She's had some great talking points lately, but at the end of the day, she's still an evil hag.
While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

Oh, how things might have unfolded differently...
The beginning
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

This is powerful enough to inspire even more outrage... and rightfully so.

This is... stunning.
"Two survivors, shirtless, clung to the hull, tried unsuccessfully to flip it back over, then climbed on it and slipped off into the water, over and over."

"Then Adm. Frank M. Bradley ... gave an order for a follow-up strike. Three flashes of light filled the video screen. And the men were gone."
NYTimes adds: "But the video did not show any radios or satellite phones, according to the people familiar with the briefings, and a surveillance plane apparently did not spot any nearby boat."

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

"Abandoning the global order without considering what will take its place is the height of folly."
COMMENTARY: Donald Trump has dismantled a global order built over decades — one that brought Americans unprecedented prosperity, security and freedom, writes Ivo Daalder, a former US ambassador to NATO.

"It’s too easy to say, Nothing matters, LOL, Supreme Court. But it matters a lot to have a judge say that the DHS officers themselves incited violence. They created violence and then they answered it with their own violence. And I think that is the moral of the story." @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

Now we see what Trump decides to do with it.

Note however that we have a VETO PROOF MAJORITY in both houses of Congress.

This? This fresh hell?
feel like not nearly enough people are talking about this — apparently the democratic “yes” votes have effectively agreed to having the u.s. government write 6 republican senators $500k checks?
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

On Sunday, Senate Democrats caved.

Hard to express how disappointed I am. Personally.

The betrayal of America as a People was crushing. The surrender was total. The message was clear.

Current Democratic leadership can NOT be counted on in this moment. So they need to go. Schumer needs to go.
This is called missing the plot, and it will earn you an INSTANT block.

Indivisible, MoveOn, Our Revolution and more have tonight launched a plan to tank any candidate not calling for Schumer’s removal over this.

Get with the program. We all know who caved. We all know what this is.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.

Here’s what we all need to prepare for.
