The Democratic Party’s obsession with gender identity has reached a new level of desperation as more and more Americans reject the notion that men can become women — and vice versa — simply by insisting that they are. Now, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is taking the Trump administration on with a lawsuit intended to enshrine the state’s authority to allow male athletes to compete against women and girls. The Trump administration wasted no time responding with a scathing rejection of the case, as Fox News reported: “Why would a grown man sue the Trump administration to allow other biological males to participate in women’s sports? This is creepy and anti-woman,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital. Ellison made the announcement at a press conference after months of the state defying Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order. Ellison claimed he had received notice from the Department of Justice threatening legal action if the state did not follow the executive order. “I’m not going to sit around waiting for the Trump administration to sue Minnesota. Today, Minnesota is suing him and his administration because we will not participate in this shameful bullying,” Ellison said. “We will not let a small group of vulnerable children who are only trying be healthy and live their lives be demonized.” Research shows that the trans issue is quickly becoming toxic for Democrats, particularly in red or purple districts but even in reliably left-leaning areas of the country: POLL: Should transgender male athletes who identify as women be allowed to compete against women in sports?

The survey also found that 49% of Democrats and 71% of independents said that trans athletes should not be able to compete as the gender they identify with. The survey comes weeks after the state legislature’s Democrat supermajority voted to block a bill that would have required the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports, to adopt rules banning students who were born male from participating on a sports team for girls. But Minnesota isn’t the only state where the Trump administration has already encountered pushback:

As an adviser to Barack Obama and White House press secretary under Joe Biden, no one would expect Jen Psaki to present a sympathetic view of the GOP from her current role as an MSNBC host. Nevertheless, it came as a surprise to many when she offered a candid assessment of the cable news network’s obvious left-wing slant and bias against President Donald Trump. As the New York Post reported: “And, we’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive. I don’t think anybody watching expects it to be positive, right? There’s not like a North Star thing written on a card, and everybody does it slightly differently but I think that’s fairly the vibe.” Psaki noted that while she has featured Republicans on her cable news program, she’s never been directed by her bosses to appeal to right-leaning viewership. “I have not experienced this like, ‘You have to move to the center, you have to have Republicans on, you have to be more moderate, you can’t say that thing’,” she continued. “What’s unique is that every show kind of has a bit of a North Star, but the vibe is, kind of, under the same umbrella.” Psaki recently secured a new primetime slot as part of a massive shakeup at the embattled network – taking over 9 p.m. duties Thursday through Fridays from ousted host Alex Wagner in two weeks, the network announced in February. Of course, her work as a left-wing shill on MSNBC speaks for itself: NEW: Miguel Cardona – Biden’s failed Secretary of Education who once said he doesn’t “have too much respect” for parents speaking up about radical gender ideology in schools, is now crying on about losing control over the DEI cult in schools.

Jen Psaki, equally deranged, asked: “The need to cut DEI programs and the threat of cutting federal funding, how do you teach history to students if you have to cut out Black history… if you can’t do MLK celebrations… promote STEM for girls?” Cardona: “I had more control in curriculum when I was a fourth grade teacher than I did when I was Secretary of Education.” Then why were you pushing radical gender theory, CRT, and anti-American garbage nationwide? Defund every DEI program. Every single one. Her admission attracted an array of mockery and criticism on social media: Just to add a really important point @msnbc – when you customize your content for your viewer, it’s not news anymore. It’s just propaganda. Are you proud of that? Is the Peacock really proud to follow in the footsteps of Goebbels?? Really? — RagingMutton (@RagingMutton) April 22, 2025 Headline: “Jen Psaki promises her political coverage will be just as objective and unbiased as when she was the Presidential press secretary.” — Part-Time Idea Generator (formerly Susoporino) (@susoporino) April 23, 2025 Fox News also covered the story: MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted on Tuesday that her network’s liberal audience expects coverage of President Donald Trump that is “typically not going to be positive” as her role expands. Psaki is set to host MSNBC’s 9 p.m. ET program on Tuesdays through Thursdays once “The Rachel Maddow Show” returns to only airing on Mondays following President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Psaki, a former Biden administration press secretary, said MSNBC viewers expect the network’s primetime hosts to “talk about the opposition” without being particularly friendly to Trump. “We’re going to talk about what the opposing party is up to, in terms of Democrats, and we’re going to talk about future leaders and things. And, we’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive,” Psaki said on “The Grill Room” podcast with Dylan Byers. In case you’ve been missing her Biden-era catchphrase, here’s a compilation: And here’s some additional commentary regarding her most recent comments:

Gavin Newsom is accusing the Democratic Party of not yet performing a thorough autopsy on what went wrong in its devastating loss of the White House and Senate majority in November. In an exclusive sit-down interview with The Hill on Monday, Newsom said that if the party wants to find its way back from the wilderness, it has to be willing to look inward at what led to the losses — and the failure to win back the House majority. “We have not done a forensic of what just went wrong, period, full stop,” Newsom said. “I don’t think it, I know it. I mean, to the extent that I’m marginally part of this party, I represent the state larger than 21 state populations combined, and I can assure you there’s not been a party discussion that I’m aware of that has included the state of California.” Later in the interview, Newsom said he wasn’t sure what the Democratic Party truly represents, who is leading it or where it wants to go. “I don’t know what the party is,” he said. “I’m still struggling with that.” Newsom, who is widely seen as a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028, also used the interview to argue that his state is actually a microcosm of the rest of the country, and not just the land of Hollywood and Silicon Valley it is sometimes stereotyped as being. Governing the state, he said, has helped him get a better understanding of different Americas and different voters. “And I’ll remind you, for those that think California is just a coastal state, we have 150 percent more ag, hunting, forestry jobs than the next state, 150 percent larger. So, you know, you talk about America, we’re just America, only more so,” said the governor, who is term-limited and cannot run for reelection in 2026. “So, you know, talk about flyover states. My state of mind is deeply entrenched in this rural mindset as I go back over and over and over again in the Central Valley. It’s not helped me electorally, but it certainly helped me sort of create a sort of consciousness around that.” Newsom said there must be a period of reflection and accountability for the Democratic Party. “If you don’t learn the lessons of the past, you will repeat them,” said the governor, expressing some frustration with the lack of introspection by his party. “The fact that we’re not even stress-testing what the hell just happened and we’re having an honest forensic conversation” he said. What do you think? Are Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon — both of whom Newsom recently interviewed for his podcast — rubbing off on him? Is Newsom being genuine or just trying to grift and rebrand himself? Perhaps in preparation for a 2028 presidential run? Here’s what folks are saying about it online: Gavin Newsom is the embodiment of everything I hate about politicians. Nothing he says means anything is all lip service. — DeadSkeptical (@BeenThayer) April 22, 2025 Gavin Newsom, has no allegiance to anything other than financial and political advancement. Democrat donors are not prepared to infuse capital with a party in complete disarray so he’ll present positions that track as reasonable with those in charge of the purse. — TyphoonChicken (@TyphoonChicken) April 22, 2025 He’s still warming up — Western Civilization ? ✞ (@WesternEmpireX) April 23, 2025 Gavin Newsom is the most corrupt, incompetent Governor in California history.
