Kristen Holmes at CNN:
Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, was selected by the Florida GOP as an at-large delegate for Florida at the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by CNN. Barron, who turned 18 in March, joins several other family members – Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump – who were also selected. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s longtime friend and luxury real estate developer, along with Trump ally Sergio Gor are also listed as delegates. CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment. NBC News was first to report on Barron Trump’s selection. Before Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial began, his attorneys had asked for May 17 off so that he could attend Barron’s graduation. The judge last month said things were moving quickly enough that he was comfortable having no court that day so Trump could attend the graduation.
The Republican National Committee will hold its convention in Milwaukee in July. Last month, the RNC asked the Secret Service to keep protesters farther back from the convention than is currently planned.
The Florida GOP has selected their at-large delegates for the RNC in Milwaukee this July. Some of the notable selections: Barron Trump, Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Donald Trump Jr. has admitted that he personally signed one of the hush money checks now at the center of his father’s arrest on criminal charges. The former president’s son told right-wing network Newsmax that part of Mr. Trump’s indictment on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records refers to his own actions.
“That son is me. Like I said, clearly also not a campaign finance violation if it’s from his own trust, not to a campaign, not from the campaign, not from the funds raised from it,” he said.
“So, none of it actually makes any sense.”
In the criminal indictment unsealed on Tuesday, prosecutors allege that a check made out to Mr. Trump’s former “fixer” Michael Cohen was falsely recorded as a “retainer” in the Trump Organization’s business records.
The check was signed by former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg – who is now in Riker’s Island on a fraud conviction – “and the Defendant’s son, as trustees”.
The son in question was not named in the charging documents but Don Jr. later confirmed it was him as he joins his father in railing against the charges. Don Jr. has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the criminal case and the payment itself is not illegal.
Instead, prosecutors allege that a crime was committed when this payment – and many others – to Cohen were falsely recorded in the Trump Organization’s business records. The crime then reaches the level of a felony when the falsified records were made while in commission of another crime.
According to Manhattan prosecutors, Mr. Trump and Cohen carried out a “catch and kill” scheme in the lead-up to the 2016 election. Cohen allegedly made hush money payments on Mr. Trump’s behalf to suppress negative information about the presidential candidate. The payments were allegedly made to silence individuals over alleged affairs he had with women.
Mr. Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” the charging documents read.
Three specific alleged affairs and hush money payments were mentioned in the charging documents – a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, a $150,000 to former playboy model Karen McDougal and a $30,000 payment to a doorman at Trump Tower who claimed he had information that Mr. Trump had fathered a child with a woman while married to Melania Trump.
Mr. Trump then allegedly reimbursed Cohen but falsely recorded the payments as legal fees.
Back in 2019, Cohen testified before a House committee that Don Jr. signed some of the checks reimbursing him for the payment to Ms. Daniels. Cohen has already served jail time for his part in the hush money case and has now become prosecutor’s star witness in the case against Mr. Trump.
During Weisselberg’s trial last year, he testified that both of Mr. Trump’s adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric Trump, signed checks that he used to defraud authorities but insisted that no member of the Trump family played a part in his tax evasion scheme.
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in order to conceal illegal activity connected to his 2016 presidential campaign. Each of the 34 criminal charges relates to an individual entry in the Trump Organization’s business records.
Mr. Trump surrendered to Manhattan authorities on Tuesday afternoon and was officially arrested on the charges. He then appeared in court for his arraignment before Judge Juan Merchan – the same judge who sentenced the Trump Organization and its CFO last year. Cutting a glum figure, he defiantly pleaded not guilty to all the charges and has continued to lash out at the judge and Manhattan DA in the aftermath.

Noah Dowe and Pete Tsipis at MMFA:
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight Sean Strickland recently described being transgender as a “mental fucking illness.” Now, right-wing media is cheering him on, joining a larger trend of right-wing media platforming UFC fighters and figures who spread hateful rhetoric and conspiracy theories.
During a pre-match press conference on January 18, Sean Strickland launched into an anti-trans rant after a reporter asked him about his history of bigoted anti-LGBTQ comments. Strickland described being transgender as “a mental fucking illness” and called the reporter asking the question “an infection” and “the enemy.” [Bloody Elbow, 1/20/24]
Strickland has a well-documented history of making bigoted and sexist remarks. The former UFC champion has said that “society should never accept” trans people, that “the collective man group” needs to “elect somebody who is gonna put women back in the kitchen,” and that he would have “failed as a man” if he reared a gay son. [Twitter/X, 12/27/21, 10/26/23, 6/28/23] 
UFC President Dana White defended Strickland at the post-match press conference, saying, “If you get your feelings hurt that bad, you probably shouldn’t ask." He also said the fighter was “baited in that question.” Asked if he gives “a long leash” to fighters to say what they want, White responded, “I don’t fucking tell any other human being what to say, what to think. … Free speech, brother. People can say whatever they want and believe whatever they want.” [MMAJunkie, 1/21/24]
Right-wing media rush to the defense of UFC fighter Sean Strickland's bigoted anti-LGBTQ+ remarks.

