Everyday this administration chooses to play in the face of the survivors and the American public with the Epstein Files release, breaking the law in the process.

Does this apply everywhere then? Probably excludes DC.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds a lower court block on Trump’s attempt to send the National Guard to Chicago, ruling the president unlawfully used an archaic statute to federalize hundreds of state troops.

To report 2.7% inflation for November, the Trump Admin excluded data on food, housing, electricity, clothing, medical care, and most other categories.
In fact, only 3 of more than 20 price categories were included in the calculations, making the report meaningless.
Actual inflation is much higher.

The DOJ won't release all of the Epstein Files (no surprise there). Who's going to finally hold this administration accountable and force them to release them all?

When the people can't afford to eat, and can't afford to distract themselves from not eating, things start to get really dicey, really fast.
This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

This implies that we get proper training in the office. Which...yeah.
Entirely remote work means less training and opportunity for advancement, especially for younger workers, new research suggests. Here's what economists say.
