As a Democrat, I endorse this idea. Release the files and burn every entitled asshole in them.

My heart breaks for what this young woman went through - as a woman, a survivor, a foster and adoptive parent, and as a human being. Imagine how different things might have been for her if the people meant to protect her hadn’t been compete and total shit. I wish I could serve on her jury.

Victims apologize, police, not so much. “The Polk County Sheriff's Office told PEOPLE in a statement that the lawsuit is a publicity stunt and that "our deputies did an extensive investigation and made deliberate and rational decisions based upon the information and evidence we had at the time."”

Please, PLEASE let Trump choose the next LSU football coach. If he’s as good at choosing coaches as he has been at filling his Cabinet, LSU will be in for a bumpy ride. The people of Louisiana may be able to overlook being starved, but best not mess with their football. apple.news/AoqyofYWjTSy...
LSU was the coaching carousel’s best job. Then Gov. Jeff Landry grabbed the mic — The Athletic

He didn’t “appear to suggest” anything. He outright bragged that he’s escalating his very own Cold War. Remind me… Does the Nobel committee award prizes for people who reignite Cold Wars?

A lot of us knew this back when he started hurtling false, racist accusations against Obama… Trump is who he’s always been.

ICE is refusing to release two children to their mother after detaining them with their father in Durango, CO. Police tried repeatedly to reunite the family but were denied.

"In moments like these, our duty is not only to uphold the law, but to preserve our humanity," said Police Chief Current.

Is 9/11 trauma really the best they can come up with here?! You just know Barbiemoron voted for Trump, and he CELEBRATED 9/11 because it (temporarily) made his building the tallest in New York, or so he claimed. Between this and Auntiegate, Cuomo’s sounding desperate…

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

Do you see this, Hoosiers? Todd Rokita is happy to sue doctors who help 10 year old rape victims, but he’s so busy licking Trump’s ass he won’t sue the USDA to ensure Hoosier children don’t go hungry…

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.
