Democratic leaders are getting killed and now the President himself is condoning REFUSING MEDICAL CARE TO DEMOCRATIC VETERANS. It is amazing that people complained about Republicans being called "deplorables" in 2016 and now we are to Democrats being legally refused legal care.

If you are a man, sexism is your default setting. If you are white, racism is your default setting. If you are a straight person, homophobia is your default setting. And so on and so forth. Unlearn your indoctrination.

It is the middle of the day but over 377k are watching the livestream of Pope Leo XIV first prayer in St. Peter's Square. I'm not even Catholic and amazed to watch these rituals.

April 29, 1993: The Celtics' Dee Brown with a pair of blocks (and one goaltend) against the Hornets during Game 1 of their Eastern Conference First Round playoff series in Boston Garden. Boston defeated Charlotte, 112-101.

"Mayne, what's goin on, mayne? You can't be kissin' me like dat, mayne! My math isn't even mathing no more with this, mayne." I really wish we didn't have to hear from Terrence anymore. Like, if you aren't a good enough actor to do the role then just shut up and don't do it.

My wife and I just busted out yelling “snap ya fingers / do ya step / you can do it all by yourself, let me see you do it… AYYYYYY” at the dinner table, and it fascinated our children, who asked us to play it, so we did, and I began to realize how TERRIBLY long ago 2006 was

Can't blame an economic catastrophe on one man when the idiot won over 77,284,118 votes with another handful sitting at home too apathetic to vote. None of this was unannounced or unplanned but idiots thinking politics is sport treated as impossible to happen...surprise, tariffs, racism, and war!

Very good news: I'm hearing that the USDA employees discussed in this article have been returned to *active* duty, and that our reporting did have an impact.

DOGE's cuts to the USDA included a large amount of highly specialized workers checking plants and animals at ports. Logistics experts believe this will lead to a cascade of issues, from groceries spoiling to raised prices: www.wired.com/story/usda-f...

A lovely touch from Anthony Hamilton. Isack is a huge fan of Lewis, and Anthony has just walked down the paddock with his arm around Hadjar giving him some consoling words. I'm sure that will mean a huge amount moving forward #F1 #AusGP

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

REPORTER: What about the president's plan to expel Palestinians out of Gaza? TRUMP: Nobody is expelling any Palestinians. Who are you with? REPORTER: I'm with Voice of America, sir. TRUMP: Oh, no wonder.

Take the time to read Ryan D. Enos' op column in The Harvard Crimson. It is clear: all levels of education can no longer be quiet in the face of this unprecedented attack on intellect in America.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.
