Opinion: While condemning violence is something most can get behind, the sanitization of Charlie Kirk's hate has gone too far, argues Erin Reed.
We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life

There's something about still being surprised by each day's new depths of depravity that somehow feels hopeful.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

Dems declaring they want to fund a Joe Rogan of the left is frustrating because it's in the ballpark of the right idea but wrong in ways that make it untenable.

The Joe Rogan of the left is Chappelle Roan, but they can only picture a dudebro who likes Democrats.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Anyway, do what you want. If I’ve learned anything about men and boys in this lifetime is that y’all are just gonna do what you want.

But I pray for you to get free with the rest of us. Liberation is work, sure. But it’s joyful work. And we all deserve the BLESSING transformation makes possible.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?

There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.
