There are approximately 38,000 works of art in the Louvre at any given time.
That’s equal to the number of times Trump is referenced in the Epstein files…so far.

There is fewer than one open job (0.9) for every unemployed worker as of December.
That's a big turnaround from just four years ago, when there was a peak of two open jobs for every available worker, @neilirwin.bsky.social writes.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

In an administration full of bootlickers, Brendan Carr stands out with pitiful displays of fealty like his Trump lapel pin.
He’s the last person who should decide which shows are “bona fide” news — but he wants to do just that.

More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

The same pattern is playing out here. When Iranians protest, the state calls them a threat and answers with violence.
When Americans protest, the state does the same: militarized crackdowns, unaccountable forces, and executions in broad daylight disguised as “law and order.”

One woman said her father called in June to say he was going to be paroled after serving 20 years for car theft.
