1) Do these people have any idea who John Adams was married to?
2) Ambitious, intellectual conservative women feel politically homeless because they are. Conservatism is inherently sexist. It will never treat women as equals.

This is the line he uses to view the films that provide inspiration for his Warrior Ethos. Films such as "Rough Rider," "Midnight Hammer, and "No Beardos."
We also need to know what he used this line for, besides taking orders from Moscow.

If I were provost at Texas Tech right now I would be considering whether my feet were cute enough for an OnlyFans page.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Honestly, the strategic incompetence of this administration gives me great comfort. By targeting Mark Kelly, they have elevated the visibility of an extremely effective communicator who would be hugely threatening to them as a centrist presidential candidate.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

I do not understand anything that is happening here, the most glaring of which is that Trump sounds like a relatively normal person.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable.
This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.

There are a lot of people on here today flipping out at the possibility that other people on here might be giving Rep. Jewish Space Lasers credit for anything. To those people, I remind you that the Allies could not have won WWII without the USSR, so maybe make some tea and just breathe through it.

The fact that @harvard.edu's Larry Summers is teaching three courses this semester while Texas A&M Professor Melissa McCoul was fired tells you all you need to know about what "gender ideology" is allowed and which is not. @aaup.org
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein.

Today I read that Cecil Rhodes said "I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far.” And this made Elon Musk snap into historical context in a very specific way.

The GOP is going to see some seemingly inexplicable erosion of support across different subsets of the 45-64 crowd and it’s going to turn out to be entirely parents of 15 year old girls.

When I was a little kid, my brother and I used to play a game where we were space warriors. Our parents didn’t let us have toy guns so we’d use the nozzle from the garden hose. I’m sure we looked completely ridiculous.
No one has ever reminded me more of that hose nozzle than Chuck Schumer.
