had Biden randomly wandered on the White House roof shouting at reporters about nuclear weapons, Jake Tapper would drop everything to pitch a new series of books and Hannity would anchor ongoing special coverage until 2029 but when Trump does it it's just Trump being Trump!

Superman was incredible. It's as good as everyone says. This is a fun movie about kindness, hope, and doing the right thing. It is exactly the right movie that the world needs right now and you are telling on yourself if you think it's "woke".

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

When any politician talks about NOT funding the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) at about 300 million a year but says nothing when the Federal Government gives Elon Musk (worth 359 Billion) 6 Billion for his space company, you know that they are an Oligarchy loving Hypocrite.

For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol. So they held their very own! 57 of them came out! Aged 67-104! They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them! They had s sign making day before the event! They sent this video to me to share.🥰

Arkansas Republicans just voted to dismantle their state library at the Capitol, pushing a bill that could strip funding from public libraries & censor any books they don't like under vague "age-inappropriate" rules. It now heads to the Arkansas House. The GOP’s continuous war on knowledge continues

He’s never been to any library, let alone a public library, so he doesn’t care about them. Same with national parks. Same with museums. Same with theater, the arts, or anything cultural. And he cuts funding for K-9 programs because he loathes dogs. Hired a woman who kills them.
