Republicans lied [again]. DOGE wasted $21.7 BILLION in taxpayer dollars.
That would have been enough to:
🍎 Give 28.6M kids free school lunch
🏥 Expand Medicaid to 2.4M Americans
🥫 Keep nutrition assistance for 5.3M families

While everyone obsesses over mythical “Epstein client lists,” the documented evidence of Trump’s participation in exploiting young models has been hiding in plain sight for YEARS.

Jordan and the UAE carried out airdrops earlier after Israel finally allowed some aid into Gaza. But airdrops are far from a perfect solution. They’re dangerous for people on the ground and nowhere close to enough.
What’s actually needed is unrestricted aid delivered by land.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism.
Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
