What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data.

Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling.

Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force."

Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

Insanity. My kid's preschool was 250$ a month. I live in a small city in WV.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

If you both respect the boundaries, it can work. Set hard boundaries. No pics that you wouldn't show a relative. No talking after 10 (whenever, y'all grown ass adults). No using terminology that would indicate a relationship ("ok, TTYL, love you!"). No alone time, in private. No dancing.

RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.

Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.

I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.

Getting to play kid's games and with kid toys is part of the joy of parenting. I loves that.

Otherwise, Life is an unending hell scape.
