7.52 for eggs? That’s higher than the min wage!

Attacks on “woke” culture, Critical Race Theory, and AP African American Studies are nothing but transparent efforts by the GOP to create a racial wedge to drive up white turnout. It’s literally the playbook they’ve been using since ‘68. These are just this year’s examples.

I'm doing homework about polar explorers with my son, who has just described the revelation that Peter Freuchen (pictured, left) dug his way out of an ice cave with a chisel made out of his own frozen turd as "the best fact I have ever heard in my life."

What Sullivan "gets right" is, um ... which shoe goes on which foot?
“If Russia finally captures Ukraine by mass murder, torture, and nuclear threats, then everything the world has gained since the defeat of the Axis in 1945 and the end of the Cold War in 1991 will be in mortal peril.”

JUST IN: Richard “Bigo” Barnett found guilty on all counts for his role in storming the US Capitol.

DeSantis’s banning of AP African American Studies is disturbing and dangerous.
In my most watched whiteboard, I explain how censoring our history of its worst moments is a tool designed to obscure CURRENT attacks on a diverse democracy.

Astonishing nonsense about refusal to provide M1A1/A2 MBT's to Ukraine. The Egyptians have 1100. The Saudis have 450. The Moroccans have 380. Its a multi-fuel engine of enormous speed and reliability. Incredible lethality. An experienced UKR tank crew could fight in 30 days.

Germany's refusal to give tanks to Ukraine without a similar pledge from the U.S. has left Scholz isolated among allies—but so far aligned with public opinion at home

During the Trump presidency, the GOP poured millions into the DC hotel owned by a sitting president—claiming it was a choice of "convenience," not currying favor with Trump.
Now that it's a Waldorf Astoria, though, their spending is almost nonexistent.

Typical House Republican learning of George Santos's past:
"Bit of a grifter? Who isn't?"
"Resume padder? Who doesn't?"
"Fake college degrees? Who cares?"
"Sudden riches from dubious sources? Good for him!"
"Ex-drag performer? WHAAATTT? Corrupting the youth! Get rid of him!"
