Just had a text conversation w/a friend who’s an engineer. A male colleague apparently tried to challenge her today about women’s independence by asking, “If there were no men, who would protect women?” She replied, “If there were no men, from whom would we need protection?” Had to share!

Once again, GOP sides with Trump over Epstein survivors. Blanche was just as responsible, if not more, than Bondi for the harm done to these woman by the botched rollout of the files. I really don't wanna hear GOP/MAGA talk about protecting women and girls from trans folks. @deadder.bsky.social
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Some folks still do not understand how genuinely evil Elon Musk is. You will. Count on it—you will.
Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period. A *disgusting* day.
Trump is spending… -$95M for “D.C. Beautification,” including $5M to paint bronze horses gold -At least $300M to construct his ballroom -Nearly $15M to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Meanwhile, millions of Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or healthcare. Priorities.

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
