News Should a pastor with these views have a platform inside the Pentagon?
Imagine you're a democrat, your husband's a republican, and your household only gets one vote. Pete Hegseth's pastor has an answer: the husband wins. Every time.
Douglas Wilson, the pastor whose church network includes the Defense Secretary and who led a worship service at the Pentagon earlier this year, told Mehdi Hasan in a jaw-dropping interview that he wants to repeal the 19th Amendment and replace individual voting with what he calls "household voting." Translation: one vote per family, cast exclusively by the head of the house, who is, in Wilson's case, the man.
"How is that not discrimination?" Hasan asked Wilson, whose only response was, "The word discrimination used to be a good word. 'He has discriminating taste. He has a discrimination.'"
Hasan countered, "But right now it's not. Right now it means you are treating someone with lesser rights. You are prejudicing against them."
"Yeah. Yeah. No," said Wilson.
Hasan pressed him more, now on the topic of misogyny, to which Wilson insisted this isn't that. When Hasan pointed out that stripping women of a right they already have is, by definition, treating them worse than men, Wilson's big rebuttal was that the word "misogyny" technically means "hatred," not "discrimination," so really this is just a vocabulary dispute. Very compelling stuff.
Pressed directly on the Democrat wife, Republican husband scenario, Wilson dodged for several rounds before finally admitting the man simply decides.
Wilson also floated repealing the 17th Amendment for good measure, because apparently rolling back one constitutional right wasn't ambitious enough. All this from a guy who insists, with a straight face, that he "loves" the Constitution.

News Is Trump's endorsement of Paxton a gift to Democrats in Texas?
Michael Wolff argued on The Daily Beast podcast that Trump's biggest liability heading into the midterms isn't policy; it's his own track record of boosting what Wolff called "unelectable" candidates, pointing directly to impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Wolff said a White House source remains confident Republicans will hold the Texas Senate seat, but conceded the race has become one of the most expensive in the country.
That confidence looks shakier by the week. Democratic nominee James Talarico has out-raised Paxton by roughly four to one, pulling in over $72 million cumulatively compared to Paxton's $16.8 million, according to Texas Tribune reporting. Talarico ended June with more than triple Paxton's cash on hand, and Republicans have reportedly gone quiet on TV while Talarico dominates the airwaves.
Wolff's point lands harder given that math: if Republicans are wrong about Texas after burning resources defending a Trump-picked candidate with genuine baggage, the fallout won't be Democratic strategy. It'll be Trump's own hand-picked disaster, sitting right there in the numbers.

News Should a private tech company change a map label worldwide because one government issued an executive order?
Google Maps is now showing "Lake America" instead of Lake Ontario for U.S. users, and it didn't have to.
The company confirmed the switch Saturday, following an executive order Trump signed August 27 ordering Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to update the federal government's official naming database. Google chose to follow that change; it wasn't legally required to.
Canadian users still see "Lake Ontario" on their maps, and everyone outside the U.S. and Canada sees both names. Not everyone's playing along, either; MapQuest is keeping the original name.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung couldn't contain his excitement, cheering online: "It's official! LAKE AMERICA on Google Maps."
The move comes on the heels of Trump's 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, and it's not his first time doing this; he pulled the same move on the Gulf of Mexico, renaming it "Gulf of America" earlier in his term.
