This is incredibly important. I feel deeply that curbing sexual violence will come from raising social expectations of men, not from ‘educating’ them. I fear this is an unpopular view, because people are afraid to face up to the scale of the issue.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

NEW: Utah's Republican top election official said the Trump administration doesn't want to hear that noncitizen voting is a nonissue because it goes against its mass fraud narrative. The comment comes after the state found only 27 noncitizens out of over 2 million registered voters on the rolls.

Trump's must-run orders have prevented several fossil fuel power plants from closing, costing ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars, even though those plants are barely running, because their power is not economic. A pure example of large public cost for narrow private benefit.

POLITICO Pro: Trump rescued these fossil fuel power plants. Americans are paying for it.
The must-run orders have kept alive aging generators that are costly to run — and produce plenty of pollution.

The Republicans own this mess. I gave up on them in July 2025, when they—like sheep—voted for Russ Vought’s recission package that included all of the “DOGE” cuts, including the ones that killed 700,000 many of them children. You couldn’t get rid of USAID by passing a bill, so you blessed DOGE.

Another horrific category Tennessee is *leading* in under this GOP supermajority: YOUTH PRISONS “In contrast, Tennessee’s Dept of Children’s Services budgeted $360 MILLION to build 2 new facilities” (We can’t afford school lunches for all tho😕)

Across the Country, Youth Prisons Are Closing. This State Is Building More.
Tennessee officials say they need more high-security facilities for kids who commit crimes. Experts say this approach flies in the face of crime data and research that shows youth prisons are not reha...

Once again it's time to play, "Is he really this stupid or is he merely lying as usual?" Trump has zero interest in whether anything is true or not, so whether he actually believes this is irrelevant to his decision to say it. The only thing that matters is if he thinks it makes Trump look good.
