The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

And they'll take away women's sports...

The Pentagon is relying on closed-door hearings to kick out transgender service members. An Army Reserve lawyer is one of the few who have seen how they really work.

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
It will never *not* be funny that America's Most Famous Draft Dodger stupidly salutes like he’s serving in the military during the national anthem instead of placing his tiny, bruised hand over his nonexistent heart.
🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”
Any "journalist" who goes to the White House Correspondents Dinner after Trump subpoenaed three New York Times reporters—simply for doing their jobs—should be ashamed. If, indeed, they have any shame.
Give MBS a nuke, what’s the worst that could happen?
Please stop feeling so disappointed about Messi and the way his team behaved during the final of the soccer World Cup. FIFA is a corrupt organization and has been for decades. Stop elevating professional athletes to the status of heroes, and then feel disappointed when you find out they are jerks.
McBride: Donald Trump and his entire administration—it’s like a borderline homoerotic Greek or Roman trilogy that we’re watching. It’s absolutely obvious. These insecure people are playing out their masculinity insecurities for the entire country to see.
Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).
Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview
The governor said he received the information from diffrent agencies but did not say which during the July 15 interview.

No matter which conspiracy theories Trump peddles tonight, we know he's just trying to come up with an excuse for unprecedented election sabotage. Trump is desperate, and the GOP will do everything they can to cling to power. The way we stop them is by getting into election protection formation.

I will not be listening to opinions on gender and biology from those who think women originated from a rib cage…
Any US Senator who votes for Todd Blanche advocates for sexual predators. Full stop.
Pete Hegseth seems *obsessed* with the appearance of the men in our military. He monitors how much facial hair they have. He wants them to get bigger muscles by doing pull-ups. And now he wants them to take testosterone. Is he running a military or a stable of porn actors?

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

This giant banner is real. It’s not AI. I don’t believe that Iran is begging him for a deal.
Oh, *do* shut up, you white supremacist dork. And why don't you call your children—if only for the novelty?
Maybe we could just get a photo of Mitch holding a newspaper with today’s date on it.
