Nope.

The 116th Congress will include several firsts. One of those is the most women ever to be in Congress. The Senate will have at least 24 female Senators and the House of Representatives will have at least 102 women.

While those numbers are still far less than half, it is still a major demographic change from just a decade ago when Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi of California became the first woman to ever serve as Speaker of the House. In the 110th Congress of 2008, there were 16 women in the Senate and 73 in the House.


South Dakota and Maine also elected their first female Governors in the 2018 midterm elections. More women also ran for offices in 2018 than ever before, at all levels of government.

In addition to more women entering Congress, more diversity will be represented in 2019. The first female Muslims and Native Americans, as well as the first Black woman to represent Massachusetts and first Latina to represent Texas will be in the 116th Congress.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) took to Twitter on Wednesday to express her joy over the gains made by women, especially women of color, in 2018.

But not everyone likes the idea of either diversity or gender equality. For some, the idea of others gaining equality with their rights and privileges means they "lose" something.

Donald Trump Jr. responded to Senator Gillibrand's post, claiming strides by women and increased diversity mean there is "no future" for his sons.

People who understood Gillibrand's message quickly pointed it out to Donald Trump Jr.

This was not the first time Trump Jr. tried to be clever on Twitter and saw more pushback than support.

Others thought Trump Jr. might be limited in his communications soon.

And internet personality "Mrs. Betty Bowers America's Best Christian"—aka comedian Deven Green—had a message about what might excite Trump Jr.'s daughters more.

Senator Gillibrand did not respond to Trump Jr.'s tweet, however, the younger Trump did not tag Gillibrand or reply directly to her original post.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
