1,000 victims of sexual exploitation. Can you even imagine the pain these girls, now women, endured?

All because they were taken advantage of by self-centered, wealthy men who cared more about satisfying their own sick“desires” than the life of the girl in front of them. It’s time 4 accountability

I'm not entirely convinced I believe her intentions are wholehearted. Her complaint about insurance and housing affordability stems from the shock her son has to pay. But...maybe her words portend a real change??
Marge suddenly realizes that MAGA is a violent cult.

Yes. And, is housing now an American right? He said "by right." So, let's make sure the unhoused get their homes. I'm sure that's on the agenda.

I teach my ninth graders that making an argument or a counterclaim requires "evidence" not an "agenda."
You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

I think they made a typo. Shouldn't it read, "President Trump's Hall of Shame?"
This is without a doubt the worst possible timeline

Isn't the president's "obligatory tradition" to lead and care for all citizens, regardless of... well, anything? He CHOSE to host a lavish party while ignoring his actual duties and obligations.
Q: What about the split screen between Trump only administering part of the SNAP program while he's having a Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago?

MIKE JOHNSON: The president had an annual Halloween-themed party. That's what he went back to. His obligatory tradition. I discount what you're trying to do there

I know everyone is concerned about SNAP benefits disappearing as am I. Please do not forget teachers- many of whom struggle with food insecurity. A gift card to a local grocery store might be a nice holiday gift.

I'm confused. What's political about hunger?
Gee, I can’t imagine why…

But, what about the long term health costs of food dyes, salt, antifa sprinkles, and the communist sauce?
Fox News is talking about Hamburger Helper and how it can help when money is tight.

Perfect reference for this "tRumpossal" Wreck

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

So, he's his own president? Not the president of and for the people? I'm so confused. I think my high school Civics teacher lied to me.
WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

I teach Expository Writing to juniors in high school. How can I let our president know I'm available for tutoring on the finer points of writing, like, I don't know, coherence? Punctuation is not like confetti? Use of precise, meaningful, very nice, words? Should I use Signal, X, or B(*&(*^ Social?
Trump's negotiating with a city like it’s a contestant on The Apprentice.

Maybe tRump should stop posting AI harassment videos about the Americans he's supposed to lead???
How does she serve if she hasn't been sworn in?
Mike Johnson on Adelita Grijalva, who he refuses to swear in: "Instead of doing TikTok videos, she should be serving her constituents."

According to mikejohnson.house.gov/about/, he serves in Congress "[w]ith two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law, Mike previously served on the House Judiciary Committee, and as chairman of its Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government."
He should know better.

I live in CT and teach near Sandy Hook. Several colleagues had children who attended that school when they were young. What he put those families, children, teachers through- disgraceful is not nearly a strong enough word.
Alex Jones will have to pay his $1.4 billion judgement after the Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal.
Jones was handed his judgement by default after he refused to show up for court. He was found guilty of defaming families in Sandy Hook.

There’s more Botox in the Trump cabinet than in a dented can of beans.