Bobby Lewis at MMFA:
Within two weeks, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem went from a potential GOP vice presidential nominee to a pariah among right-wing media.  First, it was reported that her autobiography proudly tells of the time she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog Cricket, and then that there was no record of her alleged meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, also recounted in the book -- until it was removed after several painfully awkward interviews on the topic.  The typical response for a self-immolating conservative is a tour of friendly right-wing media outlets. But for Noem, even this is going poorly, with various on-air clashes and missed off-ramps, even though the most obsequious of hosts tried to walk her through the storm. Her book tour, now canceled, devolved into a circus of disastrous appearances in both mainstream and right-wing media.
Noem’s multifront collapse has right-wing media voices speculating about whether she “might be done” not just as a vice presidential contender, but potentially as a politician.  “The whole thing reeks of desperation,” said The Five co-host Jeanine Pirro, while others complained that Noem’s “delusional” and “scary” self-sabotage not only harms her but, perhaps worst of all, embarrasses Trump by association. “I’ve always been an advocate of a woman as a VP,” claimed War Room host Steve Bannon on April 29.  Appearing on Donald Trump Jr.'s Triggered podcast, Bannon began laughing as he explained that Noem was “maybe a little too based” for the job after “shooting the puppy in the gravel.”  “That was not ideal,” Trump Jr. said between laughing fits, an understatement of the backlash to come.
By the time of the May 6 edition of The Ben Shapiro Show, “it appears that Kristi Noem might be done,” said the eponymous host, “so that’s good.”  The Facts guest rapper added that “we need fewer clowns on the right.”  “Kristi Noem, who was at one point considered a vice presidential candidate,” Shapiro said, “it turns out that she spent the last two weeks claiming that it was good to shoot a puppy, a 14-month-old dog,” incredulously repeating her argument that “it was good to shoot the dog.”  “And also claiming that she met Kim Jong Un. So she had an awkward weekend,” he said, noting Noem’s remarkable suggestion that President Joe Biden should shoot his dog Commander. “It’s a unique approach to American electoral success, shooting dogs.”
[...] Trumpworld is full of unlikely political survivals and comebacks. But the gleeful, almost Trumpian manner in which right-wing media are mocking and attacking one of their own suggests that Noem may be in the doghouse for good. 
Right-wing media to Kristi Noem's VP dreams: drop dead.

Right-wingers seized on the mass shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday to push anti-trans rhetoric after authorities said the shooter, who was shot dead by police after killing three students and three adults, was transgender.
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) attacked transgender health care, asking on her congressional Twitter account: “How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?”
Tumblr media
“Everyone can stop blaming guns now,” the extremist lawmaker added.
On her personal account, Greene — no stranger to pushing anti-trans talking points — wrote: “The female Nashville shooter identified as a man. So shouldn’t we just blame white men again?”
Tumblr media
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, suggested that “rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids?”
Tumblr media
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said that “if early reports are accurate that a trans shooter targeted a Christian school, there needs to be a lot of soul searching on the extreme left.”
“Giving in to these ideas isn’t compassion, it’s dangerous,” the first-year lawmaker added.
Tumblr media
In a second post, Vance pushed the “thoughts and prayers” line that is a favorite response of pro-gun conservatives to mass shootings.
Tumblr media
Charlie Kirk, the founder of the right-wing youth group Turning Point USA, suggested that “instead of banning ‘assault rifles’ we should ban gender affirming care for kids.”
Tumblr media
And Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren and former Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka suggested the media would “bury” news about the shooting because of their gender identity.

All but four of the 172 shooters identified in mass shootings since 1996 are men, according to The Violence Project.
Trans people are four times more likely than cisgender people to experience violent crimes, including rape and assault, the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law found in a 2021 study.
The number of trans people slain in the U.S. more than doubled from 2017 to 2021, when 59 trans people were killed in homicides, advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety found in an analysis.
