JOE WALSH. Former Illinois congressman and Tea Party leader turned conservative radio host will challenge Trump for Republican nomination in 2020: “He’s nuts. He’s erratic. He’s cruel. He stokes bigotry. He’s incompetent. He doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Walsh told ABC’s “This Week.” The longshot portrayed himself as a legitimate alternative in party where he said many are opposed to Trump but are “scared to death” of saying so publicly.

G7. Trump a no show on meetings about climate. “When it comes to the Paris Agreement, we know his position, it has always been clear, and it is not an objective of the French presidency to convince him otherwise,” Macron said. “We did have that objective at the outset prior to his withdrawing from the agreement, but it was not our objective at the G7.”

Trump said Miami would probably host the meeting because of the convenience of the airport.’

AMAZON. Pope Francis urges prayer to extinguish fires: “Let us pray so that, with the efforts of all, they are controlled as quickly as possible.”

NEGATIVE INFORMATION. Trump allies digging up personal information on journalists critical of Trump: “The report claimed that a network of conservatives allied with the White House is pursuing an aggressive operation designed to discredit news organizations that are deemed hostile to the president by publicizing damaging information about journalists. Citing four sources familiar with the plan, the report found that the group has compiled dossiers of potentially embarrassing social media posts and other public statements by hundreds of people who work at some of the country’s most prominent news organizations.” NYT. A campaign targeting our staff…

THE ETERNALS. Marvel chief Kevin Feige reveals more about the gay character in the upcoming The Eternals: “The Eternals will feature Marvel’s first openly gay character. He’s married and has a family and it’s part of who he is.”

‘Will & Grace’ may end with this devilishly handsome returning love interest

Looks like Will Truman may get his happily-ever-after. Matt Bomer, who plays “America’s hottest gay news anchor” McCoy Whitman on Will & Grace, will return for the 11th and final season of the NBC sitcom, TheWrap reports.

The Magic Mike actor has appeared in four episodes so far, starting in Season 10, when Will (Eric McCormack) played dumb to woo him. Once the guys got past the games, though, they started dating in earnest, and Will asked McCoy to marry him in the season finale.

Also returning for Season 11 are Blythe Danner, who has played Will’s mom throughout the series, and Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer, who guest-starred in Season 10 as a Trump-hating bakery owner.

Meanwhile, Bomer is also starring in the DC Universe series Doom Patrol, playing gay superhero Larry Trainor a.k.a. Negative Man, and he’ll star in the third season of USA’s The Sinner.

Plus, you’ll see him on Netflix soon: Ryan Murphy is bringing a film adaptation of the Broadway play The Boys in the Band to the streaming service. The actor previously collaborated with Murphy on Glee, American Horror Story, and The Normal Heart. There’s no such thing as too much Matt Bomer, though!

HRC Endorses Senator Tina Smith for Reelection

HRC announced its endorsement of Sen. Tina Smith for reelection. 

This endorsement marks HRC’s first Senate endorsement of the 2020 cycle and underscores both the importance of reelecting Sen. Smith and preventing known anti-LGBTQ extremist Rep. Jason Lewis from bringing his harmful views to the Senate. Sen. Tina Smith has been a steadfast ally for the LGBTQ community throughout her history in public service. Just one week after joining the Senate in 2018, Smith signed on as a co-sponsor of the Equality Act, crucial federal legislation that would finally guarantee explicit, permanent protections for LGBTQ people under our nation’s existing civil rights laws. Prior to joining the Senate, Smith was integral in the push for statewide marriage equality in 2013 and helped pass anti-bullying legislation. In Minnesota, HRC has identified more than 600,000 voters as likely “Equality Voters,” meaning they are strong supporters of progressive LGBTQ policies including marriage equality, equitable family law, and laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

“Senator Tina Smith has been one of our community’s most ardent advocates in the United States Senate, and we’re proud to stand by her side as she runs for reelection,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “From co-sponsoring the Equality Act to pushing for marriage equality in Minnesota, Senator Smith’s long history of support for LGBTQ families stands in stark contrast with Jason Lewis, who compared LGBTQ people to rapists and criminals. The Human Rights Campaign is committed to mobilizing the more than 600,000 Equality Voters across Minnesota to send Tina Smith back to the U.S. Senate to continue our work moving equality forward for all Americans.”

“I’m proud to work alongside the Human Rights Campaign – a leader in the continued fight for LGBTQ+ equality – and honored to have their support,” said Senator Tina Smith. “Congress must pass the Equality Act and ensure that LGBTQ+ Americans are protected in the workplace, in school, at home or wherever they are in the public sphere. It’s time for the Senate to take action. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and I look forward to continuing to work with the Human Rights Campaign to pass these critical protections for LGBTQ+ Americans.” 

Throughout his time in Congress, Rep. Jason Lewis never earned more than a 0 on HRC’s Congressional Scorecard. But his time before he entered Congress is even more troubling. While a radio host in Minnesota, Rep. Jason Lewis spewed horrifically anti-LGBTQ extremist language and opinions. He compared LGBTQ people to rapists, criminals, and polygamists. He also alleged that same-sex parents were potentially harming their children by identifying as LGBTQ. In a move of poetic justice, Lewis was ousted by LGBTQ mother, HRC-endorsed now-Rep. Angie Craig.
