Donald Trump recently called Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico "whacked out" for supporting trans people.
The president called in to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade's radio show, where Kilmeade asked if Trump had decided whether to endorse Attorney General Ken Paxton or incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the state's Republican primary. Both Cornyn and Paxton are opponents of LGBTQ+ equality.
Trump then ranted about Talarico's acceptance of trans people and seemingly referenced a 2021 speech Talarico gave in which he declared, "God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary."
"The insult to Jesus," Trump continued, likely referring to the 2021 speech. "I mean, such an insult... He is so woke. He's beyond woke. He's actually, I think he's grossly incompetent... When you see what this guy said about gender and about other topics..."
Republicans have already shown that they are likely to rely on their opposition to transgender rights in the 2026 midterms, hoping that voters will look past economic and other substantive issues and vote to take away rights from trans people. Conservatives in three blue/purple states have pushed to put transgender rights on the November ballot, while red state Republicans pass even more extreme anti-trans legislation to keep the issue in the headlines.

We must contact our representatives at the State and Federal levels to let them know that the cost of living: food, gas, medical care, and housing affects all Americans.
Transgender people are 1% of the population in this country, and targeting their civil rights is not only unjust, but it also ignores the needs of the other 99% of people who live here.
It isn't difficult to figure out the priorities for legislation. It is not depriving people of medical care, access to bathrooms, or the opportunity to play on certain sports teams when the rest of the country is late on their rent/mortgage because they can't afford medicine or gas to get to work.
