We knew Trump was a misogynist. But this week was extreme | Jessica Valenti | World news

There’s never a dull week under the Trump presidency. In addition to pushing a healthcare plan that would leave 22 million without coverage, the president has spent his mornings this last week attacking a cable news host in a bratty, sexist tirade.

We already knew Donald Trump was a raving misogynist, but having a leader in uncertain times who whines about petty grievances instead of running the country does not exactly inspire confidence. The best thing I can say about this week is: at least it’s Friday.

Glass Half Full

This incredible organization in Chicago is training young leaders to make a difference in their communities and beyond â€" they could use some donations, so pony up!

What I’m RTing

This NRA ad is an open call to violence to protect white supremacy. If I made a video like this, I'd be in jail. pic.twitter.com/LD65yMUMVn

As a reminder: what Trump felt he simply had to "hit back" at, was Mika Brzezinski joking about the fake TIME Magazine cover he made.

Who I’m reading

Michelle Goldberg at Slate on Trump’s misogyny; David Fahrenthold on the fake Time covers hanging in Trump properties across the country and this moving piece by clinic director Calla Hales who was raped by an anti- abortion activist.

What I’m writing

Why the female reporter’s response to Trump’s harassing comments felt all-too familiar.

What I’m watching

Sarah Huckabee Sanders trying to make fools of us all. No link necessary.

How outraged I am

Legislators in Missouri are considering legislation that would make it legal for employers and landlords to discriminate against women who use birth control, so I’m at a full 10. Someone send help, or Xanax.

How I’m making it through this week

Watching a lizard pop bubbles. (Whatever it takes, you guys.)
