Jesse Watters seemed amused and pleased by the prospect of Trump holding public executions. A couple of weeks ago he joked that a woman who was murdered on a mountain top might have deserved it. It's no wonder Trump loves Watters so much.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be. “I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim. I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

The same day that Jessica Tarlov quoted Jesse Watters as "A political party can't survive selling fear," Dan Bongino offered a perfect example on Hannity. Fox News sells fear 24/7 365 days a year.

Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

When I was 19 I walked away from a full scholarship at a small college due to sexual harassment from three professors. They harassed multiple young women. I had to start over at a new school. I had to do work study, part time jobs and loans to finish school. #WeAreAllJaneDoe

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

Russia had a chance after 1991 to look forward. Instead it chose imperial maps and millions dead in the mud. It burned 21st-century wealth on a 19th-century map & threw away its 22nd century. The world is laughing at the “great power” drag itself back to the Stone Age. Credit: Caolan Robertson

NEW: Jean-Marie Delbos, 80, was sexually abused by a priest as a boy and had not been to Mass since. On Sunday, he went to Pope Leo XIV’s Mass at Lourdes. That evening, when the pope met him and other survivors, he was so moved that he made the sign of the cross for the first time in 60 years.
