Hey, 15 is not “barely legal.” It is illegal, and immoral, and vile. Megyn Kelly is a fucking ghoul like the rest of them.
Also, is the argument here that if they were just a little older, it would be ok to rape them? Enjoy dying on that hill.

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Everyone is getting excited about this Epstein vote, but I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves.

This is panic from the Trump admin. Unfortunately, I think Boebert is one of the few people on the planet that Trump can outsmart. Paired with whatever bribe or dirt on her they have, and this is not looking good for democracy.

Great read, and I think it outlines the crux of our capitalism problem. If PE is involved (and sometimes even when they aren’t), customers cease to be the customer. The shareholders are the customer, and what’s good for them is often terrible for the actual customers.

No free bus fares, but at least we got a ring beam!
The building of new Nissan Stadium took a significant step last Friday when a crew, led by construction manager Tennessee Builders Alliance, installed the final piece of the “ring beam” that shapes the structure's circular roof.

WASHINGTON NEEDS A SHAKE-UP
The same career politicians who caused the shutdown are now playing games with your health care. Eight Senate Democrats just cut a deal—but Speaker Johnson still refuses to hold a vote to protect ACA subsidies. Tennessee can change that on Dec. 2.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

MY PLAN TO LOWER COSTS
My opponent says he’ll lower costs, but hasn’t said how. Here are three things I can do within the first year as your Congresswoman to lower costs for working families. Healthcare and groceries shouldn’t force you into debt.

Y‘all, what am I missing here? My understanding is that Grijalva’s vote is number 218, which is just over half of 435, a simple majority to release the files. This race has no bearing on the vote at all.
So why is @aftynbehn.bsky.social retweeting this nonsense? What am I missing?

This is an extremely important Special Election in Nashville TN’s 7th, on 12/2/2025 and the difference between getting the Epstein Files released or not.
Aftyn Behn is a sitting member of the TN House currently and would be amazing in Congress! 👇

If I wasn’t boycotting Target already, this would absolutely inspire me to do so. Do not talk to me, Target employee! I am here to wander with my thoughts and look at useless items I will never actually buy.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I'm an Aftyn supporter, but this is nonsense. Grijalva is the 218th vote whether Behn wins or not. This comes across as dishonest, at least to me. We expect this sort of fearmongering from Republicans, not Democrats.
👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?”
TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Absolutely hilarious answer from Van Epps, calling Trump & Johnson’s Epstein files cover-up “a deliberative approach” 🤔
Matt clearly got Trump’s support in TN-7 because he will cover for pedophiles also. This was embarrassing👇🏽
( @aftynbehn.bsky.social is a vote to release the files)

This was my experience last night. Ended up at a small party at the home of the parents of one of my kid’s friends. Met a bunch of other parents I didn’t know, kids went out in a pack to trick or treat, and a good time was had by all.
I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.
