Republican Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville was lambasted for suggesting the jurors in former Republican President Donald Trump's election interference trial may not be American citizens. 
Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen,  testified this week about his involvement in falsifying business records relating to the $130,000 Trump paid before the 2016 presidential election to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. 
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records with the intent of concealing the hush money payment to benefit his campaign by covering up a potentially damaging story ahead of the election. 
Outside the Lower Manhattan courtroom on Monday,  Tuberville stood before media and ranted:
"I am disappointed at looking at the American—supposedly American citizens in that courtroom—that the DA comes in and he acts like it is his Superbowl." "And I guess it is. To be noticed."You can watch a clip here.

He continued: 
"But that's what's happening in this country." "The Republican candidate for president of the United States is going through mental anguish in a courtroom that's very depressing." "Very depressing."The Biden-Harris campaign team also shared the video..
"Tommy Tuberville attacks the jurors, suggesting they aren’t American citizens, and says they’re putting Trump through 'mental anguish,'" read the X (formerly Twitter) post.

Trump could risk going to jail if he continues to violate the gag order in place to prevent him from attacking witnesses or members of the jury during the trial. 
So, some folks online have posited that he's simply having surrogates do it for him.

Sep 12, 2025
Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."
Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women. 
Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
