I'm here for mathematics and education ... oh, and math education ... I'm certain I'll get into other discussions, as well, but "priorities," you know?

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

It ought to be noted, more often, that the GOP has decided it's better (for them) to

(1) Shut down the Federal Government (2) Take a weeks long vacation (3) Let THOUSANDS of people go unpaid (4) Cut food assistance (5) Cut flights across the country

than entertain a discussion about US healthcare

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Nice to see the Aces roll ... absolutely dominant since early August

Officiating basketball is hard, the officiating in the W is awful

And soon we find out whether the W gets to continue ... a new CBA is coming

Pay these women!

Torture is a crime.

Being an immigrant is not a crime.
Immigrants nationwide placed in solitary confinement for weeks, report says: "We are torturing people simply because they want a better life in the U.S.," says Sam Zarifi, executive director of Physicians for Human Rights

This is false as a matter of law, but it’s also useful as an admission that Republicans are perfectly happy with the government shutdown and will use it as a pretext to harm more Americans.
Mike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

And now the military can operate freely, anywhere, including US cities, since he's removing those pesky rules of engagement

This is absurd

If indictments were convictions, trump wouldn't be President ... he'd be in jail like his buddy from Brazil

But they're not. Theres a trial. And we'll all see how this plays out
MacCALLUM: Do you think there are more indictments coming?

JD VANCE: There are certainly gonna be more indictment coming over the next 3.5 years of the Trump administration ... unfortunately for James Comey, when I look at this indictment, I see a guy who lied under oath

Absurd that the "party of law and order" just sits on their hands and watches this whole thing unfold

Whether you go by month/day/year or day/month/year, if we write the date as one number, we will get a square number! Both sides can agree that today's date is a square date.

Seems like a really bad precedent to set, considering those who are currently in the office and how blatantly they bend the truth

Pays to remember that indictments aren't convictions, and weak indictments will get smoked in court
Comer: "Comey isn't the only person who has lied to Congress. Dr. Fauci lied to the House Oversight Committee. Hunter Biden lied to the House Oversight Committee. Jim Biden lied to the House Oversight Committee. There are criminal referrals there as well. I think Comey is the first step."
