:
- Protest vs. privacy.
- A stunt.
- The protester is masked.
- They care about funding.
- They care about the kids now?
- This crosses a line?

It’s Not a Right
A Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service, a divided panel of federal appeal court judges ruled on Monday.
The majority opinion by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit largely upholds a March 2025 ruling by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C. Reyes concluded that President Donald Trump’s executive order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violates their constitutional rights.
The administration appealed after Reyes issued a preliminary injunction requested by attorneys for six transgender people who are active-duty service members and two others seeking to join the military. The appeal court’s majority decided that the injunction should be narrowed to the plaintiffs currently serving in the military but not those seeking to join.
The ruling won’t immediately go into effect, allowing the administration time to ask the full appeals court to hear the case.
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect last year, as litigation continues to play out. Another lawsuit challenging the ban was filed in Washington state and led to a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs challenging the policy in that case.
Ridiculous
According to the Post Millennial:
Outdoor retailer Patagonia has revealed that it has offered to resolve its lawsuit against a drag queen that goes by the name “Pattie Gonia” so long as he ceases using the company’s branding in products. The drag queen has refused the company’s offer.
“There’s a lot going around about the lawsuit we filed in January to protect our trademarks, and we owe you an update,” Patagonia wrote in a social media post on Sunday.
“We wish this lawsuit had not been necessary, and we want to acknowledge any hurt it has caused, especially in the LGBTQ+ community. We don’t want to argue trademark law on social media. Importantly, we continue to want to resolve this.”
The company said it would resolve the lawsuit if the drag queen agrees to withdraw “all trademark applications,” cease using the brand’s longtime logo, and cease “selling and promoting apparel and other products as Pattie Gonia.”
“If we can agree on this, we can work out everything else, and Pattie Gonia could continue as a performer and activist. We share common ground with them, including the goal of saving our home planet and creating a more inclusive outdoors,” the statement concluded.
The drag queen responded in a statement to social media on Monday evening, writing, “Patagonia just posted their ‘offer’ to settle. When I told you that they were trying to erase my advocacy, their bullet #3 is what I was talking about: ‘Stopselling and promoting apparel and other products as Pattie Gonia.'”
“Patagonia is not just talking about my upcycled t-shirt merch in that bullet point. They’re talking about the partnership work with other brands that I’ve done for years to pay for the education, advocacy and activism that me and my team do,” the drag queen wrote. “If I can’t do partnerships as Pattie Gonia, it breaks the whole ecosystem of advocacy and community engagement. And they understand this because their work is built on the exact same model – advocacy work funneled through commercial work.”
“Bullet points #1 and #2 – I’ve already said I would agree to. Bullet #3 – absolutely not. No deal, Patagonia,” the drag queen concluded.
Patagonia sued the drag queen in January over a trademark application filed by Pattie Gonia, whose real name is Wyn Wiley, alleging that it will “confuse consumers” and cause irreparable harm to the brand. The brand said that the products and services for which Wiley applied for a trademark “compete directly with the products and advocacy upon which Patagonia built its Patagonia brand for over the last fifty-three years.”
The company claimed that they had reached out to Pattie Gonia and it was “understood that the parties had reached agreement about how that advocacy work might continue in a way that would not interfere with Patagonia’s brand.” This agreement, the filing stated, has not been honored.
