Vintage Hippie. Helped organize to end Vietnam War using mimeographs (look it up), paper road maps, and bags of change for phone booths (look it up). What we're doing now? Piece of cake by comparison. BTW courage IS contagious. Corruption need not be.

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes:
Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal.
Dispense favors on Trump's political allies.
Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents.
It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.

Russia has started selling off its gold reserves for the first time to pay for the war.
The Bank of Russia has, for the first time, started real sales of physical gold from its reserves as part of the Finance Ministry’s operations to fund the state budget.

🚨 40% off fire sale: US sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft have forced Russia to sell Urals crude oil from the Baltic and Black Sea terminals at a steep loss: $36.62/barrel.
Whopping $23.52/barrel discount from the international Brent benchmark.
Breakeven estimate: $40-44/barrel.

Like so many in the city's Black community, Sharon Owens holds deep family gratitude for the meaning of a "settlement house," writes Sean Kirst.

So when the Louvre jewels heist first hit the headlines, my reaction was, and where are the Epstein files? And what about Virginia Giuffre's memoir? Now that a Russian insider is implicated? Yeah, gimme more. And then there's the #BunkerBallroom. Most exclusive DC club. Resuming nuke tests?! WTAF!
Russian citizen and former French Legion soldier Pierre Malinowski is the suspected ring-leader of the Louvre Museum jewel heist in Paris.
He works with Putin spokesman's daughter Elizaveta Peskova at Kremlin's subversion project Russian-French Historical Foundation in Moscow.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
