Obviously, we need to rename the self-own. It is now the Eric Schmitt. And no — for shame. We will not call it “Schmitting the bed.” @SenEricSchmitt

As is so often the case the MAGA revolution was never for people at the bottom. It was for mediocrities in the middle, who hungered to be elite.
The official U.S. Department of Education account posted, then deleted, a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler. Captioned “No one does it like us” with a tiger emoji, the video opens with a scene from Darkest Hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger.

Trump today, yet again: “I’m a smart person.” You know who never says “I’m a smart person?” Actual smart people. Also Trump today: “I’m not a dictator.”

Trump promising to clean up toxins while gutting the EPA Telling a heart-warming story about somebody beating cancer while cutting off NIH research funds Promising to protect children's health while backing a budget that targets Medicaid And that was all in the last 10 minutes

A lot of people are portraying USAID as some sort of bastion of looney DEI excesses. Let’s take a look at what the sudden arresting of their operation is doing to global health. Please read the thread (my thread, not Ryan James’):
About 99% of Americans had no idea what USAID was 30 seconds ago and if they had known they'd demand it be closed years ago. Every type of wasteful federal project imaginable came out of that useless institution. This is not the hill to die on that Democrats think it is
