I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Megyn: The law recognizes no difference between raping an 8-year-old and raping a 15-year-old. Both victims are underage and therefore unable to provide consent. And you are an awful person for using that distinction to explain away the rape of underage girls. You wouldn't do that for Bill Clinton.

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins:
“What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”

This would upend whatever is left of the country as we know it.
Head Start, the early child care program launched six decades ago as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “war on poverty,” has historically had support from both sides of the aisle and helped more than 40 million children. Now, Project 2025 calls for eliminating the Head Start program altogether.
Child Care Funding Cuts Will Compound Crises for Generations to Come
Access to child care is already inadequate across the US. Trump’s funding cuts to Head Start will make it far worse.

There is absolutely no chance this approaches anything remotely resembling science, because the science has already been done and proven it a non-issue.
NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning.
This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.

Question, has it become rude to clap at the end of musical numbers or cheer for big moments? I haven’t been to the movies in a while and I sure felt odd making all that noise. I can remember theaters erupting for big moments. Relic of a bygone era?
