So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

This is a ploy so they can shut it down on Sunday, blame it on Biden, then turn it back on in 1-2 days so Trump can play the hero and claim credit. It’s sad to see that the Chinese Communist Party is working with Trump so closely to deceive app users and the American people.

One more note to this bracing essay: the US Constitution, while not being very old, is nonetheless the oldest of all current democratic charters. Democracy is a very new thing in the world, and not deeply rooted.

Opinion | We like to think of the Constitution as eternal. It’s anything but.
The entire run of American constitutionalism can be encompassed in three lifespans.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

When social networks silence activists, it’s on us to amplify each other’s voices. Share, repost, and ensure the truth spreads faster than they can suppress it.
