Trump’s and Republicans’ policies are flat-out starving Americans. Whatever you think of Democrats, this is something that could only happen under the GOP. Shameful.

Big wins for Pam Bondi’s brother, Brad
YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer Big wins for Pam Bondi’s brother, Brad

Ever since his sister became the Attorney General, business has been good for Brad Bondi, a white-collar defense lawyer. He has racked up an amazing set of wins for clients facing investigation and prosecution by Pam’s DOJ. But maybe it’s just a coincidence. youtube.com/shorts/9200i...

More often, it is the quiet, daily decision to question, to see clearly, and to remain human β€” even when the road is long.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger.
