A half-naked boy criticizing a fully dressed girl? Weird. Stop raising sons who think they have the right to police women’s bodies. Teach them not to objectify or sexualize women, including their own SISTERS.

Men don't wanna wear condoms.
Men don't wanna get vasectomies.
Men don't want women to have abortions.
Men don't wanna raise the kids.
Men don't wanna pay child support.

So what exactly do y'all want? Unlimited access to women's bodies with absolutely ZERO responsibility? Be fucking serious.

He becomes the first Democrat to be elected governor of Alaska since 1998.

If you thought the USS Lincoln was the only one, think again.

🚨BREAKING: Now it’s the USS George H.W. Bush.

Sailors going months without fresh food. Suicide attempts. Families at their breaking point. Deployments potentially stretching to a YEAR, with no clear end in sight.

This is what military families say they’re dealing with under Pete Hegseth’s leadership.

Our service members deserve better than this. So do their families.

This is beyond cruel.

5.5 million Americans have already lost SNAP since Trump took office.

Now, he wants to rip food assistance away from 6 MILLION more who are already struggling to get by because of his sky high gas prices and chaotic tariffs.

Congress needs to stop this.

22 years ago today, my life was forever changed when the helicopter I was co-piloting was hit by an RPG. I wouldn’t have lasted the hour if it weren’t for my buddies who thought I was dead but refused to leave my body behind. Waking up in Walter Reed 11 days later, I vowed to find a way to repay them, as well as all those who sacrifice so much for our nation.

Reflecting on that day now, it sickens me to my core how much this Administration exploits today’s heroes. Our brave troops will always answer the call to serve. Our nation’s leaders owe it to them to ensure the missions we ask them to carry out are justified. The President has still failed to tell our servicemembers why his illegal war is worth their sacrifices, how long they’ll be asked to remain overseas and what his plan is to bring them home safely.

Enough is enough. As Congress negotiates the next funding package, I refuse to accept a deal that continues to hand Donald Trump billions toward waging his disastrous, illegal and out-of-control war. Congress wields the power of the purse, and we cannot allow one more cent to go toward a war the American people have made clear they do not want and that their elected representatives never voted for.

There's something fishy going on in Alabama. Their state legislature set aside $1.3 billion to build 2 new "mega-prisons," but the construction of just the first facility has ballooned in price and devoured almost the entire $1.3 billion budget by itself. Total estimates for both projects have now expanded to $2.2 billion.

That comes out to $300,000 per bed.

The speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives called on the construction to be paused because costs are spiraling out of control, but Alabama's governor Kay Ivey rejected that request. Even high-ranking Republicans in Alabama are unhappy with this.

A single construction project involving mass incarceration has doubled in cost and fallen years behind schedule with little to no public oversight. I smell a much bigger story involving criminal activity, mismanagement, and financial corruption. And the consequences of this are putting Alabama further and further into debt.

Alabama is on a stretched budget with limited revenue streams. Spending $2.2 billion on 2 buildings meant for mass incarceration blatantly wastes funds that could otherwise go toward public education, food, rural hospitals, or housing. This should be much bigger news.

Alabama was offered the option of working with the Justice Dept to fix the abuses in its prison system when the issues were first brought to light. Instead, they became the first state to force DOJ to sue them. Well, men continued to die and live in constitutionally deficient conditions. Alabama chose to build new prison instead of fixing documented problems, follow the money.

$25 Million NVIDIA SPY GATE
Back in October 2025, Senator Tom Cotton sent Lutnick a formal letter warning him about Megaspeed, the Singapore-based company suspected of helping divert billions of dollars in Nvidia AI chips to China. Cotton raised serious national-security concerns and demanded an investigation.
Lutnick was Commerce Secretary. He was being told directly.
Nvidia’s own general counsel had already contacted Lutnick’s undersecretary about the investigation. Meanwhile Jensen Huang had been invited by Lutnick to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago. By the time Trump was reportedly briefed on the intelligence concerns involving Alice Huang and Jensen, Lutnick still hadn’t acted.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly confronted him over the failure to put Megaspeed on the Entity List. Commerce disputes that account.
So what did Lutnick know, when did he know it, and why did his department fail to act on repeated warnings about a company at the center of a major national-security investigation?
Tom Cotton put him on notice. Congress needs to find out what happened next.
This is about national security, billions in American technology, and the people responsible for protecting it.
