“.. a ‘whatever it takes’ mantra when it comes to rescuing Argentina, despite questions about why, and whether the aid comes at the expense of American farmers.

It is incorrect that Jesus dumped diarrhea on people from a fighter jet. The Bible says it was a flaming wheel, and uses the Greek term skubalon, meaning dung. Also He did not wear a golden crown, He does not really like crowns for some reason
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Compare Trump’s (unusual) level of empathy for Argentina — vs. Ukraine.

Good to get official confirmation — basically everything happening in Chicago right now is being coordinated by Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol Chief who started doing indiscriminate raids even before Biden left office, because he knew he could get away with it.

OPINION: "While the White House’s fight with elite universities such as Columbia and Harvard has recently dominated the headlines, the feud overshadows the broader and more far-reaching assault on K-12 public education by the Trump administration and many states," Shapiro and Tomain write.

Trump’s Secretary of Lying shared the “your mom” text exchange — where she wouldn’t answer who picked Hungary as the site of the Putin-Trump meeting

@svdate.bsky.social tried to explain the significance, which is almost definitely lost on her (and Trump)

"Democrats should have made the ACA better in 2009 by nuking the filibuster and adding a public option" isn't the same as "The ACA was gutted by Democrats".

Objectively, the only party that has consistently gutted the ACA is the GOP.
The ACA was gutted by Democrats. you can argue those key democrats could've been siding with what many see as the more liberal/patient centered options. or you could say it was unfortunate that Dems didnt have 60+ more liberal senators.

but it was Democrats.
Ok, but maybe you need to re-work that a bit. Also, you could also acknowledge that the original ACA was gutted by Republicans before it was finally passed, which is partly why it has been a problem for some.

Great column by Philly's own @willbunch.bsky.social
The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

Purdue student-journalists: marvelous.
IU student-journalists: double down and bit the hand that thinks it feeds you.

And the administrators at IU? You're revealed as trash and unworthy to claim the role of educators. You proved it to your campus and the world.
Last week, the Indiana University administration asked their student newspaper not to print any news stories in the Homecoming edition. When the faculty advisor refused, IU fired him and ended paper printing. So students at the Purdue paper printed the IU edition and drove it down to Bloomington!

The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

A Palestinian girl feeds cats in Gaza after hearing news about a “Ceasefire”. These cats are starving as israel continues its campaign of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and weaponised starvation against Palestinians.
It does. It really is heinous.
And for folks with disabilities, it makes it difficult for those of us with canes and walkers and other assistive needs. It’s just bad for everyone.
