Congratulations to Adm. Lisa Franchetti. She was just nominated by President Joe Biden to become the first woman ever to be the top officer of the U.S. Navy.
Not only will Franchetti be the first woman to lead the Navy if approved by the Senate, but she will become the first woman to be a US military service chief.
Quite the accomplishment!
She was nominated by Biden despite the fact that his Defense Secretary recommended someone else.
Now it’s up to the US Senate to approve her nomination.
Here is a video from 2021 of Franchetti congratulating the Winter Quarter graduates of the Naval Postgraduate School.
Do you support her nomination? Will we see the first woman to lead the Navy? What are your thoughts?
I don't know who needs to hear this, but slavery did NOT benefit any of our enslaved Black ancestors.
It only helped the slave masters who benefitted from hundreds of years of free labor, brutally and violently obtained, flesh, families, and cultures destroyed.
PERIOD.
For all the scolding of the left for calling SCOTUS illegitimate (which it is), let the record reflect that the first people to openly defy a ruling by it are…the GOP-controlled state legislatures of Alabama, who are refusing to redraw maps to better represent black constituents
“We are here because the highest court in the land has the lowest standard of ethics anywhere in the federal government.”

congratulations to the literally zero Republicans standing up to denounce Marjorie Taylor Greene for showing Hunter Biden revenge porn in the House of Representatives. take a victory lap, you gutless fucking cowards
Sometimes we mock trump.
Sometimes we call out his clown show.
Other days, the harm he’s caused
The pain he’s inflicted
The women he’s mistreated…
Reminds us.
Donald Trump can never be President again.
Outrageous.
Republicans just blocked my amendment to make Election Day a federal holiday so that parents and working Americans can get to the polls.
Once again I ask… what are my Republican colleagues so afraid of???
Mike Pence wants to force women to give birth to dead and non-viable fetuses
“I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it,” he says
Forcing us to carry dead fetuses in our wombs is the end result of evangelicalism
Reproductive terrorism is the end result of religious extremism
do I have this right? for four years we couldn't prosecute Trump because he was the president, and now we should just let him get away with it because he's running for president again? nice try, but we're not fucking idiots over here. this is some industrial-strength bullshit and I'm not having any of it
I really like Mayor Pete, or Secretary Pete.
He's one of the smartest guys in the room, he served our country in the military, and he's a good guy.
I'd vote for him to be President Pete Buttigieg one day in the future, easily.
🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: An Iowa mom stood up to testify at the Iowa Capitol and delivered an AMAZING speech slamming Republicans’ six-week abortion ban as “stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”
Felicia Hilton of Des Moines boldly confronted the Iowa State House and held nothing back:
Here is what Felicia Hilton directed at Republican Governor Kim Richards:👇
(Ending abortion is about religion?) Where are all these church people when (Governor Kim Reynolds denies) people healthcare? Where are they then?"
Hilton continued. "I'm just saying, if this is about the church, that this is about God, you are the same people that will slap them loaves of breads outta Jesus' hand. Slap out the fish outta Jesus' hand and tell them to get in line and figure out if they're worthy or eligible.
Are they eligible for this food, Jesus? Are they eligible for healing, Jesus? Are these people good enough? Is that what you're telling me in the state of Iowa, that you get to choose who this is?”
This is absolutely an offense to women. This is an offense to everybody, and it is offensive that you're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church. You're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church, but the church wasn't there when she's going to cut the food assistance from the federal government to people.“
🔥🔥🔥
The session's leader tried to cut Hilton off, but she was not having it. 👇
"Ma'am, it's been over three minutes," the man said.
"It doesn't matter. This is a lie. You guys are lying to yourselves and you're offending everyone, including God," Hilton fired back.
This state is ridiculous. The stupid, stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!
FBI Director Wray's testimony today before the House Judiciary Committee provided a stark reminder of just how much Republicans hate the FBI and federal law enforcement. Hearing GOP members of Congress spew their venom was quite revealing — and at times shocking.
Party of “law and order” my ass!
🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Merrick Garland just announced his department will NO LONGER DEFEND TRUMP in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Best part: Donald loses immunity.
This is HUGE. Full story 🧵👇
What's next: Donald will have trouble finding a lawyer to defend him, as he is notorious for cheating them out of their pay, refusing to cooperate, and being the worst person in the f**king world.
He's f**ked.
