Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Rep. Lauren Boebert insists that public Christian worship events are necessary for America to experience revival: "I don't think that Jesus ever called for any Christian to pray only silently or to keep their faith hidden only in the prayer closet."

There are reasons I muted this account

if you tell me that the people who say racism is a function of capitalism have a point i will be mean to you. this is not because i am not a nice person it is because you are being offensively stupid

Ready or not: The largest leap for special education students

I am full-on blocking anyone who regularly drags over Twitter content to this site. There's a reason I left that cesspool. I don't care if they're doing just to dunk on the tweets. Leave that garbage there.

Meta Glasses By Kylie. Everything about this is gross.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Van Jones actually makes a good point here. “Supporting Hamas is not progressive. ‘No police, no prisons, no borders’ is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE,” Jones insisted. www.mediaite.com/media/news/v...

Van Jones Tells Progressives: ‘Quit Pooping in the Kool-Aid Bowl And Telling Us That the Turds Are Ice Cubes’

Longtime CNN political commentator Van Jones has had enough of progressives shoving "crazy ideas" down Democrats' throats.

Y’all are out here being mean about the way this man looks, when obviously he hasn’t been able to see his own reflection in a mirror in several hundred years.

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson: "I saw a tweet yesterday from Olive Garden that in order to take advantage of their never-ending pasta pass, you have to show photo ID. I thought, that's weird, Olive Garden takes pasta pass security more seriously than Democrats take election security."

one sometimes wonders whether mullin was appointed because he is an idiot meathead thug or because he’s the only person who would take the job, though one question probably answers the other

I attended an 18-inning playoff game between the Mariners and Astros at T-Mobile Park while Seattle was engulfed in wildfire smoke, you East Coast pansies

That ASG broadcast was boring.

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

Hi I just turned on the All Star Game, what the fuck is happening

I hate this ASG broadcast so much. Interviewing players and managers during the game from the dugout wasn't enough. Now they have to mic up players while they're at bat? This is so ridiculous. Seriously, who is the audience for this?!?

I hate these headlines. There was no plan, just words. Why does media keep doing this? They showed no skepticism at all when he blurted out this demented thought.
