This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

Why is the scaredest and most innocent teen in the entire world flanked by not one but two HSI people too embarrassed to show their faces?

Three photos from Pam Bondi’s twitter account. In each, a cool person is standing and looking at the camera, apparently detained by a faceless goon wearing a navy windbreaker claiming they work for HSI. In one, the detainee seems to have been crying and is flanked by two agents just in case her tears pose a special
threat.

Four photos from AG Pam Bondi’s twitter account. In each, a cool person you want to hang out with is looking vaguely detained while a good wearing a HSI windbreaker hides their face in shame next to them.

If the NIH and NSF is forced into only paying universities a 15% indirect cost rate, then defense and government contractors should also only be paid 15%. Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, etc… ALL have indirect costs. And they are a lot more than 15%.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

Depending on which survey you follow, either 58% or 79% of VA hospitals receive 4 or 5 star ratings, as compared to 40% of non-VA hospitals. The VA overall has a 92% trust rating, which makes it far and away the most trusted health provider in the United States.
