Watching that Cabinet meeting Trump dozed off constantly when other people were talking, but every time his name got mentioned he would wake up. Nothing else they said interested him in the slightest, but every time he heard his name he regained consciousness for a second.

NEW — RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme Christian creep within the federal government.

Mamdani met with Trump without normalizing him, and without backing down. @saletan explains how the New York City mayor-elect is trying to fight authoritarianism by fixing the material conditions that helped Trump rise in the first place.
What Mamdani Gets About Trump
When New York’s mayor-elect met with the authoritarian president, he didn’t waste time with denunciations. But he didn’t exactly hold back.

There WILL be elections in ‘26.
How can I be so sure?
Bc the GOP is trying like Hell to rig them right now.
While the #Midterms won’t be able to fix everything, it can stop the bleeding of our rights & freedoms.
‘26 will be a “Tourniquet Election” to stop America from completely bleeding out.

Most women my age have complicated sexual & reproductive histories. We felt guilt as “skanks” & “sluts” even if we were monogamous & had long-term partners. We went to sketchy doctors for our first birth control and were absolutely judged by them as they made a mint off of our minimum wage jobs.
