Whoa.

After being thrust upon the national stage having coming forward with sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified against the nominee in a highly-anticipated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today.

To many, Ford was as collected as could be under the circumstances, sincere, and ultimately credible. So much so that Fox News host Chris Wallace praised Ford's testimony, saying:


"This was extremely emotional, extremely raw and extremely credible."

He continued:

"Nobody could have listened to her deliver those words and talk about the assault and the impact it has had on her life and not have your heart go out to her. She obviously was traumatized by an event."

He concluded:

"This is a disaster for the Republicans."

Wallace also mentioned that his two daughters confided in him about things that happened to them in high school. He asserted that teenage girls often feel compelled to keep silent about events like this.

The statement comes just a day after President Donald Trump dismissed the allegations as a "big fat con," while simultaneously praising Fox News' coverage in an unhinged press conference at the United Nations General Assembly.

The president was reportedly on a flight back to Washington as Wallace made the statements.

Many began to imagine if Trump would be singing a different tune following this coverage.

Fox is famously Trump's favorite network, speculated by many to be because of its conservative leanings and its willingness to mislead its viewers.

Twitter took notice that Wallace made the assertions on the infamously conservative network.

Kavaugh is set to testify later today, but due to his interview with Fox News earlier this week to deny the allegations, it was Ford under the most pressure to convince the American public. The odds were stacked against her but according to many, she came through.

It's unclear at this moment whether or not Fox News will remain objective (by its standards) on the testimony, or if Kavanaugh's statements later today will be enough to convince them. Regardless, Wallace's words and his empathetic connection of the testimony to the statements of his daughters is certainly doesn't do Kavanaugh's status as the nominee any favors.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

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.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
