I love how they’re presenting this as something *they* did to, I don’t know, end woke stuff (argh, we hate equity blah)? But like, they didn’t do this…

Today, to fulfill President Trump’s memorandum directing the Department to promote transparency in higher education, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon directed NCES to collect universities'...

Following this money trail will make you dizzy. And nauseous.

The president posted talking points provided by one firm that donated millions, and his administration delayed a change that could have hurt the company and others like it.

Having worked at the KY Cabinet for Economic Development, I can tell you that the work of this project almost certainly began before Trump’s presidency. Different president, same governor. Thanks, @GovAndyBeshear!.
THIS IS HUGE! As a result of the OBBB, Apple is investing $2.5 billion in Kentucky! Thanks to this administration’s America First policies, the Commonwealth is enjoying a golden age of economic growth and opportunity!. Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump!.

I tell you, as someone who:.1) was devastated to miss the first day of the Vegas show, and .2 lost his mother at a young age earlier this year,. @kellyclarkson is quite literally the best. I dare you to disagree.
Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas. While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to

We’re so screwed.
RFK JR: After reviewing the science… HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses. That’s why BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts.

I’m so sorry they have to do their job of advice and consent.
Historically, the majority of Presidential nominees are confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent. But Democrats—for the first time in history—have not allowed a single nominee to be confirmed this way.

Clearly he’s watched too much porn rather than reading a book.
🚨 HUGE WIN!🚨. Today’s Supreme Court decision is a tremendous victory for everyone who holds American Principles dear. The Lefts assault on Christianity truly knows no bounds. And their attacks will continue. However, under my watch, they will be shown the door in Oklahoma.

I support him becoming Leader today.
SCOOP — @brianschatz locks up Senate Dem whip race. Schumer is endorsing the Hawaii Dem to be the party’s No. 2 Senate leader as Schatz secures commitments from a majority of the caucus. Schatz also becomes instant favorite to succeed Schumer as Dem leader.

Ted Cruz better watch out 👀.
🚨BREAKING: I will seek judicial orders declaring that runaway Democrats who fail to appear by the Speaker’s deadline have vacated their office. The people of Texas elected lawmakers, not jet-setting runaways looking for headlines. If you don’t show up to work, you get fired.

This is all just to get under the skin of gays.
🚨 BREAKING: I just sent a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney urging President Trump to commute the sentence of former Congressman @MrSantosNY. A 7-year prison sentence for campaign-related charges is excessive, especially when Members of Congress who’ve done far worse

But Texas is okay? Only republican gerrymandering is allowed?.
The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, 9 of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that state. How can this possibly be allowed?.

I hate this for the obvious reason, but also it’s a bastardization of baby bonds, which I fully support.
He said it!! He said Trump Accounts are a “backdoor to privatizing Social Security!” We’re supposed to claim that, you’re not supposed to admit it!

Too many smart people sharing this without reading the article and it’s making them look silly. We’ve all done it, but maybe not smear someone based on the headline on twitter without reading the article. It’s not helping the cause or your credibility.
And the party made sure to get their most prominent gay to say it so that all the others can start saying it without being called transphobic!!!
