While Marjorie Taylor Greene spews hate, calling Pope Francis “evil”—El Paso shows the world what true strength & character looks like. A grieving sister hugged the man who murdered her brother. My hometown, torn by violence, chose love instead of vengeance.
Hope you’ll take a moment to read this.

El Paso Was Torn by Hate. It Still Chose Love.

Trump cut $360 million from NY health programs, addiction and mental health support. Now, New York has proposed legislation allowing the state to retain billions it owes the federal government to address these funding gaps.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:
Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba
They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
