Powerful.

A new ad from Republicans for the Rule of Law sends a powerful message to the GOP: "Your silence is deafening."

The soundless 30-second spot calls out Republican congressmen Benjamin Sasse, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, John Kennedy, and Tim Scott for their silence in the wake of the Mueller report, saying "Our president attempted to obstruct justice. Stand up for the rule of law."


The Republican Rule of Law is a project from Defending Democracy Together, an advocacy organization "dedicated to defending America’s democratic norms, values, and institutions and fighting for consistent Conservative principles like rule of law, free trade, and expanding legal immigration." Bill Kristol, who debuted the Silence ad, is one of the organization's directors.

This isn't the first time the Republicans for the Rule of Law has posted a controversial ad. In November, they ran a "Protect Mueller" spot on the notoriously Trump-friendly Fox & Friends. Last week they purchased ad space on Fox & Friends to run a spot questioning Trump's hyperbolic "full exoneration" statements.

The Republicans for the Rule of Law encourages people to read the Mueller report and be informed about the actual conclusions.

Reps. Sasse, Graham, Cruz, Kennedy, and Scott: what have you got to say? We're listening.

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.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

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.
