Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
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.

I propose that, when the urbanists win and we rip out Storrow Drive to make more parkland on the banks of the Charles, we have a festival every Labor Day where we gather to ritually sacrifice a box truck on what was once Storrow.

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Ok, I don't know what needs to change, but I need my kid to stop getting Strep on Christmas. 2nd year in a row.
I would like them to stop getting Strep at all, but I'll go for just not for the holidays 😭

Don Davis (NC-01)
Laura Gillen (NY-04)

After nearly 20 years, Somerville’s abandoned Star Market finally comes down
The grocery store closed in 2008, leaving behind a boarded-up shell that became a magnet for graffiti and an empty parking lot.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
