If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I bet Donald Pleasance had no idea he’d also get to be in Halloween 4 when he died in Halloween 2.

BREAKING: The Minas Tirith Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's contest between Aragorn son of Arathorn and the Dark Lord Sauron.

Over 90% of school-aged children in Arkansas attend public schools. Vouchers only help the wealthiest families subsidize the private education they already use. An astounding 95% of vouchers recipients never attended public schools. Vouchers are a $7k subsidy for the wealthy.

🚨Maj Gen (Ret) Paul Eaton is NOT holding back. He directly calls on Generals Jim Mattis and Mark Milley to stop whispering to Bob Woodward and speak out publicly.
Our nation is on the line, and it's time to tell the truth—Trump is a domestic enemy and a fascist to the core.

On my run this morning, I stopped to talk to a volunteer collecting signatures to put the LEARNS Act on the ballot. She was a long-retired teacher enduring 90° heat and humidity to help give Arkansans a say on public education. And she planned to work into the afternoon.
Stephen Burgin retweeted
#SayNoToLEARNS is trending because a citizens led, nonpartisan coalition has decided that enough is enough and that public education is worth the fight.
There is still time to sign.

The 75-hour community service requirement in AR LEARNS can be met by answering phones in the school office, raking leaves or unpaid work for small businesses, sponsor Brooks said. So. Extra paperwork to track stuff that already happens+unpaid child labor. Parents will love this?

Tonight, I fulfilled my constitutional duty to report on the state of the nation.

Because of the people of this nation –
The State of the Union is strong.
