"There was no hooting, no hollering, no one applauded. They just sat like this. Like, it was emasculating in a way that this man who desperately tries to cosplay as an alpha was seen as a beta cuck by U.S. military leaders. Like, that was, I thought literally, and them televising this, I think it was even worse."

Shutting Down a Fascist Regime Run By Weak, Incompetent Bullies

A government shutdown, a cankled Trump, a manic Hegseth, a splintering MAGA base, a declining economy, the looming Epstein Files, and an opportunity for Democrats to finally lead.

The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali

"America’s toxic masculinity crisis was on full display today when Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense or, as he likes to say, Secretary of War, stood up in front of a room full of generals, admirals, and other senior military brass and lectured them about what it meant to be a real man."
