Best part of all the gerrymandering Republicans did for the midterms is it's actually why they are going to lose. Can you imagine thinking you'd actually pulled off swinging "minorities" towards you permanently because of a single election cycle while sending ICE to abuse anyone who looks like them?

The amount of waste in govt and education is staggering, but they'll cut the smallest things (that actually help people) while funding enormous expenses (that help no one).
Anyone who works in govt or schools can show you the $30m vanity project that the Guy In Charge said would Fix Everything.

Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of the liberal propaganda machine (a state university), academic departments get yearly budget cuts and staffing reductions but somehow there's always extra money for edtech scammers and real estate acquisition.

The funding imbalance in American politics is just astounding. Running a homeless shelter? Sorry, your last 50k grant just ran out and now your lights are off. Want to start a podcast for racists who eat paint? Here's $50 million, no strings, go have fun.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them.
You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board.
Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

JD Vance has been Catholic less time than my daughter, and he thinks he's in a position to lecture the Vicar of Christ about theology. This arrogant blowhard, whether or not he becomes President, will be nothing but a curious footnote in the margins of Pope Leo's legacy.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

if you made a CEO work as a dishwasher for one week they would go mad like a Lovecraft protagonist confronting an unnameable entity in the cellar
Any random billionaire or even merely millionaire executive controlling literally everything, would die in a gristly manner in about a week of living like a normal person with a normal job.

A political party that screams with fury at every perceived slight or inconvenience to their warped version of religion is suddenly silent when the government threatens the actual life of the head of the Church and tells the Church what it must believe and preach.
