Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I just keep thinking about all of those endless voter interviews where they were "troubled by his personality, but the economy was better under him."

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

You cannot lecture people on how they should be eating healthier while the administration you pledge allegiance to is actively working to end SNAP. #SayNoToRFK

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

@Target because of your decision to not support DEI, today I did my weekly shopping at @Costco where I spent ~$200. Thanks to your DEI decision, I will now be spending $10,400 ($200*52 weeks) annually at Costco. #Target #Costco #DEI

#target I am so disappointed in your decision to forgo Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Why would you not choose to do the right thing for woman of any color, people of color, the disabled, seniors, indigenous people, LGBTQ+ folks, and others that are not white straight men? 1/2

Imagine you see diversity, equality, and inclusion as being the antithesis of your morality? Uniformity, inequality, and exclusion are your guiding principals. We feel bad today. They always feel bad.

Remember Joe Biden ended his presidency with these numbers: 2.9% inflation. 4.1% unemployment. 43k Dow Jones. Manufacturing boom. Gaza ceasefire. Medicare D $2k prescription drug cap. Infrastructure boom. Fastest economic recovery. Covid handled.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

It is quite the fragile god who needs political power to preserve and enforce their will. It is quite the powerful God who is born in poverty, partners with the poor, washes feet, heals the sick, advocates for the oppressed, is unjustly killed and still changes the entire world.
