Yet at the same time, they attack Harvard and other universities, claiming they are being “too political” and may be in violation of their tax-exempt status.

The IRS announced that churches and other houses of worship are now allowed to endorse political candidates to their congregations, effectively carving out an exemption to the longstanding ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.

It doesn't make Joe Rogan or Elon Musk "good guys" if they "turn against" Trump, but it "matters" however annoyingly because it's the necessary beginning of a permission structure for young dumb men to stop seeing Trump as distinct/apart from "The Govt/System" which they're disinclined to like.

So Joe Rogan slow ass is finally getting what we’ve known for years about Trump? I cringe every time MAGA morons said they didn’t vote for this. So what did you vote for? His deadly incompetence during Covid? Jan 6 insurrection? The constant lies? The racism? The sexism? The bigotry? Etc. GTFOH!

When our plaintiff Jim Obergefell lost his husband John, he simply wanted to be listed as his spouse on John’s death certificate.

Ten years ago today, Jim won at the Supreme Court in our monumental case, Obergefell v. Hodges, that brought marriage equality for same-sex couples to all 50 states.

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech.

He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name.

He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans.

There is strength in restraint. Discipline is power, especially when they try to provoke chaos. Trump is manufacturing a crisis, but your safety remains our top priority. Play the long game.

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling.

What is Mr. Trump doing about this?

He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.
