RUN THE ROCK<\/strong>. Campaign committee forms to run Dwayne Johnson in 2020<\/a>. \u201cThe paperwork\u00a0was filed by a man<\/a> named Kenton Tilford under a West Virginia address. Tilford\u2019s connection to Johnson and his motivation for filing the organization is not clear. Johnson has long joked about a White House bid, playing a buff Obama on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d and standing in front of podium\u00a0labeled<\/a>\u201cThe Rock Johnson 2020\u201d on the show in May. But he\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year that his run is \u201ca real possibility.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\nDELTA<\/strong>.

JIM ACOSTA<\/strong>. Sean Spicer attacks CNN reporter<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIf Jim Acosta reported on Jim Acosta the way he reports on us, he\u2019d say he hasn\u2019t been very honest,\u201d Spicer said. \u201cI think he\u2019s gone well beyond the role of reporter and steered into the role of advocate. He\u2019s the prime example of a [reporter in a] competitive, YouTube, click-driven industry,\u201d Spicer added. \u201cHe\u2019s recognized that if you make a spectacle on the air then you\u2019ll get more airtime and more clicks. .\u2009.\u2009. If I were a mainstream, veteran reporter, I\u2019d be advocating for him to knock it off. It\u2019s hurting the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/pence_hamilton.jpeg?resize=195%2C195\")
MIKE PENCE<\/strong>. Courting wealthy private donors<\/a>: \u201cThe centerpiece of the effort is a string of dinners held every few weeks at the vice president\u2019s official residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in Washington.

SIGNORILE<\/strong>. \u201cUndeniable\u201d that LGBTQ rights are in danger of being rolled\u00a0back<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThis is a vigorous attempt at a full-scale rollback by religious conservatives who\u2019ve been part of Trump\u2019s and the GOP\u2019s base, and it\u2019s already had some success. There is no denying it. Many are woke to it. But I\u2019m afraid far too many LGBTQ people are not, still wanting to revel in victories, pointing to polls and to progress globally. The United States, however, is right now led by an authoritarian whose party \u2015 always hostile to LGBTQ rights \u2015 has so far given him free rein to engage in destructive behavior against anyone and everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON<\/strong>. Anti-transgender ballot measure fails to qualify<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cAnti-equality activists spent hundreds of thousands of dollars attempting to pass a shameful ballot measure aimed at discriminating against LGBTQ people, but thanks to the fair-minded people of Washington State, they have failed,\u201d said Marty Rouse, HRC National Field Director. \u201cFor months, our opponents attempted to garner enough signatures to put the fundamental civil rights of transgender people on the ballot. Their failure is a victory for equality and validation of Washington\u2019s non-discrimination laws that ensure fair and equal treatment for LGBTQ people in housing, employment, and public accommodations. HRC was proud to work closely with the Washington Won\u2019t Discriminate campaign and will keep up the fight in Washington and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
