“A University of Oklahoma student writes an entire essay and doesn't quote any sort of evidence, only her opinion about the Bible. She failed her assignment, and then she cries for Turning Point USA because her professor is trans. And of course, they completely lap it up.”

as a trans Oklahoman, I'm dismayed to see the comments that boil down to "What do you expect, everyone from Oklahoma is clinically stupid" which ignores that at the heart of this is a intellectually curious person from Oklahoma being censored.

Nancy Pelosi never let her caucus break on important votes. Chuck Schumer can't even keep his caucus together to protect 10 million people's healthcare.

WELKER: Trump said tariffs were gonna spark a manufacturing renaissance but since he announced them the US has lost 42k manufacturing jobs. Is that proof tariffs are failing? BESSENT: We can't snap our fingers & have factories built W: The economy added nearly 500k manufacturing jobs under Biden

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters. That’s how you convert a democracy into something else. Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

I can’t overstate how dangerous this is. ‘White House reviewing Smithsonian exhibits to make sure they align with Trump’s vision’ Translation: Donald Trump and his administration are continuing their assault on Black history, and on any history that doesn’t center and glorify the white man…

People working in or visiting museums in DC: Please use your phones to record politically/racially/sexuality/gender sensitive exhibits before the Trump administration desecrates them with its white supremacist heteronormative propaganda. Because we will need to fix them when he’s gone to Hell.

Raskin: "By covering up, they are just reproducing and spreading the conspiracy theory ... you don't have to blame some shadowy deep state. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are the ones who have the power to release the Epstein files. They're the closest thing we have to the deep state right now."

The scary thing about this kind of tipping point (which, you know, is a common reality of tipping points) is that once you’re beyond it the crash is baked in. You can’t wait to see the effects before you work to cushion the blow—because when you’re seeing the effects it’s already too late.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Republicans expressing concerns about Medicaid cuts in the spending bill is akin to Tony Soprano expressing concerns to Dr. Melfi. No matter what they say, by the end of every episode, they are going to kill somebody.
