Taking a moment to reflect on how Jimmy Carter spent his years post-presidency in humanitarian work both here and abroad. Carter set an example for how to dedicate one's life to public service. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing to all who loved him. 🕊
BREAKING: A bipartisan bill was just introduced that would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down, introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA).

Absolutely no shade to op but I didn't fully believe this absolute fuckery so I not only read the article but I read the abstract and then then downloaded the pdf of the study itself and y'all
Y'all
They were using saline and water.
Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
This is the story of all the CIA assets dying in a parallel to when Trump was showing classified documents to people with no clearance at Mar-a-Lago. I thought you'd want to read it. RT for max exposure.

I really want to hear how Republicans reconcile the whole "Democrats don't care about our national debt" argument with this simple, yet informative chart:
1989-1992 - Bush increases our deficit.
1993-2000 - Clinton has a budget surplus
2001-2008 - Bush increases our deficit, also sparks Great Recession
2009-2016 - Obama reduces our deficit significantly after an increase as he takes office during the Great Recession
2017-2020 - Trump increases our deficit thanks to Tax Cuts, before Covid explodes our deficit further
2021-2023 - Biden Takes over during Covid and begins reducing our deficit
Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?
I know that our national debt is a problem and both sides should be blamed to some extent, but the GOP narrative that this is a Democratic problem is just laughable to me.
OOPS! Looks like Fox News allowed a bit of truth to slip into their coverage of the train derailment story in East Palestine, OH — they're blaming trump!!!🤯
Be a real shame if everyone retweeted this.
BREAKING: A Train derailed in Washington, killing 3 people, injuring 62, and causing $40 million in damage. Biden & Pete Buttigieg will not be going to the scene and there will be no FEMA aid given.
Now that I got your attention, this accident actually happened in 2017 under President Trump. Trump never visited the crash site, and neither did his Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Instead Trump used the crash to try and tout his failed infrastructure plan, tweeting, “shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly.” He then went on to deregulate multiple safety precautions on trains.
No FEMA aid was given to anyone after this accident either and it was otherwise ignored by the administration.
Never forget how we got here:
In 2018, the Association of American Railroads spent $4,737,989, and Norfolk Southern spent $1,025,330, lobbying to reverse the Obama-era ECP brake safety rule that was designed to prevent disasters like this.
The Trump administration reversed it.
