Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Why would an Afgan refugee drive all the way across country to randomly murder two national guardsmen in DC?
Plenty of national guardsmen deployed a few hours drive in surrounding states.
Just like the kid who got killed after the shooting in PA. Or oft'ed Kirk( good riddance)

At least 4,900 Minnesotans are at risk of being pushed to the streets because of Trump’s cuts to housing - children, seniors, veterans.

We pray for the girls abused by Epstein, Maxwell - and their predator friends. We pray each predator, no matter how powerful, will experience justice. We pray this justice may bring some peace to the victims.
The greatness of any nation lies in its willingness to face the truth.

Three victims of sexual trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell have died from suicide or drug overdoses:
Virginia Giuffre (2025)
Carolyn Andriano (2023)
Leigh Skye Patrick (2017)
Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.
