Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Obliterated the Bootstrap Myth

8 years ago
If you've been paying attention to politics lately, you've definitely heard the phrase "pull oneself up by one's bootstraps." The term is most often used to refer to the belief that any citizen in the United States, regardless of social or economic status, can get ahead in life on their own merit, without seeking help from others or the federal government. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who also happens to be the first Latina justice to serve on the highest court in the land, recently shared her own thoughts about the contentious talking point for many fiscal conservatives during a chat with the Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Program. "There's a continuing tension in America between the image of the person who pulls themselves up by the bootstraps and the person who believes that you need a lift to get up sometimes," Sotomayor said while speaking with Abigail Golden-Vazquez, the executive director of the program. "Those people who believe th..

This Old Trump Tweet Is Coming Back to Haunt Him — Because, Well, Just Read It

8 years ago
It's no secret that President Donald Trump isn't the best at keeping officials in his administration around for very long. Though it feels like he's been in the Oval Office for centuries, it's only been a little more than a year — and in that time more than 30 of his staff members have either resigned or been fired from their posts. Notable departures include Sean Spicer, former White House Press Secretary, James Comey, former FBI Director, and Steve Bannon, former White House Chief Stategist — just to jog your memory, since these departures seem to happen so often that they all blend together. Trump's most recent staff switch up came when he announced on March 13 that he had fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. As soon he shared the news — on Twitter, naturally — many were quick to call out his alarmingly high turnover rate, and some even resurrected an old tweet from the president in which he slammed Barack Obama for the amount of staff change-ups he made..

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially became one after tying the knot on Saturday, May 19. As expected, the royal family gathered at St. George's Chapel in England to witness the happy couple exchange vows at the altar. Meghan and Harry's close friends — including celebrity pals Priyanka Chopra, Serena Williams, George and Amal Clooney, and David and Victoria Beckham — were also in attendance along with Princess Diana's siblings, Charles Spencer, Lady Jane Fellowes, and Lady Sarah McCorquodale. 44858812 In addition to Lady Di's family representing for her at Harry's wedding, there were also reports that Harry had left an empty seat open for Diana as a sweet nod his late mom. Although in our hearts we still wish that were true, there's actually another reason why the seat was left reserved. According to People, the seat was kept empty for Queen Elizabeth so that she could have "a perfectly clear view of the proceedings from the second row." Neverthe..
