If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

Let me get this straight: Trump found tens of billions of dollars to give to Argentina for a bailout during our government shutdown, but he couldn't find funding to keep SNAP program benefits going for 42 million hungry Americans past this Friday?

2025-10-16 17:06:19 UTC

We're 16 days into Trump and the Republican Party shutting down the federal government because Democrats refuse to throw sick Americans under the bus.

"This is a big canary in the coal mine. If we’re not calling out the lawlessness of Trump’s retribution against Bolton, we’re allowing the permission structure for further lawlessness and fascism by Trump."

"We're seven years into this terrible chapter of Rowling being openly hateful towards trans people, and I honestly can't stomach yet another conversation with a non-trans person who's looking to soothe their conscience, so that they can enjoy content."

Per usual, traditional media sucks at reporting on science. No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction after 10,000 years. Here's a good explainer on what actually happened.

It's not true that the four U.S. soldiers who recently died in Lithuania weren't honored by a sitting president. The problem is that wasn't the U.S. president who honored them. It was the President of Lithuania. Trump couldn't be bothered with it.

"What Pete Hegseth did is probably the worst thing a soldier could do in the eyes of the military short of murdering someone, and even then, I’d probably argue it’s worse because it could easily get others killed."

"Being in the minority party doesn’t prohibit the use of microphones and media strategy and offering an alternative plan. It doesn’t obligate compliance or obeisance or the painful performance of awkwardly seeking common ground with fascists."

I believe in strong institutions and pragmatic strategy. Purity politics are destructive to progress. But our party leadership has become so anemic that we've been left with no choice but to call for Mr. Schumer's removal.
Join our call for him to step down: https://www.change.org/p/boycott-contributions-to-senate-democrats-until-chuck-schumer-steps-down

"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership."

Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

Today, Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida stated that she intends to call members of the Warren Commission to testify for her investigation of the JFK assassination.
The problem, of course, is that all seven members of the Warren Commission have been deceased since 2006.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

"Regardless of all this, I don’t feel sorry for Gus Walz. He doesn’t need my sympathy. A young man who has that much confidence and strength in his own skin, so much that he readily and tearfully cheers for his father on national television, doesn’t need any pity from the rest of us. If anything, we should be following his lead."

“What is so beautiful about a child having to carry their parent’s child?”
The air went out of the arena when she said that.

"The silence of people like Mr. Tapper and Ms. McArdle and Mr. Hart—knowing full well that what he was claiming is false and dangerous—speaks to an increasingly destabilizing double standard in American media."

"There are a lot of people in this country with great values who don't have access to affordable dental care or good hygiene practices generally, and they so often go unnoticed because their existing struggles are seen as inconvenient to those who would rather not be burdened by acknowledging that suffering."

"I don’t really feel the need to outline the reasons why I don’t want children. I think it’s more than enough to simply understand that about myself because that decision is up to me and only me. And no one else gets a say in that decision, and thus, no one else is entitled to an explanation for why I don’t want kids."

President Biden will go down as one of the most productive and progressive and successful chief executives in modern history, with a closing chapter that makes possible a vibrant future in which no one gets left behind. Take a bow, Sir. Thank you for your patriotism.

There are many great running mates for VP Kamala Harris, but my preferred choice is Sec. Pete Buttigieg. He's one of the best communicators not just in the party but in all of politics, a veteran, from the Midwest, lives in Michigan, and polls quite well. He'd be a superb VP.

"I believe the United States is a great country not because of the flag or an oath or the endless pageantry. Our greatness isn’t found in monuments and statues. It’s not found in anthems and pledges. These are all rewards for the hard part: the active citizenry that refuses to yield to our lesser selves."

Republican Congressman Rich McCormick, who believes trans rights are bad for American families, has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years (and mother of their seven children) after revelation of his alleged affair with Republican Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who also believes trans rights are bad for American families.

Kentucky just reelected their pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ Democratic governor and Ohio enshrined a right to abortion in their state constitution. Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden...

I don't need innocent Palestinian civilians to support LBGTQ rights in order for me to support their human rights anymore than I need American conservatives to support LGBTQ rights in order to support their human rights.
Human rights are not earned. All are entitled to them.

Imagine if any trans person did this. Imagine if any LGBTQ public figure did this. Imagine if Rep. AOC did this. Imagine if any Democrat did this. It would be a top story, and we sure as hell would be hearing the word “fondling” a LOT more than vaping. https://charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/when-youre-a-republican-they-let
