JD Vance may be a bad vice president but I still think that Hillbilly Elegy was a wonderful book. I learned so much about how lazy and drug addicted people are in Appalachia.

"Every $1 invested in public transportation generates $4 through job creation, higher property values, and improved access to employment. And for nearly 200,000 people in southwestern Pennsylvania who live in households without a car, transit isn’t optional. It’s essential."

“Protected class" began as an aid to the disadvantaged, an express attempt to combat discrimination based on characteristics such as race and sex. But decades later, it has become a tool for the oppressor. Read how President Trump twisted the law to protect white men.

Even if the courts make the administration back off it feels, much like tariffs, like the damage is already done here. It’s much harder to agree to a very expensive, multi-year investment in your education if you also have to worry that it could get interrupted at any moment by the government.

Elon is always lying. Therefore, we must focus on what Elon feels the need to lie about. This "I'm so backing off" lie shows: a) the #TeslaTakedown worked b) the #TeslaTakedown must ramp up He's going to be pulling the same shit & the media will be inclined to push his lie that he's backed off.

I’ve told the story many times. Now @katemasur.bsky.social and I have filed it in federal court: Free Black Americans were first to recognize BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP in the US. When denied it, they fought to secure it. They show us what the 14th Amendment meant and what it meant to live without it.

🚨Everything Trump has said about the Qatar plane is a LIE. Amazing story in the Post. - Qatar did NOT offer it, Trump requested it - Qatar expected a sale, not a “gift” - US Air Force says it’s in poor condition - $1.5 billion to make it useable - $500 million ADDITIONAL cost for Trump to keep it.
