I think the ICE agents work hard and deserve a nice little Kavanaugh Snack, as a treat
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

some interesting data about the files contained in the 300TB spotify leak.
electronic/dance music represents about 1/4 of all music on the platform. tracks marked as "clean" dominate over tracks marked as "explicit". and for length, the biggest cohort are tracks 10hr or longer (over 3 million trax)

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

About 50 of Planned Parenthood’s nearly 600 clinics have shut down this year, largely because of Republican moves to cut the organization off from government money. As the closures mount, a different kind of organization is seeking to fill the void: anti-abortion pregnancy centers.

If you take every penny every billionaire has, it wouldn’t pay for 1 yr of expenses
The annual interest on the national debt is about 1 trillion dollars.
The annual cost of healthcare is 4T after admin. Then get rid of the military budget.
4T a year in expenses.
Then what ?

President Trump claims the warship will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built." A month ago, the Navy scrapped plans to build a new, small warship, citing delays and cost overruns. n.pr/4pSg7zB

not everyday you get a business deal that's both corrupt AND completely emasculating for the son of a billionaire
Paramount Skydance revised its offer for Warner Bros. Discovery with a guarantee that Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison — the father of Paramount’s chairman and chief executive, David Ellison — would personally guarantee more than $40 billion in financing.
Larry Ellison to backstop Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. with $40B guarantee
Warner Bros. Discovery previously said the hostile takeover bid by Paramount Skydance, run by David Ellison, had insufficient funding.
