Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Shifting the blame onto Admiral Bradley doesn’t change the facts. It’s a crime to kill the shipwrecked.

And Trump’s “tough on drugs” shtick is a joke. He pardoned the former Honduran president—the same guy his own administration prosecuted and who got 45 years.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”

On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

The American people, including a majority of her own party, support transparency and accountability.

But this week Susan Collins cast the deciding vote to block the Epstein files from being released.

I’m running against her for US Senate because the people of Maine deserve better.
Collins votes with Republicans to defeat Democrats’ effort to force release of Epstein files
The effort to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.

1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
