I’m a man of mystery and quite frankly I don’t appreciate how @thenewstribune.com is talking about how I manage the budget. The public trusts Daddy Stanks to spend hard earned public funds on what matters most - MY HAPPINESS

Half the lawyers at DOJ’s Civil Rights Division have reportedly quit as the office pivots to “defend the rights of Christians” and “fight antisemitism” (by which they mean prosecute student protesters).

Don't believe most politicians, but certainly don't believe the GOP when they say they don't want to gut social programs. This is exactly what their grand plan has been for 50 years.

The gaslighting is nonstop.
Johnson: "Do not believe the lies the Democrat Party has said. We had their ads taken down. They were running ads around the country in swing districts trying to convince people Republicans are going to 'gut Medicaid.' It's just simply not true & that's why their ads & billboards had to come down"

5/ Former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Ambassador Tom Nides, and others defended their unwavering support for Israel—even as they admitted enabling a campaign one U.S. aide described as “killing and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying.”

3/ A sweeping Israeli Channel 13 investigation has exposed the Biden administration’s complicity in Israel’s 19-month war on Gaza. Nine top Biden officials acknowledged avoiding real pressure on Israel—even as the death toll surpassed 30,000.

2/ “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period… We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.”

—Former Israeli ambassador Michael Herzog:

Every #homeless person should be regarded as a public policy failure and an indictment of #capitalism

How is it that in the richest country in the world, we can drive past #unhoused people and not think anything of it?

Reject #statusquo #bias! This is not how quote “things have to be”
“The very phrase ‘working homeless’ should be a contradiction, an impossibility in a nation that claims hard work leads to stability. And yet, their homelessness is not only pervasive but also persistently overlooked,” writes Brian Goldstone.

The working homeless are casualties of our prosperity.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”
