"The president frequently touts trillion-dollar figures as evidence that his “America First” economic agenda is working, but those numbers are outright lies, experts say." FIXED IT FOR YOU!

The hatred men have for women in this country is out of this world. And everyone sees it but them. Smh. Absurd. These tools aren’t lonely enough.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

As a man of faith, I find Pete Hegseth's twisting of Scripture abhorrent. Hegseth has been citing the Bible to justify Donald Trump's illegal war, but those very same scriptures say something quite different. Let's take a look. (link below)

You paid for it. You didn't order it. You can't return it. Three White House TV ads, a month before the midterms, starring one man: Trump. “Paid for by the US Government" means paid for by YOU. PSA or campaign ad? You decide.

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

Donald Trump is not a political genius or a genius of any kind. He ran for president out of pure narcissism and accidentally tapped into a thick, rich vein of American stupid.

Hey Premier of Italy- let's go to Pizza Hut and see what you think! 🤦‍♀️ That's not a fun, humanizing story, Mike. You're saying that Trump likes to humiliate us by infantilizing foreign leaders & assuming that they are as enamored by American fast food slop as he is.

DoorDash bribed Cuomo with $1M for his mayoral campaign. Mayor Mamdani rejected that cash and just made history with $131.5M settlement for DoorDash drivers screwed out of their wages — the largest worker settlement in US History. This is what leadership looks like. ❤️✊🏽
