Indiana football, no longer perennial loser, is college football's ultimate revolutionary
Curt Cignetti declared his program was an emerging superpower, the Hoosiers took their licks after losses and for their schedule, but Cignetti delivered on his promise.

describing struggling people who need help as "playing video games all day"—all while giving $38 billion in gov contracts to elon musk to *literally* play video games all day—is vile on every possible level. failed state behavior
Mike Johnson on Medicaid: "What we've talked about is returning work requirements ... you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day. We have a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid."

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.
