The Restore, Reinvest, and Renew (R3) Program invests in communities that have been harmed by the war on drugs.

Over the last 5 years, we’ve invested $280 million in grants to 400 grantees. 2025 was a year of building strong community ties!

TIL: Before Hans Asperger or Leo Kanner, a Jewish-Ukrainian psychiatrist named Grunya Sukhareva defined autism in 1925. Both men did not cite her work. She also had documented how it affected women and girls, where the men did not.

Gut bacteria in reptiles and amphibians have #cancer fighting properties and a specific one attacks tumor tissue while amping up the immune response, enlisting extra help from T cells, B cells, and neutrophils to shrink tumors, sometimes completely.

If people learned that spending money on small businesses or creators made the world a better place, we wouldn't be struggling as much today. Big companies make billions and have learned they can do the bare minimum, or even cheat you out of what you're paying for

If you're comfortable doing so and are out shopping today or tomorrow:

Look a retail worker in the eye and say "Thanks" if they do something extra for you.

I promise you, they will remember your kindness.

It might be what gets them through this week 🙏❤️

It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

Sometimes you can't see the damage

The fear, stress, afraid to sleep, recurring nightmares...

Some don't see an end to the symptoms

They escape their own way

If you are suffering

For those that haven't figured it out yet, especially the media.

Trump is comfortable summarily executing (murder) 104 civilians using our Navy-tear down part of OUR White House, killing our economy with his tariffs, killing our insurance, etc.

Why would he care about hiding the Epstein files?

For all the cynical people who are already giving up on having more elections?

If you keep with that attitude that's exactly what will happen.

If we KEEP FIGHTING then we will have elections.

It's as simple as that folks.

but I guess it's easier to just give up.

Well not me and mine thank you!

The darkest days of the American Revolution are worth remembering as we face another tyrannical threat to our liberty and freedom, this time from our own government. Will we surrender what our founding fathers established for us without a fight or will we stand up to preserve it against all odds?

My law firm is litigating 75 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is an extraordinary number that reflects the scope of the GOP's attacks on free and fair elections and serves as a warning of how hard the fight ahead will be.
