It's truly a wild time that the same mutually assured destruction that stopped Clinton and other Dems from using this against him is now what's stopping him from releasing the list. Christine Pelosi is sincerely aligned with QMAGA in this moment.

Insightful.
Society should get rid of the knee-jerk notion that subsidies for the poor or free enterprise are evil. BOTH are essential.
Evil is when fascism disguises itself as either to gain control an riches, be it Putin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Chavez, Bukele or Trump.

We all need a mood boost!
OK. When I was a kid my aunt worked at Seattle animal control and they had rules about how long strays could stay before they had to be put down. So ones with kittens would get their papers pulled and they'd live at my house until they could be adopted.

There is a Paul von Hindenburg uniparty in Washington that justifies itself under the veneer of pragmatic moderation.
These are not true centrists. They're traitors.
In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Trying to improve my shopping habits when I can't up the spending.
I looked up some parent companies, then I searched OpenSecrets. A few of these are disappointing. But Rosauers, a regional store I've always loved, is completely clean!
