Williams, 37, then unleashed her response to the DHS’ statement in an Instagram Story post Monday: “And may I suggest all Nazi bitches suck on my fat d***.”

A DHS representative did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

~Approximately no one in the general public knows because the leaders of the R1 research universities - whose budgets, programs, & personnel are entirely or significantly dependent on federal funding - have been totally absent from the public square in explaining & collectively protesting this.

ChatGPT is not a good geneticist (would have gotten a C on our Adv genetics exam; has lots of trouble ordering a pathway…). Claude was better, pretty much got everything correct. Neither knew how to draw a cross though…

This guy literally packed the courts because Utahns passed an anti-gerrymandering referendum and the state Supreme Court justices, many of whom he appointed, repeatedly sided with the people over him and his fellow Republicans. Spare me the white man tears www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Aside from this being obviously steroid-build (and I guess always skipping leg day), I think it would behoove Elon to (1) spend a little more time in mountain pose bc his posture is awful and (2) wear wider leg jeans bc those skinny jeans make him look like an ostrich otherwise lol what a freak

This poll from Cook is bonkers. A *huge* plurality of voters (43% overall, 61% of Ds) want Dems to focus on changing the political system overall vs. just opposing (21%, 36% of Ds) or working with Trump (35%, 3% of Ds).

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

New OoT trailer looks like a nicely polished re-skin of a nearly 30 year old game. There had better be a Japanese language track for the voice acting though, no way I’m listening to that. Learn to read.
