And for those wondering, A LOT of pro-life Christians have kids with Down Syndrome and say their decision to not abort made them opposed to abortion. (Though there are also plenty of pro-choice parents of disabilities and plenty of people with disabilities are pro-choice).

"Pete Hegseth is planning for the military to sever all ties with Scouting America, saying the group... is no longer a meritocracy and has become an organization designed to "attack boy-friendly spaces..."

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.
