Excellent article!! One exchange basically develops the line of attack the Dems should use in 2026

"President Trump asks a lot of the right questions. But he almost always has the wrong answer"

That is so cool Brian! I finally got a chance to see it and you totally rocked it. Love the part where you tell them you sold the car and donated the proceeds to the ACLU! Rock on bro.

These are all true except for the IOC taking back Tommie Smith's medals after raising his fist. That apparently is not true according to Google Search Labs.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

You know how many of the most gruesome and weird plot points in Game of Thrones are based directly on real historical events? Our era is going to provide so much fodder for future fiction writers.

I donated. It would be great to have a social-media protocol that wasn't subject to capture, and it does seem possible.

Six Webb images of little red dots are combined in a two-row mosaic. Each little red dot is centered within a square frame and lies against the black background of space. Each dot has a yellow-white circular core surrounded by a red, fuzzy ring. White text in the top left corner of each box lists the source’s name from the Webb surveys, and its redshift. From left to right, the top row reads CEERS 14448, z = 4.75; NGDEEP 4321, z = 8.92; and PRIMER-COS 10539, z = 7.48. The bottom row reads CEERS 20320, z = 5.27; JADES 9186, z = 4.99; and PRIMER-UDS 17818, z = 6.40.

I feel bad for Texas, as a leading public university system is being damaged by politics and racism. But I feel worse for minority students whose opportunities are being snatched away.

120 million people could experience subzero temps soon. Where the cold will be worst. A lobe of the polar vortex will arrive in the United States this weekend, bringing the lowest temperatures in years and snow and ice to the East and Deep South.

Much of the country is in for widespread and dangerously cold temperatures beginning this weekend β€” and lasting through much of next week β€” as a lobe of the polar vortex over northern Greenland is projected to swirl more than 3,000 miles south toward the United States.
