New Data shows at least 3,800 children, including infants, have been put in detention since Trump took office. Many were held for long stretches. “There is no other way to describe it; it’s a jail for children," one parent said.

Counterpoint: Without my "Charmin Wrapped" how would I have known that on August 3rd I used 192 feet of Charmin Ultra Strong in just one session, that might be an actual record, also, as an aside, there's a limit to how long you can let pizza sit unrefrigerated and it's apparently less than six days
please, I don't need a "2025 wrapped" on every product I use.
