Hegseth claimed we need to “return to the male standard” in combat jobs, but there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period.

Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.

Has anyone seen Trump lately? He’s clearly unwell.
He better watch his back.

We've been ringing the alarm—JD Vance is next in line.
He's one sick, swollen heartbeat away from the presidency.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

An editor in a newsroom that mentally drew the line that they would call it fascism if he tried to mess with free and democratic elections is now doing mental gymnastics to not see him messing with free and democratic elections.

Elise Stefanik struggled to speak over boos at an event in her home district.

Cries included: "You sold us out!", "Shame!", and "Unseal the Epstein files!"

She left the podium after speaking for less than a minute and was booed again when she returned. www.thedailybeast.com/elise-stefan...

Trump and the GOP aren’t planning to steal the 2026 midterms using voting machines—they’re rigging the system itself. From gerrymanders to power grabs, the strategy is already underway.

Trump Plans To Steal the Midterms

Trump intends to undo the will of the voters in next year’s midterm elections. But there’s still time and a way to stop him.

Hey MAGA, if you’re outraged by a male cheerleader, wait until I tell you that Donald Trump’s name is in the Epstein files and now he’s refusing to release them.

From Seneca Falls in 1848 to ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, women fought and WON the right to vote after seven decades.

Today, MAGA is saying out loud what was once unthinkable—that it should be repealed.

Not only is Prager an insane propagandist, he’s a racist.
His revisionist history ilk has no place in classrooms.
