Absolute offside calls are dumb. Hany is a toenail ahead maybe

Trump isn’t going to end the war in Ukraine. He’s going to make it easier for Russia to keep what it stole and greenlight Putin to go after other countries.

It's too bad the only powers Chuck Schumer has as Senate Minority Leader is typing out milquetoast posts on social media.

They felt like Black folks were ungrateful. In their eyes, they gave us a Black President so why were we complaining. Bc we had a Black figurehead, they wanted us to shut up about the pain we were still experiencing. Our demands to simply be treated humanely made them uncomfortable

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I told my step pop someone hit me. When he asked if I hit them back, I replied that fighting in school was not allowed. That’s when he gave me this gem : When someone hits you, you’re already in a fight, you’re just losing. It’s cool to want peace but sometimes you gotta fight for it.

I hope every Democrat in Congress understands there can be no deal, under any circumstances, that attaches conditions to disaster aid. Once you let them set that precedent, they’re going to use it to fuck with your state too.

The thing about Trump is that he’s stupid. He doesn’t understand tariffs and chose a country that has a product we barely produce

every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further

Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!" They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own. Don't overthink this. Call out stupid shit and say no. It's not that hard.

Oh, but you see they only want the elections they LOST overturned on technicalities.

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

billionaires really want these vouchers

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

I’m not sure many people actually know what unconditional love is and practice it

Nolan can film The Odyssey all he wants, but remember it’s been done: it’s called “O Brother Where Art Thou?”

I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.

The Times doing a great job of covering this and listing the dangers AFTER THE FUCKING ELECTION.

Murder is bad. However, Americans are struggling and hurting for many reasons, health costs being a big one. So the reaction to the CEO’s death shouldn’t be so surprising. If you want more empathy in similar cases, working to reduce health costs is how to do it.

A health insurance database of 300 million Americans (i.e. almost everyone) found fewer than 300 top surgeries for minors per year. Kids are ALREADY getting these surgeries in exceptional circumstances only. www.reuters.com/investigates...

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

This may be controversial but I think getting into the rare fist fight is a good thing. Cathartic and certainly less deadly. Kids get angry and need an outlet that doesn’t end in another’s death

Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam will ultimately be equivalent of air dropping $7,075 gift cards to Louis Vuitton over Belle Meade, courtesy of taxpayers. The sooner Tennesseans stop buying this guy’s bs, the sooner we can focus on improving the quality of life of working families.

This ~ 💯%

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.
