For the people who think this saves money somehow, it’s ALWAYS more cost effective to temporarily provide a person with the skills and support necessary for independence.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Hey, Melania doesn't deserve her name on the Kennedy Center, but showing her tits doesn't make it the reason she shouldn't have her name on the center.

Being a reprehensible person is the reason she shouldn't have her name on the Center.

In 2022, the necessary but not sufficient cause of MS was proven to my satisfaction: Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). In contrast to what RFK Jr. would have you believe, an EBV vaccine could possibly eliminate MS from the face of the earth. Vaccines don’t cause it.

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” should terrify anyone who cares about checks and balances. From court-defying powers to political control over regulatory agencies, this isn’t a tax bill—it’s a playbook for authoritarianism. We broke it down: https://bit.ly/3SlWNvk
