Helen Gahagan Douglas in SHE (1935), a performance that inspired the villainess in SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937)
HGD was BOTD in 1900. A passionate advocate for migrant workers, she ran against Richard Nixon for senator in 1950 but lost after he accused her of being a communist.

Are they doing this for those of us who don't have asshole uncles to sit next to on Thanksgiving?
Fox is now claiming that Rep. Slotkin is a CIA asset in a “destabilization op,” controlled by “deep state handlers,” because she reminded service members to follow the law. They even suggest she’s unwitting of her own “mission,”

The entire justification for cozying up to power is for the access doing so grants the reporter.
Most of you have already been replaced by white supremacists and trad-adjascent influencers.
If you're not getting the access, at least get loud.

Why are reporters sitting there and taking this? Grow a fucking spine
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

The antisemitism is the thing, obviously, but do take half a second to note "Democrat Party"
In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Okay but his policies are the one thing worse than his personality
GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

I seriously wonder if the thinning among the alt-MAGA movement is that Trump/Vance will be so toxic by 2028 that a conservative candidate will need a swatting incident in their history as a badge of honor to be considered

this tawdry Olivia Nuzzi stuff highlights why I’m turning into a small-c conservative with regards to “it is unseemly and shameful for people in positions of power and influence to subject the public to their messy-ass sex nonsense on a constant basis”

Why reinforce the "okay with everything but the worst of the worst sexual assault" wing of the democratic party instead of building an anti-pedophilia branch of MAGA?

The evangelical number is so staggering I struggle to believe it's accurate. Evangelicalism had a death hold on 41 ~ 43 percent of Americans from the early 1990s (at least) through 2018!
To have shed nearly half their adherents in under a decade is... yeah, I'm still unable to really believe it

More US adults identify with no religion (29%) than with the Catholic Church (19%) or evangelical Protestant denominations (23%).

It's one thing for the establishment to throw its support behind a fratty labrador retreiver who was horny for war in the Middle East.
It could very well be a different thing when a brutish pedophile wants to cum destruction on a country most Americans don't think about more than twice a year.

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

I am disappointed by this turn of events only in a much as I truly wanted MTG to lock up the non-Trumpian wing of MAGA by literally kicking Boebert's ass on C-SPAN.
