When all these tradwife influencers start pivoting away from their alt-right branding in the next few years, never forget they were on this fascist bandwagon to line their pockets at the expense of every other woman in this country.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Show up. And reminder that if we fight hard enough and take House and Senate- we need both - it is equivalent of landing on the beaches of Normandy You don’t breath a sigh of relief when you land and take control of the beach You have the entirety of Europe to cross. Understand the gravity

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?

My foundational belief in politics & in life, which most national political reporters seem to not get: People do what they want to do. They don't do what they don't want to do. Republicans twice elected a criminal child rapist President because they wanted to, not because Democrats 'made them'.

It is shockingly instructive that the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9/11 were used to justify radical changes in our society which harmed millions and persist today, but the deaths of over 1 million people from COVID are seen as trivial. Deep sickness and rot within our society.

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.
