Oh, but they want to award mothers a medal in order to encourage births.

So, right now I know more about Trump's concepts of a plan for occupying Gaza than for revamping the Affordable Care Act.

Hey MAGA! Just because someone is a woman or a racial or sexual minorityย doesnโ€™tย meanย theyโ€™reย a DEI hire. Yes, there are unqualified people being appointed to government positions in the Trump administration, butย they are mostly unqualified, straight white male idiots.

ATTN: MAGA
Your obsession for hypertestesterone white warriors is a formula for defeat in modern warfare. Call of Duty warfare is obsolete. It doesn't matter whether the drone pilots are white, POC, gay, trans, or whatever. Start thinking for yourselves.

Governor praises Trump and Musk in speech, but Idahoโ€™s budget could get DOGEโ€™d | Opinion You canโ€™t complain about federal government spending and then brag about your accomplishments that came from that spending. | Opinion

Gov Little said the president-elect's name ten times in his speech. This Statesman editorial has due warning about what the policies of the incoming administration could actually mean for Idaho.

The Infernal Triangle: King David Political journalism that...

This article is one of the best I've read about how the private equity industry white washes its economic demolition.

David Rubenstein is no patriot and the Carlyle Group is a major contributor to hollowing out America's middle class.

I think Elon Musk should be Speaker of the House. He'd soon learn that it's a lot harder to legislate than to tweet orders.
Which is why he wouldn't accept it if offered.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But itโ€™s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

During my years interacting with friends on F**b**k., the most compelling argument against Adam Schiff was that he had a "pencil neck."
Not very compelling, at that.

Albertsons's argument for merger was that they had to get bigger to compete with Walmart. That, to me, was an argument that Walmart needed to be broken up.
Enforce the Sherman Antitrust Act.
