Every woman who comes forward and lays her trauma bare for the world to see does so hoping it will lead to a better world for women. It never does. And yet, we keep trying.

The media's dilemma: should we cover that a guy contemplating how to dispose of Jews is cited by the VP as an intellectual influence or write another piece about vague connections between Democrats and Hassan Piker? 🤔

Kimberly Guilfoyle has always pushed her luck in Trump world — this may have pushed things over the edge. And before you say this is how they all are — Trump doesn’t like finding out about this stuff from others. When he knows about it — he’s ok with it.

Russia killed five children in Pryluky. A Russian missile struck a residential building. At least 19 people were killed and 55 injured. Oleksandr, Kyrylo and Serhii were only one year old. Maksym was eight. Rescuers later found a fifth child beneath the rubble.

Since Trump took office, the personal saving rate has fallen from 5.7% to 4.1%, the lowest since 2022. With tariffs pushing up prices and real wages falling since the Iran War, families are dipping into savings to keep up.

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.

Bessent apparently thinks that the restaurant was going to reheat his half-eaten dinner and serve it to another customer. But crafty fellow that he is, he has foiled their plan!
When hecklers from the liberal group
Code Pink interrupted the Treasury secretary at a Washington restaurant in December and criticized the Trump
administration's economic sanctions policies, Bessent called them ignorant and erupted at the owner of the restaurant for not removing them.
According to the owner and also a nearby diner, Bessent spit in his own food before leaving
"When people legitimately question what he's doing he falls back on ad hominem attacks," said Myrow, the
managing partner at Beacon Policy
Advisors. "People want someone in that role who's less thin skinned and seen as almost boring."

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.
Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

I guess this is what happens when AIPAC-AI writes your talking points without any human in the chain to check for basic humanity. David Valadao (R-CA-22) literally says that military aid to Israel helps the US because the money goes to the production and TESTING of American weapons systems.

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

“Vandalize the demographics of America” is either a chilling phrase suggesting that Mullin is a white nationalist or an absurdly meaningless bit of pablum  which ignores 250 years of the constantly shifting demographics of a nation of immigrants.

Underneath is a picture of Mullin with a quote "How do you turn a country from democracy to socialism? You have to change the demographics."
