Turning Point USA has grown into one of the most influential engines of Christian nationalism in the U.S. Former hosts describe staged “miracle” testimonies, pastors with abuse histories elevated as spiritual authorities, and a vast $85M network steeped in Seven Mountain ideology.

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.
He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.

If nothing else, be thankful for the smallpox vaccine. Also, modern period products. And modern dentistry. And anesthesia, and antibiotics, and no-fault divorce.
One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

Consumer buying power goes back to the 1890s when women took it upon themselves to use their buying power. Learn the history here and how it effected change.

Dear young people,
Once upon a time in America products were built to last and could be repaired. That’s why your grandmother’s washing machine, refrigerator and stove still work. Their shoes could get a new sole and clothes altered.
Yep, the before times.
