What to Know
Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.

How Hitler-ish of DeSantis.
Will he order his private jackbooted to capture us and deport us to say, California? Will he put us in concentration camps in Florida and Alabama?Someone tell me the difference between this threat and Hitler's threat to rid Germany of Jews in January 1939. Someone convince me this isn't really a threat of politicide... the murder of people for their political beliefs.

WASHINGTON — In his first address from the Oval Office, President Joe Biden on Friday night commended House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the bipartisan budget and debt ceiling agreement passed by Congress this week.
The 12-minute speech centered on how the bipartisan effort "averted economic crisis," with a prominent nod to Republican negotiators led by McCarthy, R-Calif.
"Our teams we were able to get along, get things done, were straightforward with one another, completely honest with one another, respectful with one another. Both sides operated in good faith. Both sides kept their word," Biden said of the bill that will cut spending and extend the debt ceiling for two years.
He also extended commendations to other congressional leaders in both parties, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"Passing this budget agreement was critical. The stakes could not have been higher," Biden said.
"No one got everything they wanted but the American people got what they needed. We averted an economic crisis and an economic collapse."
The Bipartisan Budget Agreement passed by a final vote of 63-36 in the Senate on Thursday night.
“Senators from both parties voted to protect the hard-earned economic progress we have made and prevent a first-ever default by the United States,” Biden said in a statement overnight.
Its companion bill in the Republican-led House, the Fiscal Responsibility Act, passed by a final vote of 314-117 on Wednesday.
