I have strong feelings about Oxford commas & double spaces after periods. Will never say no to a cheese enchilada. Live by the Golden Rule, but still love me some occasional schadenfreude. 🤘⬇️

Trump’s waiting by the phone for Xi Jinping to call. But Beijing’s not blinking — and they’ve got more than just tariffs in their playbook. They can block US companies, squeeze rare earth exports, dump Treasuries, and hit our farmers hard.
China’s playing the long game & Trump doesn’t even know it.

American farms supply ~41% of the food aid USAID sends around the world each year.
In 2020, they bought $2.1 BILLION in food aid from American farmers.

the problem with “norms” is they’re just held together with common sense and a fear of shame. when people have neither, it all collapses.
The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant.
The Framers didn't expect a majority of Congress would be cowards and fools who cheered it like pigs celebrating the arrival of the butcher.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

These orders aren’t coming from Donald Trump. He’s the useful idiot for Heritage Foundation, the 100 organizations that wrote Project 2025, and the donors that paid $25M+ to fund it. They aren’t even scrubbing the meta data off the PDF’s.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

I'm more than disgusted. Mitch should look in the mirror. Had he rallied his Senate team to convict Donald Trump after his second impeachment we would not be here. A simple majority vote was needed after that to ban Trump from office.
