I love it. I haven’t seen it in person but it makes me feel small and part of something at the same time. Small because of the sheer scale of her, but with an accompanying sense of pride and of sameness.

![The image is a chart titled "Top Donors in 2024 Election," showing contributions to campaign committees and independent groups. It notes George Soros donated $179 million in 2022, much unspent until 2024. Donors are categorized as "Solidly Republican/Conservative," "Solidly Democratic/Liberal," or "Leans Republican/Conservative." Top donors include:
Elon Musk: $291,482,587 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)
Timothy Mellon: $197,047,200 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Honestly I think it’s just more cinematic and more aesthetically attuned to the show for them to hold hands and run. I don’t disagree with your logic, but that’s just it. They’re not being logical.

This song is IT! It gives Prince, Cher, a bit of 80s Pat Benatar (am I crazy for that one? 🤔) Also, when can we expect a whole album drop?

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

Trump plans to sign an executive order barring certain student loan borrowers from eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This popular federal program forgives a portion of student debt for individuals who work in government or qualifying nonprofit jobs for ten years.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
