Sure. Or grill them harder. Question their competence. “You’re a US Senator. How can you not know about this? This is a big deal. So are you genuinely ignorant or are you lying about being ignorant? Which do you think is worse for your constituents and American democracy?”
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.
“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

Frankly, the only unique attribute we men bring to the party is that of a sperm bank.
In just a few generations, it's gone from "women need you & you'll get one as a mate/domestic servant regardless of how you act" to "women can survive on their own & will only mate with you if you bring something to the table" and WOW men are not adjusting well.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Unless someone says something, I won't usually be able to tell in any event so it's best for me to just accept folks on their presentation rather than whatever's on their original birth certificate (like I'd ever even see it).
one thing that is fairly obvious is that the amount of trans people you will encounter IRL is not actually that large in the grand scheme of things
so the enhanced enforcement of gender norms to prevent trans people are just as likely to be enforced on cis women who aren't femme

Did Hegseth watch it by himself, alone in a room, so he could have, you know, a “private moment.”
"That’s how a man who lectures actual soldiers about “warfighting” makes himself feel big: ordering the long-range killings of defenseless civilians, and watching it on video. And Hegseth's subsequent reaction has amounted to acting like a huge weenie."

As the debate about the EU Reparation Loan continues, my question remains the same: isn't it fundamentally wrong that the money of an aggressor state receives better protection than the nation defending itself from genocidal aggression?

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

Mr. Kristol is right but these aren’t war crimes, they are pre-meditated murder. We aren’t at war with civilians at sea.
"We've had lies and stonewalls before. One’s tempted to say first time tragedy, this time farce.
But war crimes aren’t a farce. Congress should investigate them. And a broader war—unjustified, unauthorized, unlawful—wouldn’t be a farce. Congress should stop it."

Show me in US law where drug smuggling is a capital offense.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Agreed, but how does that accountability work?
Plus, while the President can pardon them from federal charges, they can't immunize them from international accountability under the laws of war.
A presidential memo saying officers carrying out Caribbean boat strikes can’t be prosecuted is a confession the attacks are war crimes.
Virtually every lawyer across the political spectrum identifying them as blatant, unambiguous violations of the laws of armed combat is because they’re war crimes.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.
