I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe?

Super duper.

A previously undisclosed whistle-blower report on Hegseth’s tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America, from 2013 until 2016, describes him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity—to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization’s events. The detailed seven-page report—which was compiled by multiple former C.V.A. employees and sent to the organization’s senior management in February, 2015—states that, at one point, Hegseth had to be restrained while drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team. The report also says that Hegseth, who was married at the time, and other members of his management team sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, whom they divided into two groups—the “party girls” and the “not party girls.” In addition, the report asserts that, under Hegseth’s leadership, the organization became a hostile workplace that ignored serious accusations of impropriety, including an allegation made by a female employee that another employee on Hegseth’s staff had attempted to sexually assault her at the Louisiana strip club. In a separate letter of complaint, which was sent to the organization in late 2015, a different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!”

What would the MAGAts think of this?

Reminder it doesn’t matter because Magats are a cult🤷🏾. Facts matter to critical thinkers, common sense, reason belong to people who have agency of their own minds. For the record.

Somebody needs this right now 🥹

The solution to poverty is to give money to people who need money. Everything else is just inefficiency in order to salve people’s desire to punish poor people for being poor.

Well, well, well. Looks like mom is the honest one in the family.

Bondi must be asked at her confirmation hearing if Trump lost the election in 2020. Unless her answer is yes, the Senate must reject her nomination. You can't be an election denier & the attorney general joycevance.substack.com/p/gaetz-out

I’m old enough to have attended school before modern special ed programs; kids with learning differences or challenges were just called dumb and lazy. We can’t afford to go back to those bad old days!

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

I love this.

In Trump II there’s so far only one Black cabinet member: once again to head up Housing and Urban Development.

He understands “urban” doesn’t mean “Black,” right?

Canada’s top military commander, Gen. Jennie Carigna:
"After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country."

Alabama lawmaker moves to ensure contraception access during Trump presidency Alabama state Sen. Merika Coleman, D-Pleasant Grove, has pre-filed a bill to establish a statewide legal right to distribute and use contraceptives.

Coleman said that due to Trump’s win & control of both houses in Congress, "she felt it necessary to have legal protections in place for contraception access." www.al.com/news/2024/11...
