The openly gay candidate’s sex life is news. But this isn’t?
Chris Gallant’s 16-year-old BDSM photos became a national story. The curious living arrangement of two powerful MAGA Republicans gets a very different treatment.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

#ResistanceRoots Mary Hunter Austin was born on this day in 1868 in Carlinville, Ill. She was a writer, feminist, environmental conservationist and champion of Indigenous rights. Her life was shaped by the high desert landscapes she loved and battles over our most precious resource: water. /1
Mary Hunter Austin, by Charles F. Lummis, ca. 1900. Austin’s early writing is celebrated for its rich, mystical prose documenting the flora, fauna and Indigenous people of the high desert. Her environmental activism and Indigenous rights advocacy were driven by a mix of personal isolation, a lifelong rebellion against social conformity, and deep immersion in the landscapes and cultures of the American West. Rather than viewing issues in isolation, she developed a unified philosophy that rejected human dominance over both nature and women. Today, she is recognized as a pioneer of ecofeminism, nearly a century ahead of her time. Her later work explores how the exploitation of nature and the marginalization of women are rooted in the same societal power structures.
