DescriptionPresident Trump’s actions against transgender Americans have been stunningly wide-ranging. They’ve also been popular.

Trump has sought new restrictions on trans people in sports, schools, the military, prisons and medical care, and in government documentation. And a recent poll found that a majority of Americans approve of how Mr. Trump is handling trans issues — far above how he is handling his presidency generally. On trans-related issues, Americans’ opinions have moved right since 2022. What led the trans-rights movement to suffer not just a major electoral loss, but also a sweeping loss of public support?

Sarah McBride is a freshman congresswoman from Delaware, where she was previously a state senator. And she is the first openly transgender member of Congress. In our conversation, Representative McBride reckons with the trans rights movement’s shortcomings, what liberalism should look like in a profoundly illiberal time and how to win hearts and minds through a politics of “grace.” It’s the most stirring defense of the practice of politics — with all its compromises and disappointments and frustrations — I’ve heard in some time.

My Congressman is a Weiner: Does receiving money from AIPAC automatically mean support of genocide?

It does not in the real world.

Mr. Politics: It does not in the real world.

Literally going to ignore the video of Sarah McBride saying she will always stand with Israel after a year and a half of Genociding the Palestinians


Or the fact that she is cosponsering a bill that makes the US more close to the Israeli Military systems, said systems that have been used to literally genocide 50,000 Palestinians
