“You have such an easy job!”
“You don’t work many hours!”
“You get to go home at 3!”
“You get summers off!”
“You have so many breaks during the year!”

IF IT’S SO GREAT, why does America currently have the biggest teaching shortage in U.S. history?

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

I am in my 22nd year of teaching, and we pledge allegiance to the flag every morning, every day. Proof that this idiot has no clue about schools or education.

BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security.

One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits.

You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.

Why are 'christians' out here celebrating the richest man on the planet shutting down programs that help the poor????

[PA BATs R Pro Charter Reform @PennBat]

The racist guy who can't properly blend his foundation is calling us ugly. Okay hon.

He's also mad about..sporks and peanuts????

What an utter embarrassment!!

Hi, immunologist here.

No, people shouldn’t have a different vaccine schedule based on their race.

RFK Jr doesn’t know basic science concepts and certainly doesn’t understand complex immunology.

BREAKING

A judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Judge Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, said:

“I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Hey, Dems. Stop saying Trump cut funding for the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Act,” & start saying “Trump defunded our roads & bridges.”

Focus on the concrete actions that impact everyday Americans. Messaging & language matter.

[Raleigh @itsraleigh]

Taylor Swift needs to sue the living fuck out of Elon shithead and X immediately.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

To be clear, you're calling for a New Jersey-born bishop to be deported because you don't like that she exercised her First Amendment right by delivering a sermon in accordance with her faith imploring Trump to show empathy to people?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people?

REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that?

ACOSTA: What do you mean you don't know? We're showing the footage right now.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man.

The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Right now @AOC is speaking out against the Laken Riley Act, which would mandate ICE detention for migrants charged with nonviolent crimes and upend immigration law.

"Look at what members of Congress are invested in private prison companies...and look at the votes on this bill."

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

White guy in the outpatient pharmacy line is happy Trump’s finally doing away with Obamacare. Says his Affordable Care Act is “untouchable.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're repealing regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.

They are talking about civil rights

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Republicans in Congress are saying the quiet part out loud: cuts for grandma in the nursing home to fund tax giveaways for billionaires.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Trump blames other countries for sending us criminals, and then he pardons and releases 1500 ACTUAL CRIMINALS.

[PA BATs R Pro Charter Reform @PennBat]

@JasmineForUS "I think Trump will give us a better plan."

Yes, really, even though we've been waiting to see it since 2015ish.

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

I’ve got a serious question. If you have MAGA friends,
please share their responses because for the life of me I can’t wrap my head around anyone wanting prescription drugs to be more expensive except the ceos of those companies… what am I missing? The “devils” of the last administration reduced costs & on day one, Trump was prioritized on reversing course. I’ve not heard the wild spin on this issue so I’m wanting to hear it.
