Morning Wire
The Detransitioner vs. Home Depot

Soren, who Chloe mentioned, delivered her story to American Express's management and board of directors and all their shareholders at their shareholder meeting.

And so, you know, we're going to continue to drip this message and hold these companies accountable.

Morning Wire
The Detransitioner vs. Home Depot

This is an 80-20 issue, if not even more split than that.

Morning Wire
The Detransitioner vs. Home Depot

And so there's really no benefit to the companies and realizing that, look, the 80-20 split

in the American public's views, is essentially the same split amongst their shareholders.

Morning Wire
The Detransitioner vs. Home Depot

You can basically say that about 80% of our shareholders are vehemently opposed to providing these kinds of drugs and interventions to minors.

They're fomenting the very activities they're asking their donors to fight against is what the indictment ultimately is about.

Morning Wire
Why Is This Left-Wing Nonprofit Funding Hate?

Well, I think the clearest thing that relates to that in the indictment revolves around the 2017, everybody will remember, the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

Morning Wire
Why Is This Left-Wing Nonprofit Funding Hate?

And apparently SPLC was paying one of the members of the online leadership group that put that event on.

Morning Wire
Why Is This Left-Wing Nonprofit Funding Hate?

Apparently, that person was even acting at the behest of and direction of SPLC related to posts online and planning the event and even facilitating the transportation of some people to that event.

I think the DOJ has a lot more to prove there.

This is an indictment by a federal grand jury.
