Today was the second day of final exams for Brown University students. Instead of finishing the semester strong, thousands were forced to shelter-in-place while an active shooter stormed the campus. Reports say at least two people were killed, and eight others are in critical, but stable, condition.

If you have to say “I’m a smart person” and wear a hat that says you are right about everything…you probably aren’t that smart and we all know you’re not right about everything. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?

Only an evil person would dismiss the concerns of families who lost loved ones because of government failures
REPORTER: Families are upset because warnings didn't go out in time. What do you say to those families?

TRUMP: Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.

This is not a big beautiful bill–This is one of the cruelest bills we’ve seen in our country’s history, and it’s going to decimate Iowa.

People are going to die because of this bill. But it won’t be Joni Ernst and her rich friends.

It will be our families, our friends, and our neighbors.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

Sir, the only thing down is your approval rating…and maybe my braincell count every time I hear you speak.
Trump on strollers: "All costs are down. Everything is down other than the thing you carry the babies around in."

I’m a mechanic, marine, and sports radio host, raised in a trailer park in Mason City, Iowa.

I'm fighting for a Democratic Party that people like me actually want to be a part of.

I'm Nathan Sage. I'm running for US Senate. And I'm going to kick Joni Ernst's ass next November.

Add your name NOW to send a clear message to Congress that we, the people, reject any attempts to strip away our freedom to vote: MoveOn.org/StopSaveAct
BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE Act, which requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.

Over half of all Americans do not have a passport. Millions more do not have access to their birth certificate.

21 MILLION citizens will be impacted.

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.

Republicans in Iowa are trying to ban the words “evolution” and “climate change” from being used in public schools… but maybe this will help lower the price of eggs.

While this DEI argument is crazy and has much of the attention…I think we should be focusing on the fact he is building concentration camps. Are we the human race going to let this happen?

As a middle school teacher, I have to pick and choose my battles. The clicking of the pen was not going to win today. And calling me “not sigma” won’t save your pen either. Happy Monday!
