@evanwch Every man out there is NOT my husband, father, brothers in law, sons, cousins, friends. Not ONE of them treat women like that. Not ONE barricade their girlfriend or spouse in a room, or physically manhandle them.
On Chris Hayes' show, Graham Platner denies physically hurting Lyndsey Fifield and her story in the NYT is "politically motivated":
"Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who is politically motivated."
“There are things in this [New York Times report] that I absolutely will take responsibility for and have been speaking about openly for months now, but those [latest] serious allegations are just not true.”

Ryan is just totally ignoring that there was physical abuse, that he broke DC gun laws, knew his tattoo was a Nazi one, and called women a very derogatory name. All of this is evidently excusable, just a guy being a guy, behavior according to Ryan.
The NYT story on Platner is out, and it does not remotely live up to the hype from Senate Republican operatives on here.
Neither here nor there, but to hear a lifelong Republican operative -- who co-hosted for years a popular DC podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel -- complain about a Democrat being too into assault weapons and axes is so disorienting.
I thought Dems were the snowflakes and Republicans were the rugged ones?
(Side note: when else should you sharpen an ax if not while watching TV?)
The impact of our failed education system just revealed itself in this congressional hearing, and it shows how incompetent people have become.
Bessent: "Who was the president during World War I?"
Rep. Chu: "I don't know."
This woman is a FEDERAL LEGISLATOR responsible for creating the laws that govern hundreds of millions and she doesn't know something this simple.
Incompetent children, all of them.
Spain, a NATO ally defended by the U.S. and host to a major U.S. Navy base, has now denied access to U.S. Merchant Marine ships not once, not twice, but THREE times for “ideological reasons”
Maybe it’s time to ask what exactly allies are for.
He travelled to Bosnia where he volunteered for an Al Qaeda offshoot.
Congress would be within its rights not to seat him.
Our enemies should have no expectation they can infiltrate us from within.
