for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Federal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

For all the ways I found parenting small children absolutely exhausting, I looked forward to reading to them before bed every single night; it was legit my favorite thing. You can just choose NOT to have kids, which is a great option if you think AI is good parenting.

Today is the 5 year anniversary of players pausing play in protest against sexual misconduct & the league's handling of misconduct. This show of solidarity & courage would lead to many of the systemic changes in the NWSL. A moment that also serves as a reminder of the need to keep speaking out ❤️

I love when White House reporters assure us that Karoline Leavitt was an entirely different person off the record as if that's not key to the whole Trump regime's press manipulation strategy.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

There are lots of ways to answer this and one of them is that studying history makes you a better citizen and our public universities have an obligation to produce good citizens. History education is essential to a republican model of government. Engineering is not.
