Oregon has a novel program that helps people get jobs after prison.

It begins up to 6 mo before release with 1-on-1 career coaching. It steers people to jobs & even helps pay for licenses.

But budget cuts are threatening the program’s funding. boltsmag.org/oregon-priso...

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

Raping children is wrong.

We have to say it because the entire #GOP is pretending it’s not true so they can worship their child rapist god.

May there be a hell so they have to burn in it.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.

To counter Trump’s fake populism and his culture wars, progressives should mount a real battle against economic elites who have shafted America’s middle and working classes.

BREAKING: The DOJ is engaging in a cover up. Most of the files are heavily redacted, with very few fully released.

There are disturbing images of Epstein with victims. There are images of Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, and others. Donald Trump is not in any of the ones I've reviewed.

They don't give a damn about "protecting the victims", they only care about protecting their most favored perps – most notably, Donald Trump.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner on why he was alarmed by Trump's speech: "It was delivered with a manic cadence -- almost a frantic cadence ... it was disturbing to watch. It was disturbing because he's the commander in chief."

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Really remarkable number in here: 62% of independents favor path to legalization over deportations. Trump and Stephen Miller are actively, relentlessly pushing the country in a pro-immigrant direction.

Maybe those who argued against attacking Trump on this due to "salience" fears got this wrong?
New Quinnipiac poll:

57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them

Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55)
