YES, I think about this insight from Marilyn Frye all the time. When I first read this essay in college, it was like a lightning storm in my brain in the best way. So many questions were answered.

BREAKING: "FIFA opens office in Trump Tower"

The Left’s Litigation Trap Poorly chosen liberal lawsuits are a gift to a conservative majority eager to recast constitutional law.

Remember this.

Trump’s Team Is Lying About Iran’s WMD He savaged Bush for distorting intelligence and overselling the military’s initial success in Iraq. Now Trump and his team are doing the same in Iran.

For anyone out there who thought we'd suddenly love Trump because he bombed Iran, read this from @saletan.bsky.social:

Louisiana hospitals warn Mike Johnson of 'devastation' from megabill

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University.

Trump, 78, Stumbles Climbing Stairs to Air Force One The moment recalled a similar coordination fumble made by former president Joe Biden.

The president nearly face-planted as he made his way up the stairs to Air Force One.

He hates Camp David. Why is he going there?

A message to the press specifically about deployment of the #NationalGuard & #Marines in LA: Please exercise extreme caution and accuracy here. There may be infiltrators and agitators and they should NOT drive the narrative.
