Some news items you might have missed: • Boy Culture: Mitzi Gaynor (above), who graced the big screen in South Pacific and headlined Las Vegas stages and spectacular TV specials, died on Thursday at the age of 93 of natural causes. I probably became a performer myself thanks to her awesome TV specials. • The Advocate: Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz defends queer and trans youth at length in this interview with Glennon Doyle. • UAW: Donald Trump recently belittled auto workers, saying they just assemble parts “out of a box” and says children could do their jobs. This UAW member was not amused.

• Courthouse News: The state of Texas is suing a Dallas doctor alleging that Dr. May Chi Lau, who specializes in adolescent medicine, provided hormone replacement therapy to minors for the purpose of transitioning genders. In 2023, Texas banned hormone replacement therapy and other forms of gender-affirming care for minors. • Justice Department: Peter G. Moloney, 60, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of assaulting, resisting, and impeding certain police officers at the January 6 riots armed with a bicycle helmet, protective eyewear, hard-knuckled gloves, a face mask, and a can of “Black Flag Wasp, Hornet, & Yellow Jacket Killer” aerosol spray (which he used on police officers). •X: Donald Trump is still losing his mind that VP Kamala Harris had a successful interview on CBS News’ 60 Minutes. He’s posted similar rants like the one below over the last week and a half.
Is this another time when we are supposed to believe he’s sane and he really doesn’t mean these things? Can we check with Youngkin on that? Maybe Sununu? How about Brian Kemp? Mike DeWine? Nikki Haley? pic.twitter.com/pJvHBx1Tyo
