The regime in the White House is making devastating cuts to the social safety to finance tax cuts for the super rich.
And the richest man in the world, who used his wealth to get this regime elected, is on track to be paid $274 million every day for the next 10 years.
Oligarchy.

The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally.
I interviewed Hermosillo.
He says the government is lying.

7 [personal] Rants about Editing

1. Editing is not proofreading (and vice versa). Editing and proofreading are two different, but related tasks, and have overlapping, but not identical, skill sets. Proofreading is the last task that should be completed before a piece of writing is typeset (or formatted), and its main focus is to catch typos and grammatical errors. A proofreader should not be checking to make sure that your character arc or plot make sense.
