Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.
Not one more penny.

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should not be practicing law, and they certainly should not be the most powerful prosecutors in the US.
After Bondi's performance yesterday, she should be impeached by a large majority and investigated for her role in this heinous coverup

Everything we've seen so far about the Epstein files from Trump and his stooges in the GOP screams conscience of guilt and massive cover-up. You don't block Congress, block an elected Rep. taking office, constantly delay, flood the zone with distractions, or overly redact if you're innocent.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

What bothers me most about the way people are discussing the Epstein files is that most seem to be treating the matters they address as things that occurred in the past, for which justice must be done, and not things continuing to happen, with children in urgent danger.

I can’t find the interview but I remember Catherine O’Hara saying something like, “life is dark. it’s hard to adult & be an adult. but if you can laugh in the face of the darkness it makes it bearable.”
there are few better feelings in this world than the laughs she gave us.

If you approach most of the problems you face with the mindset, "I'll figure it out, I always do," and if part of "figuring it out" includes finding good advice from people who understand your problem, you probably *will* figure it out.
Trust yourself to do the work, then do it, basically.
