The Trump administration is systematically making it harder for people working in public service to access the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program with one weird exception
at some point, like so many things that go to the rotten, you just stop wanting it

The U.S. needs a revolution to harness the potential of GLP-1s for weight loss

The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.
The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia.
Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for:

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Democrats are terrified of primaries.
And that's a mistake.
Vibrant primaries produce better candidates, stronger campaigns, new technology, and a lot of highly engaged activists.
It's good for the party overall—both in 2026 and in 2028.
