So JD Vance was given two high-profile tasks for the Trump administration -- boost Orban's chances at re-election in Hungary and help strike a settlement in Iran -- and he appears to have failed horribly at both.

I'm sure the NYT will be all over that.

Texas Tech System leader cancels academic programs “centered on” sexual orientation, gender identity Chancellor Brandon Creighton directed provosts to phase out the programs and ordered universities to recognize only “two human sexes.”

Texas Tech is expanding its prohibition on "gender and sexual orientation" topics to include faculty research and student theses and dissertations.

Our chancellor wants to censor the truth because he knows it topples the hateful ideology of MAGA.

Knowledge is power, so they plan to destroy it.

Liam’s parents said “they can see changes in their child’s behavior, such as hypervigilance and not wanting to be around people.”

His mom, Erika, said “her son still lives in fear when he sees law enforcement.”

“He sees police officers, and he says, 'It's ICE, Mommy,’” she said. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Hegseth forces out Army’s top general, two other senior officers Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest clash between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership, and comes during the war in Iran.

In addition to purging the Army Chief of Staff Randy George, Hegseth also fired Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains who happens to be Black. I can’t even begin to count how many Black officers he’s sacked. You can bet his replacement will be a white Christian nationalist.

I know television news producers will not listen to me on this point but... NOBODY GIVES A SHIT THAT TRUMP WENT TO ORAL ARGUMENTS. HE WAS IRRELEVANT. There was an actual court case that happened that DID NOT NEED TRUMP'S BLESSING TO HAPPEN.

Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.

if you’re trying to “save time” as a writer by using AI, i suggest you find another profession. it takes time to write well, time to write exciting books. it takes time to write one good poem. i’ve spent years on a single poem. the time spent learning one’s craft is everything

House Republicans are responsible for those long lines and unpaid employees.

Republicans care more about stripping people of the right to vote than you or your safety.

Republicans care more about locking up children and refugees than an effective government that works for everyday Americans.

So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.

Traders placed $580mn in oil bets ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post on Iran talks Thousands of Brent and WTI contracts changed hands 15 minutes before president’s message on Truth Social

Someone or someones made $580,000,000 in exquisitely well-timed oil trades that took place 15 minutes before Trump's dubiously optimistic post about the negotiations with Iran.

The Republican Party reaffirms its support for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Our Party was the first national party to endorse the E.R.A. in
1940. We continue to believe its ratification is essential to insure equal rights for all Americans. In our 1972 Platform, the Republican Party recognized the great contributions women have made to society as homemakers and mothers, as contributors to the community through volunteer work, and as members of the labor force in careers. The Platform stated then, and repeats now, that the Republican Party
"fully endorses the principle of equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities for women." The Equal Rights Amendment is the embodiment of this principle and therefore we support its swift ratification.

When health insurance costs $2,500 per month, families make tough choices A self-employed couple already had to dip into retirement savings for health costs. Now, they are skipping vacations and canceling streaming to afford health insurance.

"In 2025, we were paying $630 per month total to cover the two of us for the medical, and it was another $100 for the dental. Now, we're over $2,500. That number is about the cost of the average U.S. mortgage payment. We can't afford that."

If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Fund the workers actually protecting Americans every day & freeze ICE until we can bring justice & accountability.
