Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s spiritual advisor, Doug Wilson, has expressed deeply misogynistic views about women, including women serving in the military. The person advising the head of the Pentagon should uphold respect and equality—not contempt for women. Demand accountability.

As the war in Iran stretches on, Donald Trump is in disagreement with the vice president, military leaders, and long-standing American allies—but also with reality itself, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily: theatln.tc/LYXjUDm1
Ossoff: "The president, surrounded by enablers in the West Wing, is playing golf, trading stock, & decorating his ballroom. It is a disgrace.

“Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.” ~Albert Camus

I truly believe in ten years not a single person will admit in polite company to having supported Trump. Honest to God I fully believe that
E. Jean Carroll won again today. There’s also something bigger here about truth, accountability & what happens when someone with enormous power tries to use it to make both disappear. I wrote about it here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

BINGO! James Talarico: "I have a legislative record, Ken Paxton has a criminal record. He doesn't serve us, he serves himself. Since taking office, he has become a multimillionaire on a government salary. His net worth has increased 7000% while the pay of Texans is the same."
Presidents wield enormous power, yet face no formal fitness certification. Future candidates should be required to release physical and cognitive exam results, with age limits for serving presidents—similar to age-based limits for FBI service—to ensure fitness for duty.
