had Biden randomly wandered on the White House roof shouting at reporters about nuclear weapons, Jake Tapper would drop everything to pitch a new series of books and Hannity would anchor ongoing special coverage until 2029

but when Trump does it it's just Trump being Trump!

Superman was incredible. It's as good as everyone says.

This is a fun movie about kindness, hope, and doing the right thing. It is exactly the right movie that the world needs right now and you are telling on yourself if you think it's "woke".

While tourism is booming across the rest of the world, the U.S. is a notable loser this year as tens of millions of international visitors are choosing to travel elsewhereโ€”costing the economy up to $29 billion.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americansโ€ฆand a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

When any politician talks about NOT funding the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) at about 300 million a year but says nothing when the Federal Government gives Elon Musk (worth 359 Billion) 6 Billion for his space company, you know that they are an Oligarchy loving Hypocrite.

So they held their very own! 57 of them came out!

Aged 67-104!

They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them!

They had s sign making day before the event!

They sent this video to me to share.๐Ÿฅฐ

Arkansas Senate narrowly OKs dissolution of State Library; bill heads to House โ€ข Arkansas Advocate SB 536 received the minimum of 18 votes to pass the Senate. Emergency clauses need 24 Senate votes to advance.

Arkansas Republicans just voted to dismantle their state library at the Capitol, pushing a bill that could strip funding from public libraries & censor any books they don't like under vague "age-inappropriate" rules. It now heads to the Arkansas House. The GOPโ€™s continuous war on knowledge continues

Thanks to KC Star for this important story about the local impacts of the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The independent federal agency provides grant funding to many museums and libraries across the country.

Heโ€™s never been to any library, let alone a public library, so he doesnโ€™t care about them.

Same with national parks.

Same with museums.

Same with theater, the arts, or anything cultural.

And he cuts funding for K-9 programs because he loathes dogs. Hired a woman who kills them.
