Even Fox thinks he’s gone too far.

Tweet by Sam Stein: “Looks like Hegseth’s old employer, Fox News, has refused to sign his press requirements.” The image below is a joint statement from ABC News, CBS News, CNN, FOX News Media, and NBC News, explaining their refusal to agree to the Pentagon’s new journalist requirements that threaten core journalistic protections.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I hate to think what boys and young men are learning from watching such behavior and how it makes girls and young women. Parents need to teach that this is not acceptable.

Tweet by Marlow Stern (@MarlowNYC) saying: “This is gross,” quote-tweeting Aaron Rupar. The embedded Rupar tweet reads: “Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, ‘I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling.’” Below is a photo of Donald Trump seated, speaking at a table with flags behind him, and captioned “Thank you, darling. I don’t know.”

John Solomon didn’t stumble onto a secret — he recycled one. The Jan 6 committee’s phone-metadata subpoenas were public and reported years ago. This is how the right keeps the outrage machine humming: rename oversight as spying, erase timelines, and sell déjà vu.

John Solomon’s “discovery” about Jan 6 phone records isn’t a scoop — it’s a rerun dressed as revelation.

These are the 'young' republicans? They look like they're in their 40's.

Now I understand why Vought & Carr are in their 40s but look like they're in their 70s.

Hate ages you. No doubt these young Republicans are incels contemplating rape.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

This extinction is not just a statistic: it’s the silencing of a species, a permanent erasure of unique evolutionary history.
