Universities are perceived as "Liberal" or "Woke," so they get their funding cut for being political.
Churches are perceived as "conservative," so now they're allowed to endorse political candidates without penalty.
That's really all you need to know about our current government, right?

This was removed from the “Big, Beautiful Bill” due to not conforming to Senate budget reconciliation rules.
Still, the lobby for Twin Metals is working hard to operate copper-nickel sulfide mines near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area that will pollute some of the most beautiful US land.

Even as I’d consider myself a capitalist, you have to agree that the system is broken, not working, when millions are hungry and homeless and there are individuals with the resources to end hunger and homelessness.

Republicans: The Democrat party is bought and paid for by billionaire George Soros. They are CURRUPT!
Also, Republicans: You better pray for Elon Musk. He is a saint sent from God and is being persecuted for being conservative.

It's impossible to be the opposition party at a State of the Union/Joint Address without looking like morons.
For the last four years, Republicans looked like absolute idiots at the SOTU addresses.

Slotkin did a nice job.
Clear. Poised.
One of the better opposition responses in recent memory.
Democrats take note. That’s how you do it. Ditch the paddles and boos.
My bet…Dems ignore it and continue face-planting.

If you are in the bottom 60% of earners AND rely on Medicaid for health coverage, how does this math work out for you?
MAYBE you save $1000 on your taxes next year.
BUT, if you lose health coverage and get sick, how much more than $1000 will that cost you?

A week in the life of hypocrisy:
1. Elon complaining about unelected bureaucrats while being an unelected bureaucrat
