What white man hurt this woman? She’s been unhinged this season #bb28
Last night's episode was really hard to watch. So scripted and fake like Devens's smile. They really had him fake cry to boost his AFP chances too. First five minutes was all about him before they ever showed Taylor wtf. Also, why the fuck does Drew keep lying about his mom learning to speak English by watching Big Brother. #BB28

Good deal! The FCC just published step-by-step guides showing how to turn on blocking and filtering tools for your specific phone and wireless carrier. Simple, useful, and probably overdue. 👉 fcc.gov/blockit

These books will give you a better education than virtually any school curriculum in the West today. You can now go from kindergarten to PhD without reading one word of Homer, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Dante, or Milton... We set up this book club to fight back. If schools and universities won't teach the Great Books, we must form our own reading circles independently. Below are some of the key texts on our reading list. We are studying these carefully and intentionally, in dialogue with each other. The kind of reading that forms the mind and shapes the spirit. We are reading The Brothers Karamazov currently. Next week, we will vote on our next book. Join our reading group and study the greats with us. Take out a paid subscription to support us and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate.

Under the Trump administration, we've achieved 15 months of no border crossings, the largest drop in prescription drug prices in 60 years, the largest drop in violent crime in nearly a century, a massive increase in tax refunds, a decline in national median rents, and record investments in our country. A vote for Republicans to hold the House majority is a vote to continue that success. A vote to give Democrats power is a vote for two years of obstruction.

Scott Jennings says Republicans should be hammering the good economic news heading into the midterms — and he found a pretty good example. Government data reportedly showed prescription drug prices falling at their fastest rate in 60 years. Jennings said that is exactly the kind of number Republicans should be talking about when voters are still feeling the effects of high prices. Then Democrat Keith Boykin immediately tried to give the credit to Joe Biden... Jennings wasn’t about to let that slide. JENNINGS: “I think that focus on things that are going right is a great idea for a midterm.” “Case in point on Friday, numerous outlets reported that government data shows prescription drugs prices are falling faster than they have in 60 years.” BOYKIN: “Thanks in part to the Biden administration…” JENNINGS: “That’s the kind of thing that if you were running for office and you were in office and you were getting the credit and the blame for everything that’s happening, you would actually be talking about nonstop.” “That’s an example of where in a world that feels expensive, that’s actually coming down, that’s a good thing.” BOYKIN: “You can’t take credit for that. When Joe Biden…” JENNINGS: “Sure we can, I just did!” BOYKIN: “Yeah, you can, but you’d be lying because Joe Biden’s policies contributed to the…” JENNINGS: “Who’s the president? You blame him for everything, you can’t give him a little credit?!” That last line pretty much summed up Jennings’ argument. If Republicans are going to be blamed for everything voters don’t like about the economy, he says they should have no problem pointing to the numbers that are actually moving in the right direction.

Donald Trump isn't just slapping tape on a leaking pipe this time around. He's replumbing the entire house. That is what so many people are missing right now. It’s just like the movie The Money Pit: You buy a home thinking it’s going to be your dream house, but the second you step inside, everything starts falling apart. The plumbing is shot, the electrical is fried, and the place is a complete disaster. The renovation gets so frustrating, stressful, and chaotic that you’re ready to call it quits and walk away—right when the heavy work is actually getting finished. That’s exactly what Trump is trying to do here. Make LASTING change. Quick executive orders are just temporary patches on a broken system that get ripped off the moment a new administration steps in. Real, lasting change isn't pretty while it's happening. It requires tearing things down to the studs: rewiring the system, neutralizing global choke points, and shifting power and energy leverage directly back to North America. It feels messy and painful in real time, but you can't restore a broken foundation without tearing up the floorboards first. And when the dust finally settles, the entire structure will be built to last.

This season has the worst gamers I think I’ve ever seen, they’re all so lazy. FAP, (Drew, Barrett, Melody, Mallory) are in such a prime position that they could create a 7 w Taylor/Lala/Yash and a 7 with the icons…. Just play the middle, throw HOHs.,. But too lazy #bb28

You’re crazy if you think Dee is going to actually break a tie and piss off half the house in week 1. She will have Devens make a flip vote so she’s not in a bad spot. #bb28
As of now here are the current voting scenarios 👀 Yash vs Ashley: tie vote and Dee breaks the tie to evict Yash. Yash vs Taylor: Yash is evicted. Ashley vs Taylor: tie vote and Dee breaks the tie to evict Taylor. #bb28
