Sleepy
Incapable of: using their lights; switching away from brights; staying inside the lane.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

“Masks prevent the transmission of respiratory viruses. The science is clear,” writes Iris Gorfinkel. “The standards are in place. A health policy that reacts to hospitalizations and deaths falls below the long-held standard of do-no-harm. Policies that are enacted only once hospitalizations are high do the opposite.

Trump: "To lower prices we're going to do tariffs that aren't a tax on us but a tax on them and we're going to use the money to reduce the national debt because it's too big and we're spending too much on other countries and not putting Americans first so we'll end USAID and give $20b to Argentina."

We’ve heard “shut up and dribble.” And of course “shut up and sing.” Now they’re telling the moral leader of the Catholic Church to “shut up and pray?”

Actually it’s really just “shut up and bend the knee.” And that’s to everyone.

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.
