We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us?  Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his sincerely held antislavery views

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Here me out. Buy up pasture land, which was once forest, which is only used for animal exploitation, which pollutes our world, and make new graveyard sites. Plant native trees and plants there and let it grow. When it's full of bodies, it's a protected forest 🌳 www.express.co.uk/ne...
