Trump commits it. Hegseth injects it. Jesse Watters jokes about it. Andrew Tate scales and monetizes it. The alpha male is a costume stitched together from insecurity, misogyny, and a need to dominate, rape, and dehumanize women.

I just read where someone said: “Historically, men never provide for women, they simply restricted women from providing for themselves.” Here we are again/still

Sen. Warren: "Americans across this country look out and say he's made $2 billion on crypto. His kids are out there scamming money off being related to the President of the United States.

John Roberts is one of the most successful proponents of white supremacist power in US history. It's every decent person's job to destroy his legacy.

The recent Supreme Court decision, which effectively killed the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, represents the life’s work of John Roberts. The Roberts Court has now gutted the VRA on three different occasions, and Roberts wrote or joined all those opinions.

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments. And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines. I’ll call that progress.

Trump has threatened to use the U.S. military to carry out acts of genocide against the Iranian people. Make no mistake: those that voted NO to the War Powers Resolution are actively endorsing that threat. Congress must exercise our power to end this chaos.

Shame on DoorDash for participating in Trump’s “no taxes on tips” scam. Aside from their D.C. DoorDash “Grandma” being a GOP operative from Arkansas, it’s mathematically impossible for her to have saved $11,000 in taxes this year as a result of Trump’s bullshit bill.

Ossoff: "Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are not destroyed. The regime is intact, along with its ability to throttle the global energy supply. Along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."

Melania Trump made an odd public denial today regarding Jeffrey Epstein. But she still hasn't held a news conference that her husband promised A DECADE AGO to explain her immigration history. Trump said in August 2016 that she'd meet the press “over the next couple of weeks.” Still waiting.

BLATANT LIE CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Karoline Leavitt: "Lebanon is NOT part of the ceasefire agreement". FACT: Literally the PM of Pakistan, who mediated the ceasefire, tweeted out that it WAS included. He's literally the one who witnessed the deal.
