This is what you need to know about SCOTUS' birthright decision.
Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell
Quote of the Day
“I’m not exactly sure where young people are getting their information, but wherever they’re getting it is the right place, because they are so well-informed. For years, I thought that weed and porn and SSRIs and benzodiazepines have totally disabled young people. But I don’t think that anymore. I employ a lot of them, and they’re the sharpest, hardest-working people. They give me a lot of hope. And boy, they don’t believe anything. And they’re very well-informed. So much better-informed than I was when I was twenty-seven. I thought the CIA was a force for good! I literally thought that!”
Carlson on young people’s media consumption during an interview with the Columbia Journal Review
