Trump started “renovating” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in April. After spending $19.2 million of taxpayers’ money, it appears he’s abandoned it.
Jennifer Welch: “The reason why Talarico really bothers them so much is because James Talarico is actually the Jesus Christ style Christian, let’s welcome everybody, I’m not gonna judge drag queens, I’m not gonna judge anybody, but I am gonna judge all of these people who are robbing working class people to make themselves richer and he’s shining a light on greed. He exposes how fraudulent MAGA politicians’ faith is. They’re frauds as men in their masculinity and all of the Christian signaling is total bullshit as well”

The week after Charlie Kirk was murdered, Ellie Fisher, then a third-year law student at Texas Tech, was informed that she was facing allegations that she had “announced Charlie Kirk’s death” in “a manner that was overexuberant.” Fisher suggested that it was a misunderstanding. A month passed, and Fisher assumed that the situation had resolved. Then, on October 14th, Kirk’s birthday, Fisher received an e-mail from the law school’s administrators, informing her that she was under investigation for violating the school’s honor code. She is still trying to clear her name.
