During a visit to Food for Lane County, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said food should not be used as a political weapon.
He said the injury goes beyond recipients and also impacts the places people normally shop and places that distribute food free of charge to people in need.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The economics of health care -- not to mention the politics, or the human reality -- are important, and complicated. We deserve a more careful and thoughtful policy response than "here's a check," or "we'll have a plan in two weeks."

A lot of people have helped Trump cover up his involvement with Epstein. They need to think very carefully about their choices going forward. It's one thing to cheer on his ballroom or root for DOGE. Running interference for pedophiles is something the history books won’t forget.
EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”

Update: the crowd has dispersed and one of the bros is getting a cop to walk him to his car because he doesn’t feel safe. Cop is being kinda too amiable and chatty for my liking but at least the nazis are leaving campus
When I was walking to class I saw a very small (3?4?) gaggle of fascist boyos assembling their shit-stirring gear (maga hats and balaclavas). On the way back from class those boots are surrounded by dozens of students whisking and chanting “no more Nazis”

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
