U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The Republican Supreme Court justices believe that facts have a liberal bias
As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."
Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Every time he brags about that cognitive test, I’m reminded it’s the one where you have to identify a picture of a lion. The fact that he thinks it’s an achievement might actually be the test.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

Five separate times this season, Mark Stoops has trotted out his team and proceeded to look impossibly awful, resulting in calls each time for him to finally be fired. But he will likely NOT be fired because Mitch F'ing Barnhardt was stupid enough to give him an absurd contract.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

It's really something that Mark Stoops was able to go from winning multiple bowl games and beating Penn St in a bowl game to being the worst team in the SEC, while being a top 10 paid coach in the country.

It's going to be tough for Kentucky to be good if,
1) they can't figure out a point guard and floor leader
2) they can't figure out how to create shots for each other
3) they don't play defense.

Two things can be true:
Louisville is a pretty good team.
Kentucky isn't playing nearly their best (and still without arguably the best player on their team, Quaintance).

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
