I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

Whatever this is, it’s Not Good. This is a drastic step and obviously not meant to alert CIA Director Ratcliffe, rather to alert us. Given Wyden’s interest in privacy and surveillance and what’s going on around the country, I’d wager a bit of money that the CIA has been doing domestic things.

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.
