Right. They are so scared and selfish that they would just as soon destroy everything instead of building something new.

Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity.

Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.

It's so exhausting that a small, locked-in group of people can continue to stall any type of progress, over and over again.

Federal Funding for People in Poverty Is Going to Anti-Abortion Centers Instead At least eight states gave Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to crisis pregnancy centers in recent years.

The bulk of the money Missouri gives to its crisis pregnancy centers comes from federal funds meant to assist families experiencing poverty with basic necessities and childcare. Crisis pregnancy centers are mostly religious nonprofits that have a mission of preventing people from having an abortion.

Four people, with their hands up, standing behind 2 people sitting. 

The four people standing are US citizens who were detained, the two people are families whose family members were killed by migrants.

Jayapal is now introducing 4 US citizens who were detained for at least 6 hours merely for observing ICE.

Kristi Noem sent a much-delayed list of USCit detained by ICE yesterday. None of these four were on the list.

They don't have to respond to this nonsense. She wants him to respond so she can continue her little pet obsession. He should've just stared at her blank faced, pretended he didn't know she was asking a question about fraud.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

Our members are being squeezed as salaries lag behind rising prices. Educators shouldn’t be priced out of the communities we serve. When we’re forced out, students lose. This is exactly why we've launched #FightForAffordability. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/b...

It's pretty clear Tom Brady is running the Raiders straight into the ground.

The "wellness" grifter who has worked closely with Brady over the years is standing in for Brady and helping to run the damn team. It's bad.

MAGA Unreality vs the World The U.S. government is in the hands of people who are fully detached from reality. That is a major weakness for the regime – but also a source of further radicalization.

Accelerating genocide in Gaza while doing war crimes to distract everyone and set up a second genocide in Iran… is sure what this looks like to me.

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net
