Louisiana's Congressman thinks that $4,200 a year for groceries is a lot. I'd like to see him try to survive on $11 worth of food per day.
Vote these racist morons out.

One of these funds allows our library patrons to check out a book from almost every library in Michigan.
The Interlibrary loan system allows our libraries to share materials, reduce waste, and increase access to millions of materials for our patrons.

1/Hegseth is now boosting posts claiming the “kill everybody” reporting is a “lie.” At the same time, he frames the strike as Bradley’s decision. He is publicly removing himself from the chain of causation while placing responsibility on the operational commander.

"In the span of about one hour around midnight on Monday, Donald Trump posted and reposted approximately 400 messages that included some of the most deranged conspiracies."

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

Not just a tragedy for America, but, given the central place the US occupies in the research ecosystem, a tragedy for the world.
“Thousands of very competitive projects in areas like cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorders and public health improvements most like went unfunded in 2025.
Similarly, at the National Science Foundation, the roughly 3,000 fewer new grants encompassed reductions to every area of science”
