CBS News, The Free Press and Bank of America think so.

Introducing Things That Matter

Debates with hard questions with people who are in my group DM that all agree with each other. Asking hard questions like, "Are college students too woke?"

Mookie Betts is apparently streaming with this dude today.
On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score

Suspend him tbh

The Supreme Court cannot “uphold the longstanding principle” or “strike down birthright citizenship.” The Supreme Court can follow the plain text of the constitution or declare itself in rebellion to the constitution. These are the only two options wrt birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.
