Pete Hegseth has reportedly fired 20% of the military's generals, claiming, "No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors." This toxically masculine ethos sounds straight out of the handbook of Doug Wilson, Hegseth's Christian nationalist spiritual advisor.

I am the great-granddaughter, granddaughter, and daughter of Soviet dissidents. So believe me when I tell you that with all the righteous fury I can muster: Trump’s ploy is not a strategy for liberating Russian dissidents. It is a strategy for laundering a gift to Putin through the prison gates.

Interesting. Thank you, America.gov!
Screenshot of America.gov answering whether the Trump administration has arrested any of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients or co-conspirators during Trump’s current term. It says no arrests could be verified and cites a July 2025 DOJ/FBI review stating it found no incriminating “client list” or evidence sufficient to predicate an investigation of uncharged third parties.

Yes! What we’re seeing is the spread of a pervasive social norm where constant lurid expressions of misery and pessimism are de rigueur. People can’t see it because they’re part of it. But it’s obvious when you talk to groups who have every reason to be pessimistic, and they don’t have it.

It cannot be said any more clearly. Trump should have been arrested on January 20, 2021, and held without bail. Trump should be arrested now, or at least on January 20, 2029, if a Democrat wins. Let the justice system go to work. And if SCOTUS frees him, send him to prison in New York.
