Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Just look at us. This is completely enraging.

Plus all the ones they kidnapped.

Russia needs to be quarantined until they're ready to join the human race again.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.”

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

Graduating from the U.S. Army comes with a unique tradition: you can't leave your post until a family member touches you. What does this mean for service members?
