- Up is down
- Wow do I hate this guy

- Sounds fantastic
- This is a solution and one lots of people are going to. It works. It’s also pedagogically terrible. Fundamentally ableist in structure. It assesses skills that are not the relevant skills for any meaningful intellectual activity. It represses skills that are meaningful. I don’t have an answer.
- In my department we’ve talked about adding an oral exam component to classes to just talk to students about what they’ve learned and ask about their assignments. This of course couldn’t work on huge classes but in smaller advanced ones it’s a possible way to weigh what a student learned
- Sorry to see the Canadiens going home in the first round
- the first "question" to Leavitt during the WH "new media" briefing: "I can attest to the deportations in Florida. My Uber drivers finally speak English again."
- How can people be so proud of speaking only one language
- I've heard execs/Wall St analysts take comfort in fact that consumer spending has held up even as consumer views of the economy are tanking. After all, revealed preferences matter! But I wonder how much of that disconnect could be explained by cases like this (from a reader):
- I’ve been trying to convince my husband to replace his wheezing old laptop but he seems oblivious
- Why was Kristi Noem carrying $3,000 in her purse?
- Bribes are generally paid in cash. Just saying

- Thanks for your reply - that’s quite helpful
- How can a memo overrule the Fourth Amendment

- It would be a shame if anyone were affected by the SAVE act. The Senate needs to stop it from becoming law

- Thanks - I was wondering since I hadn’t seen it.

- Do you recall where you read that? It’s awful that Schumer would say that
- I'd like to think Pope Francis came back from the brink of death solely to clown on JD Vance.
- JD Vance went to the Holy See you later

- Certainly
- Trump hates children - no other possible conclusion to be drawn from their budgets
- This comment from Gavin Newsom happens to be some of the dumbest political analysis I've ever seen by a politician, and is also a compelling display of cowardice and moral vacuousness. Not things you can build a successful 2028 presidential campaign on! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/should-dem...
- Wow that’s shockingly immoral and also oblivious to the vibe of democratic voters who I think are deeply upset about these abductions

- I guess I’m warned 😂😂
- WTH was that 😳 Sorry Branden
- A US military officer making an obvious statement of fact - that Denmark is a good ally - is now a fireable offence. Wrongthink will not be tolerated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- If you’ve read his book you already know the answer to this question is yes
- Late last night, 16 Democrats joined every Republican in voting to confirm Trump's nominee for Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

- Senator Slotkin is absolutely infuriating with her votes and her dumb bill about Chinese EVs. And Peters is MIA. Michigan deserves so much better
- [Not loaded yet]
- Why can’t any of these people read books?
- I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely *gotta* let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

- I used to joke that my 1995 Honda Civic hatchback could legally drink before I replaced it in 2018
- It’s like when Vance said we have to take Greenland because “we can’t just ignore the president’s desires.” Like wtf if trump decides he wants to drop a nuke on Pasadena we can’t ignore his desires? These people are all nuts
- When this is over, no forgiveness for those involved. There will be trials. There will be consequences. 😡😡😡
- When we next have a democratic president they must nominate an attorney general with a stiff spine. Never again a Merrick Garland

- Good grief

- Gas is more expensive now than it was the last day of Biden’s administration so what is this nonsense Lutnik is spewing
- there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm

- I’m so sorry 😞

- They won’t. They’re my senators too and have been huge disappointments
- [Not loaded yet]
- Deeply disappointed to see both of my democratic senators missing from this list
- These people are irredeemable. www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...
- Wow - didn’t think I could be shocked anymore but they proved me wrong. How black must your soul be to think that?
- Just over 75,000 are watching Senator Booker on YouTube right now. There should be more - go watch this historic feat
- This is not an exaggeration: illegally gutting this program will cause Americans to freeze to death in their homes.
- Just so billionaires can pay less in taxes. It’s depraved
- In Amsterdam this weekend so doing daylight savings for the second time this month 😵💫. Fun times
- Adam Kinzinger’s security clearance is revoked every weekend. Deeply bizarre stuff.

- Good point

- That too

- Because voters put them there. We can’t deny that it was the fecklessness and carelessness of voters that produced what we’re going through now
- RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many. But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.
- You can advocate for community health without bringing RFK in. He has zero expertise & shouldn’t be seen as a legitimate source of information about health
- Honest question for those not in the cult… what do you think it will take for them to finally admit that he’s ruining the country & put pressure on Repubs to turn their backs on him & finally hold him accountable?
- Missed social security checks for several months - can’t think of anything else
- i am going to keep coming back to this piece i think. trump is fighting a retribution campaign against the entire american people. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/o...

- The majority of the Supreme Court also hates America. They want us to live under a Christian monarchy where they can force their retrograde idea on us

- Why? What possible reason could there be for Elon musk to know about war plans?

- Well I hope all the folks who swung to trump get what they voted for
- Leavitt: "We are encouraging illegal immigrants to actively self-deport to maybe save themselves from being in one of these fun videos."
- This is sick
- [Not loaded yet]
- And past experience suggests that they won’t connect their distress to this administration’s policies and will instead fall back onto culture war fights and blaming the democrats
- The United States government stays OPEN. 🇺🇸
- Shameful capitulation to the people who are shredding the constitution - well done *slow clap*
- Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Thanks for the clarification- that’s what I hoped
- Are people clapping to support what that man was saying or because he was tossed out? Wasn’t clear to me. The arrogance of Edwards is breathtaking

- Thank you for sharing these!

- Slotkin hasn’t even set up a single phone number outside of her DC office. No number for Detroit. It’s shocking and unacceptable two months after she was sworn in
