Weird, because I distinctly remember being told by John Roberts that, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." Apparently when you affect naivete to make it sound like wisdom, it does not apply to federal forces in the performance of evil.

I love the way he not only proves he is alive, he also subtly taunts Ron DeSantis by stealing his uber-masculine white boots look.

He is back and he is warmed over!

I hold Republican members of congress responsible as well. They could decide that American lives matter than their utter obeisance to Dear Leader, but they not only lack the courage, they also lack the moral compass.

It takes some very special skills to be able to bankrupt 4 different casinos. Trump is scaling up now, to be able to bring financial ruin to the entire country.

Ivana Trump's gravesite at Trump's Bedminster golf course.

I wonder if Trump, with all his knowledge about grass, can tell us why this particular patch of grass and weeds is looking so raggedy.

At the time when having a fourth estate became crucial, our press has become absorbed in figuring out the very least they can do and still look like they are reporting.

I'll be asking Kevin Kiley for an in-person town hall. A virtual town hall won't do the trick, as he will screen the questions and avoid the ones he doesn't want to answer, like the one about why he would vote to protect the identity of the pedophiles on the Epstein tapes.

Watch carefully how the network news selects which video of the ICE protests to present, to understand what conclusions they intend for their audiences to make. We all need to realize what our country is up against, as MSM outlets are trying on their own versions of being state news.

Republican Crumbles When Pressed About Tax Bill at Heated Town Hall Republicans Rep. Mike Flood struggled to defend supporting Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" tax bill in front of angry constituents at a town hall.

Republican Rep. Mike Flood appeared before his constituents in Nebraska for a town hall that turned ugly as he tried to defend Trumpโ€™s โ€œbig, beautiful bill."

Unfortunately, Flood hadnโ€™t actually read the bill...

Electricians and plumbers were precisely the people her boss routinely refused to pay back when he was a shady, failed real estate guy. And f--k her for her her gratuitous homophobia.

Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations โ€” paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids.

We canโ€™t let that happen.

Musk Retweets โ€˜Hitler Didnโ€™t Murder Millionsโ€™ Message Amid Ongoing Nazi Controversy Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.

Elon Musk just shared a post that said public sector workers, not Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, murdered millions of people, marking the billionaireโ€™s latest Nazi-related post as he and his electric vehicle company face continued backlash and boycotts.

Ghastly, right?

Trumpโ€™s cuts threaten key NSF undergrad research program For decades, Research Experience for Undergraduates has been a golden ticket for students, funding summer research projects at top institutions. Now, at least a dozen are canceled.

Hereโ€™s what is happening to REUs (funded by the National Science Foundation); this administration is intentionally breaking the pipeline of scientists and mathematicians at each connection point. www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

Also, IMO that process is the secret sauce for teacher growth. Paying more attention to individual student thinking is a part of the most wondrous feedback loop.

If a teacher pays enough attention to each student to appreciate their real strengths (not just in skills, but strengths in how they think and the situations in which they think best), then their students, especially those most apt to be tripped up along the way, are more likely to learn and thrive.

The thing I can't help but notice about the choices that DOGE is implementing is that they all reek of Social Darwinism.

Musk apparently believes that there's money to be made in trodding on the downtrodden, in expanding each and every existing gap in outcomes for Americans.

Agreed, fractions are a way of writing a rational number. Otherwise, we might have to call 0.131313โ€ฆ a fraction, as it is a way of writing 13/99.
