18 USC 2384: Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

§2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

03 DU 2026: Mansplaining

Talking to someone and suddenly feeling like you're back in a fifth-grade classroom with the know-it-all kid explaining how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly? Except now, it's not about insects; it's about literally anything you already know, and the "explainer" just happens to be a dude who thinks he's on stage at 'Mansplainapalooza.' Welcome to mansplaining: where condescension is king, and yes, it often wears a gendered crown.
