About Pete Hegseth’s talk about testosterone for service members … Rep Becca Balint (D-VT): “There are so many people in this Administration that have some weird, intense homoerotic feelings toward men, while also being homophobic”…

Low-T is now a campaign talking point and a problem to be solved in the military. Pushed by a guy who had a makeup studio installed at the Pentagon.

Stop selling testosterone to men.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

This is what oligarchy looks like: Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump. Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Trump is, and will always be known as, a mass murderer.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

From a big redistricting defeat for Trump in Indiana to Democratic victories across Florida, Georgia, and Iowa, it’s been a big week for Democrats. Add Trump’s falling approval and another failed attempt to re-indict NY AG Tish James, and we’ve all got reasons to celebrate.

thinkbigpicture.substack.comOur Wins Of The WeekIn a major defeat for Donald Trump, the Republican supermajority in the Indiana state Senate rejected redrawn congressional maps that would have given Republicans two more seats in the U.S.

Under article 2 of the 25th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America it states that a president may be removed from Office if he is unable to perform his duties or is found to be abusing his power.

The Saudi prince is putting on a show right now! He can not stop himself from laughing and making faces behind Trump's back. His facial expressions are priceless 🤣

Mark Epstein (Jeffrey’s brother): “The reason they’re gonna be releasing these things, the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files. There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out”

Candyooo reposted

Kash ordered a team of FBI agents to go through the Epstein files many months ago to redact Trump’s name based on FOIA exemptions 6 and 7. It is highly unlikely they are going to be unredacted before they are released. ONLY victim info should be redacted, but much more will be.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Beware people trying to minimize Mamdani's win by comparing his number to other democrats in other races. Those other democrats didn't run a three-way race with two democrats and a republican. Getting more than 50% in a three way race is a DECISIVE win. Folks saying otherwise are just mad

Candyooo reposted

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard. If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.
