Fascinating history! When segregation was no longer a viable platform, George Wallace used electricity rates to rile up voters. His tactics ultimately caused blowback that led to a system of automatic rate increases without oversight.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

1. We have actual government healthcare in the US, which is the VA; it works better than our more privatized counterparts.
2. The DMV varies a lot, but many of them have really improved their services over time. The stereotype has incredible staying power.

Part of the reason I think many insecure manosphere men think this way is because dogs do care for us in a way that makes many men uncomfortable. Their love is openly, frequently expressed, and having a dog as a companion does require us to be vulnerable and open in turn.

This interview with Lindsey Graham is ridiculous.
No politician should be allowed to grandstand in support of Trump bombing boats or going to war with Venezuela without being challenged on why he pardoned a major drug kingpin, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Trump offering states a "deal" like the higher ed compact that would vastly and unconstitutionally expand the federal government's powers (in this case, over election administration)
Here's the deal, says USDOJ to states: we're going to send you lists of voters we think are ineligible, and you're going to take them off the rolls. That "would hand the federal govt a major role in election admin, a responsibility that belongs to the states under the U.S. Constitution." [Stateline]

-More-interesting-than-usual story on Trump's extortion demands on Harvard. (Remember when this was all about the MAGA/Fuentes team's heartfelt concern about antisemitism?)
-Headline badly mismatches contents of the story. As the reporting makes clear, the "escalation" is all on MAGA side.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Actually shocked that the Atlantic published any part of this snotty, ill-informed piece but the ‘could it be treachery?’ is as ridiculous as it is offensive.
The @theatlantic.com claims that Canadians will use "treachery" to make America and its media look "silly".
No, we are a democratic people who hate thugs and their pusillanimous enablers.
Deal with it.
