Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

Mexicans are my COMPAS.
I have worked these greatly honest and decent people side by side for many years.
They are the best of people.
They are my hermanos and hermanas.
I will stand by them side by side against Trump.
We will win Trump's battle of hate and revenge against peace.

“After six years of adding medical staff, the VA this year is down more than 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses. The number of doctors on staff has declined each month since President Donald Trump took office. The agency also lost twice as many nurses as it hired between January and June”

ProPublica @propublica.org · 5h

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”

Hey you guys.

My Samsung phone wanted to know if I had seen the "Controversial Time Magazine photo" of Trump. You know, the one he hates so much. And - lo and behold - the have nots outweigh the haves, 54 to 45...
Maybe we need to change that.

Wonder how Senators Murkowski and Sullivan of Alaska feel about Trump eliminating federal grants aimed at helping some small, mostly Indigenous villages prepare for the ravages of storms or mitigate their disaster risks. Both Republicans always vote for Trump’s bills. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/u...

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., is running for Senate. “We’re in a crisis. And with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Senator Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old,” he says in his announcement video. Moulton is 46; Markey is 79.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.
