To be clear, I like men, and most of the men I've known are good and decent people. But they are not the victims in this story. They are not oppressed. They are not having their rights taken away, and it's insulting that society is suddenly acting like they are. The #MeToo backlash has been brutal.

Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.” The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

If Deputy PM Winston Peters and Children's Minister Karen Chhours want to protect children in Aotearoa New Zealand, they should do something about children trafficked into NZ from overseas for abuse and exploitation. A real problem needing real solutions. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela. This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

In a move to change cultural attitudes about childbearing, the Trump administration may soon start bestowing mothers of six or more children a special medal. Here's a not-so-fun fact: This idea was popularized in Nazi Germany.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

Hegseth's rhetoric is militant, indignant, defensive, overaggressive, always hyper-partisan. He is a toxic male whose persona is racist, misogynist, and addictive. As head of the DOD, he is so over his head and yet his acute case of Dunning Kruger syndrome makes him the only one who doesn't see it.

If Hegseth resigns and we get an Acting Secretary of Defense, it'll be the eighth time we've had one. One came under Nixon, a second under GHW Bush. And then we had five under Trump.

It isn't just the stock markets collapsing. Trump is also collapsing the U.S. Dollar. That is a very, very bad sign. Not only will American consumers be paying for tariffs in higher costs, but the purchasing power of their money will not stretch as far. #TrumpEconomy www.cnbc.com/2025/04/21/u...

This whole 16-second scene is nuts. Trump talking about honoring Jesus “very powerfully,” Melania acting weird/bored/disgusted as usual, Trump saying he saved religion, the bunny nodding along, and of course all televised by Lindell TV.
