Desantis can think what he thinks.
In my eyes, Mitt Romney will ALWAYS be a profile in courage, honor, and decency.
A lonely voice, standing firm against the insanity and depravity of the Trump era.
My man 🤜🤛
Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

In the summer Payton Pritchard pays for division 2/3 basketball players to travel to Cape Cod to defend him 1-on-1 in a high school gym with no air conditioning where it reaches up to 120 degrees inside, per @espn
If he shoots under 60% for a day they all “eat like kings” at Chipotle on Pritchard
When asked a why he’s a menace with his workouts
“I can’t wake up and be Wemby”

Most selfish American generation of all time - entirely forgot that some 72 year old 40 years ago was contributing property tax so their own kids could go to a good public school/have a fire department/police/etc. Now, 40 years later, they can't fathom contributing to the same.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

A Curva da Felicidade.
O economista David G. Blanchflower analisou dados de 132 países para investigar a relação entre idade e bem-estar subjetivo. O trabalho reuniu 109 conjuntos de dados e encontrou evidências de uma curva em U em todos os países analisados.
A curva sugere que:
- Na juventude: o bem-estar tende a ser relativamente elevado.
- Na meia-idade: a satisfação com a vida diminui, em média.
- A partir de aproximadamente 47 a 48 anos: o bem-estar tende a se recuperar, segundo as estimativas médias do estudo.

The wizardry of sending them a statement every year with how much they paid in is undefeated.
I noticed those statements stopped coming because the government just stopped pretending for Millennials.
I won’t be taking any money from “young working Americans”. I’ll be withdrawing from my 36+ years worth of deposits. Just give everyone back their SS contributions plus interest and everyone can fend for themselves going forward.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Social Security is a pay-as-you-go social program, not an investment with any guarantee of return. Under U.S. law (Flemming v. Nestor) workers have no contractual right nor property right to FICA taxes paid. Congress can alter benefits and eligibility at any time.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the undergraduate student assembly at Cornell opened up their regular meeting tonight for the community to speak—and the ONLY administrator in attendance was the athletics director.

I haven't known what to say about this horror, but this statement will stand in for now.
What women are forced to put up with in this world is unspeakable. And if you don't recognize that, then you are part of the problem.

The nor’easter lashing Nantucket with wind and rain this weekend has uncovered the remains of a shipwreck along the island’s south shore.
The fragment is likely from the 19th century schooner Warren Sawyer, a wooden ship that wrecked near Miacomet Beach on December 22, 1884.

7 frat boys at Cornell drugged a young student and raped her.
They sent text messages to other men that she was “free” and they could come join in.
Their punishment?
Writing essays to Cornell.
Arrest & prosecute every one of them and fire whoever doled out the “discipline”
🚨 Cornell frat bros allegedly gang-r*ped drugged student, messaged "free p***y."
