oh.
Remember the horrible story in the Epstein files about the limo driver who met a survivor of Trump and Epstein who was afraid for her life if she reported it and was then found shot to death?

The Oklahoman may have uncovered evidence of her death this week.

Catholics represent fewer than 20% of U.S. adults, however, they make up 61% of the population at risk of deportation. Trump’s immigration crackdown is disproportionately hitting Catholic communities.

My mom struggled to shut her mother out until her mother caused my mom to have a mental breakdown. These aren’t decisions made lightly and the idea that as adults we cannot make decisions we need to for our own survival is ridiculous.
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

#ItsAWonderfulLife George Bailey and his father Peter talking about Potter. Peter says Potter hates everyone who has what he doesn't. Specifically, morals, class, and character. He would say the same about Donald Trump.

We've reached the 2+2=4 part.
“He raped me.”

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

my heart is with everyone going through it because there is nothing like the holiday season putting a spotlight on what you lack. grief, complicated family relationships, and the capitalism of it all feel like they just crash into one another.

I would like to see the major medical centers to file comments pushing back hard on this rule, which has implications for clinical judgment far beyond this context. I'd especially like to see it from the ones (like that affiliated with my university) who have bowed to Trump threats by ceasing GAC.
By doing so here, the Trump Administration runs smack into the prohibition on Medicare and Medicaid regulating the practice of medicine (as opposed to deciding what they'll pay for). Congress recognized regulating the practice of medicine is a state function, not one for Medicare/Medicaid.

whenever you make stigmatizing comments about addiction, just remember that trump and his team won’t see them, but some of these 50 million americans and their families will, and it hurts them
“Some 50 million Americans struggle with drug & alcohol addiction. It can require multiple stints in rehab before people truly begin the recovery process, according to experts. Others may never reach that point — drug overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans between 18 and 45 years old.”
