I'm convinced that a sign of getting old is how I keep buying new and fancy potato chip flavours, getting 1/3rd of the way through the bag and realizing I actually just want sour cream and onion.

Hey chat, what's it called when releasing your own words "sullies" your reputation?
Marimar Martinez's attorneys also take on claims that it would "sully" Border Patrol agent Charles Exum to release his text messages.
Martinez's attorneys call it "a fully deserved self-imposed sullying."

Stop saying they’re “coequal branches.”
No branch wields more power than Congress.
All it has to do is decide to use it.

Talked this week about why removing the fascist boot from your neck will help you find a much bigger audience and, also, your soul.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
