Psychologists should figure out how much wealth a person can have before they have thought patterns that are indistinguishable from the brain damage one gets after getting kicked in the head by a horse.
Whatever dollar amount that is, that's the most amount of money anyone should be able to have

I'm still waiting for some billionaire to figure out they could become a beloved folk hero just by taking a day or 3 and funding every single GoFundMe for rent relief and legal aid in Minnesota for a couple months.
$30 Million would go A LONG way, and they'd barely notice.

This rule just FAILED 214-217. Republican leaders delayed the vote by hours and held it open for an extended time — to no avail. Don Bacon, Kevin Kiley and Thomas Massie voted no, with all Democrats.
The "rule" on the floor today contains this section. Essentially Speaker Johnson is asking the House to vote to prohibit itself from voting on revoking Trump's tariffs through at least July. An extension of what Republicans have previously acceded to. Unclear it'll pass again.

These buildings do not have the infrastructure to hold this many people. They are not built for this. From plumbing to HVAC to electrical. This is going to be a humanitarian disaster. One must assume it's intentional. They have no plans for sewage, showers, clean water, or even basic food.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
