To everyone freaking out that Trump will drag the US into a war with Iran on behalf of Israel, he already said he was going to... less than two months ago, he's so chaotic and dumb nobody really noticed.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

Brown skies and high winds in Oklahoma today. On days like this you can really see how the dust bowl happened.

Don't get ahead of yourself. They're an awful, awful corporation that fucks its employees and customers at every chance. Its shareholders simply recognize DEI is actually more popular than anything Trump is doing and has a positive effect on profits.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

HE DOING NOT LIKE US AT THE FUCKING SUPERBOWL

HE SMILED AT THE CAMERA SAYING “SAY DRAKE”

WHOLE ARENA SAY “A MINORRRRRRR”

100/10 no notes

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!

she shouts into the void

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.

It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Overcome the narrative. Female copilot of the helicopter crash was: In the top 20%, a fierce warrior, the best leader, excelled at flight school, recruited in college (due to reputation).
DO NOT LET REPUBLICANS TARNISH AN EXCELLENT SERVICE MEMBER because she was a girl.

WATCH: “Instead of giving money to private schools that don’t take kids like me, please help public schools get better and fund them.”

The White House has imposed sanctions on Columbia Unversity!
What did they do?

Matthew W. Huttle, who served time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following an altercation with the officer.

Police say Huttle was armed and resisted arrest.
