Michael from The Good Place: “Bill Kristol gets it? BILL. This is a low point. Yeah, this hurts…”
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

The democrats should be clanging a gong and shouting about the DOJ go away to RealPage which gives them a slap on the wrist but will still allow them to continue price-fixing.
Trump: "There's this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about -- 'affordability.' They just say the word. It doesn't mean anything to anybody. They just say it. 'Affordability.' I inherited the worst inflation in history ... the word 'affordability' is a con job by the Democrats"

i think if the TA did not call the language offensive and also gave the student an 13/25, that the exact same controversy would take place and you would find some other reasons to explain your need to victim blame
the TA here did a few things that make her defense harder. the big ones are (1) calling out religious language as offensive and (2) giving her a 0/25. those things make it a lot easier to claim that she was being singled out.
