Yeah, it's all about toe hugging. (Images via screen grab)
FACEBOOK: This cute, straight couple posted a video demonstrating toe hugs and, well, I'm sorry, but they know what they're doing here.

NPR: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina), the rape survivor who has wholeheartedly embraced rapist Trump and accused sexual predator Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), among many others, is ever-so-worried she will get raped by incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Delaware) in the bathroom because, you know, McBride is a trans woman and there are SO MANY EXAMPLES of this happening. Disgusting people. If someone commits a crime, they get arrested. Don't pretend a group of people is predisposed to crime and punish them preemptively. If you're going to do that, just bar all men from being in public without a female chaperone.
McBride's response:
We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars. Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and that's what I'm focused on.
HHS: Soak it up while you can, an empathetic and competent government, that is. Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, and Secretary Xavier Becerra of the Department of Health & Human Services said in a statement:
Every day at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services we do all we can so that our fellow Americans, young and old, can live who they are, free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. We fight so that trans Americans can go to the doctor and receive the same treatment as any other patient…so that they feel welcomed at school and in their community for who they are. We fight for the rights of our transgender and nonbinary employees, including those within our own workforce, to have a safe and inclusive place to work.
On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I ask you to join me in recognizing the many transgender, nonbinary, and two-spirit Americans across this country for their extraordinary strength and resilience. We see you. We support you. We fight for you.
Newsflash — whackadoo RFK Jr. will be taking over this department, barring any calamitous revolt against Trump in the Senate (ha), so don't expect a kind word for trans people for at least four years.
NBC NEWS: The House Ethics Committee is meeting to decide whether to release its report on Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida). How can you be a committee devoted to ethics and even have to DECIDE if it's okay to release a report in which Gaetz will be shown to be a law-breaking sexual predator in advance of his confirmation as the head of the fucking Department of Justice?!

JOE.MY.GOD.: Trump feels Matthew Whitaker, who once marketed a toilet for men with large junk, is the best pick for NATO ambassador. It's all paybacks, all corruption, all losers, all loyalists. We are about to be a full-on banana republic. I never again want to hear shit about American exceptionalism. Our exceptionalims is “except her emails,” “except her race.”
