It’s alarming that close allies of Mike Lawler were named in yesterday’s Politico article about the leaked group messages. We call on him to release his messages with those individuals, to reassure NY17 that when he condemns violence publicly, he's not glorifying it privately.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden’s execution. But he called for it in the right way.

Pretty dark black pill moment that people looking for work in all kinds of industries are reporting how hellish it is to fight through the AI spam, only for the brownshirts to be going on an obscene hiring spree

In this Ohio diner, a strategic reserve still means the flask you keep in your Carhartt jacket for when the bartender cuts you off. But they do know this: the United States government needs to stockpile crypto to make sure we don’t run out of crypto.

My “This is not a quid pro quo” footnote is bringing up a lot of questions already answered by my footnote.

It shouldn't be surprising that the goal of DOGE is to cut funding from almost every single government program including childhood cancer research because the GOP truly believes that the most efficient government is no government at all, no matter who pays the price.

I would add that rejecting "viewpoint diversity" is the entire point of the academy. We evaluate the value of ideas, and drop charlatans claiming global warming isn't real, discrimination doesn't exist, or vaccines cause autism.
They've lost in the "marketplace of ideas" so are rigging the game.

The very same people who lambasted DEI efforts as a subversion of the meritocracy are happily taking money and jobs in the name of “viewpoint diversity”
This is a deeply researched article showing the web of conservative foundations and think tanks supporting efforts like UNC’s “civic life” school. Basically, if you study U.S. history through a conservative lens, there’s money out there for you.

Let’s talk about Direct File.
It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS.
You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company.
It’s more efficient!
But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.
