Why was a convicted felon allowed to vote in Florida elections when desantis made such a big deal about arresting felons who voted in past elections?

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

I need a moment to sit with this. 😅

Sean Duffy should resign.

Just when you think they can't get worse.

I mentioned earlier that only about 25% of Full Professors in STEM were women when I retired in 2024. But only 2% of Full Professors in any discipline were Black women. And The Regime can’t even tolerate *that*.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

I hate how stupid everything is.

Republicans say one of these individuals is the "most divisive president in history"

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

Remember all the times I said never to celebrate the death of another human being, because it just makes you look like a terrible, shitty person? Don't be this guy.

Remember this when certain state funerals are planned in the future and people get their knickers tied in a bunch because people aren’t sufficiently grieving, and call for them to lose jobs and such.

This was so predictable. What a nasty, awful, indecent man with no redeemable qualities.

RIP Robert Mueller, he was preceded in death by the Rule of Law.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

I’m not saying Trump is a Russian asset. I don’t have proof of that. I am saying Trump is doing everything a Russian asset in the White House would do. The only difference is whether he’s getting paid by Putin for it.

Replacing the turbines on existing wind farms with newer, more powerful and efficient models could double the amount of electricity produced by onshore wind energy in the United States – without increasing its footprint www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/03/amer...

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

This is really horrifying and demands an immediate investigation by DOJ….oh….and by the Senate Homeland Security Committee….oh…..

Rep. Smith is not usually prone to this kind of talk, which tells you about the intensity behind this.

Eid Mubarak, Illinois. As we mark Eid al-Fitr, may today be filled with family, friends, and blessings after a long month of reflection.

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Appalling.

We’re told there’s no money for universal healthcare or to end hunger in this country. But somehow $200 billion more for war will likely move through Congress without question.  Not another penny for another endless war.

Amen

He owns a ranch, guys.

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule: ✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy ✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles ✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles) ✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China) The cynics said it couldn't be done.

Your daily reminder: there is no industry on Earth that is set to benefit from the bloodshed in the middle east more than oil and gas companies Think about that next time you're taking them at their word, or seeking insights from them about this moment we're in.

Europe's LNG imports have gone from 3% of gas supply in 1990 to nearly 50% today. We replaced Russian pipeline gas with US LNG at record speed. But we replaced one dependency with another. That's why Europe remains so exposed. The answer is transforming demand - not switching suppliers.
