Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Americans are dyeing potatoes, rocks, and marshmallows this Easter. But the White House is using 30,000 real eggs — totaling more than $15,000 with average carton prices reaching $6.22 — for its annual Egg Roll.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."
Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

@shaheen.senate.gov it was disappointing to see you vote for cloture to advance the CR, but it was enlightening to see you as the only “Democrat” to vote FOR this the GOP budget. Good riddance. Democratic voters in New Hampshire deserve a real Democratic senator.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity.
All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

Yeah this wasn't on my radar until last summer's Paris Olympics and the meltdown on social media over the Algerian boxer. It made the connection for me how the trans women in sports freak out circles around to controlling all women. Absolutely morbid. And eye opening.

The media should relentlessly be explaining three facts:
1. Payroll is a very small part of govt. spending
2. It is possible to cripple govt. and save little
2. In addition to being illegal/unconstitutional, DOGE cuts are a rounding error compared to numbers in budget resolution

The federal government *regularly* spends money to encourage behavior it couldn’t compel directly. Like paying states to build roads or fund healthcare for those who can’t afford it.
It’s called the Spending Clause—and it’s the very first enumerated power that the Constitution gives to Congress.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
