PragerU is like creationism, but for all subjects. They start with an article of faith, then twist everything else to fit. Check it out for yourself: The Douglass video tries to convince kids that the Founders were the ones who *stopped* slavery. And that Douglass would have hated BLM.

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Oof. 11 thoroughbreds have died this summer at Saratoga Race Course, the crown jewel of east coasting racing. That's more than double last year's total, and we're only partway through the season. In all, 200 horses have died at Saratoga since 2009. www.timesunion.com/news/article...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Her name is Dr. Elizabeth Potter, a microsurgeon who specializes in complex breast cancer surgery. And this insurance company is now trying to destroy her reputation & bankrupt her surgery center since she spoke out about their practices. I’m sure you’ll never guess which health insurance company.

Federal immigration officers, some on horseback and in armored vehicles, descended on MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this morning as part of what ICE called a “large–scale federal immigration enforcement operation” in a statement to CBS News. ICE also said that CBP led the operation.

“Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote on X. “The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.”

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.
