It's fascinating to me how so called 'people against circumcision' are also against you ever mentioning it, ever, unless its specifically on the nearly nonexistant organic mentions or articles that go viral.
Bodily autonomy? Not topical enough. Genital cutting? Somehow, still not topical enough.

So far it has been revealed that the WH Faith Director advisor is pushing group sales of Melania tickets to her email lists, a GOP Rep seeking Trump’s endorsement is buying them in bulk and giving them to primary voters, and military commanders are pressuring troops to buy tickets.

The real thing Democrats lack is not a backbone, it's a drone army like the Republicans have.
And the trend goes both ways, by the way.
The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Remember when our federal government was run in such a way that the we learned about the health of the labor market in a predictable, regular way?
That was early 2025 and before.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
