Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Jack Smith is non-partisan, career civil servant who spent 30 years working for both Republican and Democratic Administrations. MAGA 'Gym' Jordan tried to paint a false picture but was outclassed.

Smith has "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" of Trump's guilt.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

CBP Chief Greg Bovino practically bragged about arresting protesters to Fox News, claiming they had cuffed U.S. nationals for assaulting border patrol agents.

Meanwhile, the tactics utilized by ICE agents, masked and intentionally hiding their identities, have been appalling. trib.al/qHfMlU8

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!

The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Trump, the felon who has pardoned fraudsters and appeals to fraud-loving supporters, should sit this one out.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Since folks still want to argue about the election being “stolen” today, I’m going to point you to some raw data.

53% of white women and 69% of white men voted for Trump in 2024. If you think Dearborn, MI, or a small county in PA, proves something that overcomes whiteness, whew do you need a CTJ.
