They are unapologetically pro-abortion. They view gender as a tool of the patriarchy used to oppress women. And they have the ears of GOP lawmakers in Washington. Meet the radical feminist group aligned with Republicans on opposing transgender ideology: washingtonexaminer.com/in_fo…

“BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street have effectively turned clients’ retirement accounts into pro-ESG voting power....” @MiaCathell on our latest report covering how a cartel is weaponizing Americans' retirement portfolios. washingtonexaminer.com/news/… via @dcexaminer.
BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street have so much wealth that their holdings dwarf the GDP of most countries. They own a quarter of the stock market and are top shareholders at 90% of S&P 500 companies. This has given them unmatched power in the American economy and system.

Fairfax County is one of the richest counties in the U.S., but its public schools are a mess. The number of students in private school has doubled since 2019, but the county still pays more per pupil (for worse outcomes) than Fairfax's $19k (!) avg private school tuition.

.@semafor profiles the New York Post Runners -- the backbone of the storied newsroom. “In a day and age where AI is taking over,” the @nypost is “still doing basic journalism every day,” @liaeustach says. The runner offers a dynamic, and distinctly analog, example of what a human does best, and what LLMs can’t do at all — knock doors, form a connection, catch a vibe. semafor.com/article/03/29/20…

I just had such an inspiring meeting with a group of inspiring women! We have got to get the story out of the suffering and abuse that women in prison are experiencing because of gender identity that let's men into women's prisons. From Maine to California across the country this is a human rights crisis. Thank you all who are working on this. What women in prison experience is cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of our Constitutional rights and international human rights law. I am grateful to see so many women ready to stand up for our incarcerated sisters. Incarcerated women need help - legal help. Several of the "modern" women's rights groups are trying but we need major $$$ to launch some litigation. @Liberate_women_ @KDansky @KnownHeretic @ichinita310 @WDI_USA @listen2tish @DIAGdemocrats @MiaCathell @BostonGlobe @nytimes @washingtonpost @elonmusk @Oprah @belindagates_ @HillaryClinton @ClintonFdn themainewire.com/2026/03/ran…
