Spoilers: They didn't....
I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.
BREAKING: Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said Donald Trump knew about the underage girls that Epstein was accused of victimizing, according to emails released by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives reut.rs/4hZV3nw

Absolutely disgusting. The way ICE behaves, and who they target is absolutely abhorrent.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I love sitting down and binge watching so many shows with my wife. But I've now turned into one of those "I'll wait for the whole series to drop," folks.

Thank God I'm one of those people who knows spoilers are a good thing.

As usual, Jonathan's viewpoint makes me absolutely interested in checking something out that I had almost zero intentions of checking out before I read his take...
I'll wrap up by saying that centrist black captain america who is all about performative "both sides matter" good guy-ness fighting a POTUS who is trying to do better but ultimately can't seems quaint in 2025. A real fairy tale. We'd be lucky to have real problems as small as a red hulk president.

My sister died young. Of pancreatic cancer.

What we wouldn't have done for a cure. This anti-science, anti-life bullshit coming out of the current US Government makes me so incredibly angry.

I am so mad on behalf of the people who will have to go through what she went through.
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.
