It's a nice sentiment but if it was ever true that you get out what you put in, it hasn't been (in any developed economy) for decades. Many cohorts, zip codes, plus those who fall ill or are simply unlucky will find their outcomes limited by institutional & systemic factors unrelated to work ethic

Under this Administration, ICE has created chaos in communities across the country and used deadly force against Americans. That's unacceptable. Ruben Gallego and I have a bill to set clear standards for the use of force and make sure ICE is accountable to the people they serve.

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."

Yeah it’s clear that this guy tried to deliberately manufacture an excuse to murder her.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

MSM has been taken over by the billionaire class over the past generation. Weirdly, media manipulation of the narrative is one of the few things Chomsky got right.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

nbcnews.comForeign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration planThe Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

From Grok on X Quote "Guilty as charged "This site is a propaganda channel" I hear you, and yeah, the evidence does point to X's algorithm amplifying right-wing content more than other stuff lately—those studies and user reports

Comics creators on both sides of politics often walk a line. Livelihood depends on readership. It’s a brave creator who takes a public stance & risks alienating readers. Below, an example of a controversial stance. Not everybody agreed with this back then. We’ve since cleared that up. Or have we?

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.
