That "essential" label is such gaslighting bullshit. 🙄 if people are so "essential" to the operation of the country why would you not pay them what you know they're worth or at all.

Roughly 1.4 million federal workers are going without pay due to the government shutdown. About half of them are furloughed, while the other half has been deemed essential and is working without pay.
It's supposed to be payday for many federal workers. Instead, they're getting nothing

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.

Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,

BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

Trump’s megabill was signed two days ago and I’m already seeing TV ads celebrating it like it’s the damn Super Bowl.

Where’s the Democratic response? And if it exists, why isn’t it everywhere? A counter-ad should’ve dropped the second that pen hit the paper. They had months to prep. 🤦🏽‍♂️

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

To all with short memory concerns: Trump lobbied USA Congress to kill Biden's Immigration Bill that was endorsed by our USA Border Patrol so he could maintain a political talking / campaign point referencing dangerous immigrants. L.A. has now become his & Miller's T.V. theater to happily clap at.

April 14, 1993: Chicago Bulls fan Don Calhoun attends his first Bulls game in three years and throws in a 75-foot shot that wins him $1,000,000.

Per Sports Illustrated, Calhoun was selected to shoot because a Bulls employee felt his “suede hiking boots wouldn’t scuff the court."
