What kind of messed up country are we in where the study of what it means to be human—the humanities—is under threat because it supposedly doesn’t make you enough money right away? We need to be thinking about what it means to be human now more than ever.

Tomorrow, Mike Johnson's majority in the House will be down to one vote, which means, in my humble opinion, that Rep. Thomas Massie has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

SHABOOZEY: “Immigrants built this country.”

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

It’s about priorities.
