As someone who's daughter is attending next years Jamboree, I can't believe Hegseth's fear of women is such that he'd disobey Congressional requirements to support the event (except really, I can believe it, because he's transparently shutting women leaders out at the Pentagon).

Quakers are always in Advent but sometimes we taste Christmas. 💜
Fellow Advent observers: Christ is coming! Not at the end of time or in our nostalgia, but in every person seeking food, drink, refuge, warmth, care, and inclusion.

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.
Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.
Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Think about how much the press obsessed over Barack Obama’s “relationship” with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, a relationship that consisted of their serving on the same nonprofit board of directors for three years.
It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...
