The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Walmart needs to put the snow wheels on their carts for winter. Or I need to stop shopping while it's snowing.

I see the only fans creators have found bluesky. I've had over a dozen following me today alone. I have zero problems with what they do, I'm just not interested at this time in my life. I'm happily cohabiting.

Republicans have used public concern about Social Security’s future solvency as a cynical excuse to demand cuts in benefits. But Social Security could easily pay everything it will owe to everyone for the next 75 years if the cap on income subject to SS taxes were eliminated. Let me explain.

Christian Nationalist wanted this to be available, but only for them. I'm not well aligned with TST, but I acknowledge how great this is. This isn't about being petty like they are with "owning the libs." It's about showing the hypocrisy and how problematic religion in school is.

I can understand encryption if you're in a sensitive job, but "Honey, bring home milk and eggs" is hardly encryption worthy, IMO. Oh no, the Chinese spy agency knows I'm making an omelet. www.forbes.com/sites/zakdof...

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
