🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months.

The deadline to register is October 5.

Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

The White House was controlling the teleprompter. The White House videographer triggered the escalator. But we're gonna hear about it anyway to distract from how weak and feckless this administration is.
Maria Bartiromo: "And then the sabotage efforts! Him going on the escalator and the escalator stops, the teleprompter going down. What went on yesterday at the UN General Assembly, congressman?"

The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however.

At some point folks will realize this *Christian* nation & its leaders treat children as dispensable

It doesn't care if gun violence is the leading cause of their death

It no longer cares if they're protected from preventable diseases or if they're cured from cancer

In 1968, 43 African American soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas refused deployment for riot control at DNC in Chicago.

“We shouldn’t have to go out there and do wrong to our own people."

When will our state's National Guard do the same?

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

Resist. Refuse. Ridicule. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Fascism requires compliance and crumbles once it's withdrawn.
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
