I dropped off Virginia Giuffre’s memoir for Speaker Johnson. If he actually reads it, maybe he’ll finally release the Epstein Files and stop covering for the powerful men who abused her.
Justice for Virginia and the hundreds of other victims is long overdue.

I want my area to build more housing but one thing that is genuinely frustrating is that new home construction is not tied to public school expansion, which leaves schools overcrowded, half the kids learning in portable classroom trailers, and any new construction requires a new property tax levy.
