So, I'm new here, and still finding my way. Trying to decompress from that other space and explore things other than politics. Although I expect I'll still post on that. Anyone read any compelling fiction lately that they'd like to recommend?

Big Law continues to shame itself. It has been weeks since Trump targeted Covington, more than a week since he targeted Perkins Coie. Now he is targeting Paul Weiss.

Why is it that Hegseth talks over women, long after the point where it's even arguably acceptable, and argues with them like he's asking the questions, not the other way around? He can say whatever he wants, but it's clear he doesn't respect women or even the offices they hold.
