There are a lot of unhinged takes about it from both sides but the NY Times podcast by Azeen Ghorayshi on youth gender medicine, The Protocol, is a great rundown. A deeply sympathetic look at both the science and how it became so fraught and political.

Translating this from PR to reality: Alber Breer said last week Rodgers was touchy about criticism last year when he ditched Jets minicamp to vacation in Egypt. So Rodgers had a deal with the Steelers but didn't want to sign yet so he could travel without being criticized.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Steelers never wavered in their belief that Aaron Rodgers eventually would sign with Pittsburgh. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin loomed large in this entire situation.

There's also no shortage of millionaire and billionaire libertarians funding the Cato Institute, Federalist Society, Ayn Rand Institute, Mercatus Center, Campaign for Liberty, NRA, Americans for Tax Reform, US Chamber of Commerce, State Policy Network, and major political PACs.

America is the only rich country without universal health care, guaranteed paid leave, easiest country to fire someone, best free speech and gun rights, etc. Libertarians don’t have as much power as they want (who in politics does?) but they have plenty of influence.

MTG and Thomas Massie coming out hard against Trump's policy bill banning states from regulating AI for 10 years. They say it could be used to let AI data centers break zoning laws and set up next to residencial areas, or make states powerless to protect human jobs.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG

I read it worse than that. I’m not voting for the development of skynet and the rise of the machines by destroying federalism for 10 years by taking away state rights to regulate and make laws on all AI. Forcing eminent domain on people’s private properties to link the future

As an antitrust reporter there was this ongoing strange phenomenon where the Biden admin would take bold pro-worker & pro-consumer moves - suing big tech, banning non-compete agreements, taking on predatory payday lenders etc - and KJP would be unwilling or unable to promote it.

David Weigel @daveweigel

Here and in Politico, Biden WH vets still keeping anonymous as they trash KJP. But you can read between the lines. Took no time at all for WH reporters to find the Biden WH vets who would say this. And no one emerging to defend her.
