Dan plays a clip of Susan Collins arguing on Fox News that Roe would have been overturned 6-3 with or without Kavanaugh. Leah dismantles this in seconds: Chief Justice Roberts did not vote to overrule Roe — he voted to narrow it, not eliminate it [1] — Leah Litman "Susan Collins claimed on Fox News that Roe would have been overturned regardless of her vote for Kavanaugh because of the 6-3 vote. Wrong: …" 1:04:30 . The Dobbs majority was exactly five justices. Collins confirmed the fifth. Her claim is simply, factually wrong. But Leah's deeper contempt is for the framing itself — 'I disagree with the outcome, I don't regret my vote' — which requires pretending that Brett Kavanaugh has done something worth the documented loss of women's lives, fertility, and health in post-Roe America [2] — Leah Litman "Had Justice Kavanaugh not been confirmed, there were not 5 votes to overrule Roe v. Wade. Chief Justice Roberts did not vote to overrule Ro…" 1:05:08 . The discussion closes on the Maine Senate race where Graham Plattner is running against Collins, and the broader accountability opportunity the 2026 midterms represent.
Susan Collins claimed on Fox News that Roe would have been overturned regardless of her vote for Kavanaugh because of the 6-3 vote. Wrong: Roberts did not vote to overrule Roe — only five justices did. Collins confirmed the fifth.
Susan Collins falsely claimed Roe would have been overturned regardless of her Kavanaugh vote; in fact, Chief Justice Roberts did not vote to overturn Roe, making Kavanaugh the decisive 5th vote.
Erin Brockovich describes data center expansion as 'a full-on assault' hitting communities across water, electricity, noise, air pollution, and land loss. She calls it the biggest bipartisan conversation she's seen in her 30-year career — and warns that tech companies didn't see the coming backlash.
Demanding an emergency fund balance on a first date is the wrong approach. What you're really looking for is someone with character, maturity, and a direction — not a perfect financial snapshot. You can build a budget in 20 minutes; you can't build character that fast.
The fear of not being financially ready to have children is almost always a failure to run the real budget. On $110K a year, you can afford a child. What you can't afford is the fantasy nursery, the bigger car, and staying home on one income without a plan.
You've already said enough. The enabling, the financial dysfunction, the fear it'll land in your lap — if you can't say yes with full confidence, the answer is no. Tell Mom to rent a cheap one-bedroom, sell her house, and buy a condo near the grandkids instead.
Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
In 1950, 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty. Today it's roughly 1 in 10. Capitalism and economic growth did that — nothing else has ever worked at scale. The challenge now isn't generating enough wealth; it's building the political will to distribute it.
The manosphere begins with genuinely useful advice — get fit, be ambitious, find a partner. But it rapidly devolves into dominance, misogyny, and crypto university grifts. The most famous manosphere figures are running $50-a-month Ponzi schemes, exploiting the very loneliness they pretend to cure.
Throughout human history, only 40% of men have ever reproduced. Romantic success has never been guaranteed — it has always required effort, self-development, and resilience. The incel movement's core lie is telling men they're owed something that no man has ever been owed.
The most common word Scott Galloway has heard in his life is no. That's not a failure — it's the mechanism through which great yeses are earned. For shy young men, the path forward is simple: approach people, accept rejection, repeat. Resilience to discomfort is the only real competitive advantage.
