The mythology we still have about the Puritans being self-made adventurers who established their vision of religious freedom in a brave new wilderness largely exists because this is how they told their own story.

We should not accept this uncritically, but we have for centuries. #DisturbingThanksgivingHistory

Caitlin Jenner: “If I ran, and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her.”

“I was at the bottom of my class,” RFK Jr said during a podcast appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show. “I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still, and I could read and I could concentrate. I could listen to what people were saying.” — real quote

Joe Walsh slammed Elon Musk for publicly naming government employees he will target for elimination. Musk, once a public anti-doxxer, is now doxxing individual federal employees for the 'crime' of having federal jobs like millions of Americans.

Why is the only MSM that is telling the truth the Onion?

It's not even president again and I'm already exhausted. Widespread tariffs = inflation, not a reduction in fentanyl imports. FFS. This is so moronic. #politics #theidiotsaretakingover
