Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

So, Karoline Leavitt - why was your POS boss at Epstein's house with Virginia Giuffre? And why didn't he warn her father about Epstein?

We have our limits as far as how much we can empathize and still look out for our own interests.
I've often felt that as soon as Trump is out of power and not hurting people any more, I could empathize with him as a sad, empty individual. But before then,he's just too dangerous, but that's my limit.

Empathy is a moral virtue. The fact that so many people (on the left, no less) are trying to tell Liam that it's morally good to not empathize with "them" makes me sad.
... I am entirely sure this is a bad thing. It makes me a less effective political agent, but much more importantly it makes me a worse person. I suspect I'm not alone in this.

Sad isn't it when truths are ignored because they interfere with your prejudices.
No undocumented person gets Medicaid, Medicare or ACA but they do pay taxes when employed. Those taxes feed the programs they can't access. How unfair is that?

Democrats have put forward a petition to force a House vote on a three-year extension of the health care savings millions of Americans rely on.
Many of my Republican colleagues have said they'd support a deal on health care once the government reopened.
Now's their chance.

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
