They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

Hoping to make at least part of it - we have to take our dog to the vet for a fairly urgent issue, and we can't get her there until Saturday. Kinda put a wrench in the works, but she's our last furry girl, and she's old, so she's priority.

Really hoping it works out to at least attend for a bit! 🤞🇺🇸

As bad as all the ICE abuse we know about is, what really makes me shudder is the abuse we're unaware of

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

I expect someday they will separate - only then will she realize just how stupid it was to back him.

Honestly I thought she might leave him after he was appointed to HHS, just to spare herself the embarrassment. But, she's clearly right in it with him - for now anyway!

This is true, even if the trauma you're healing is from years ago. Give yourself time, be patient and gentle with yourself, and don't beat yourself up if it takes longer than you'd like to recover.

When parents get rightfully upset about Turning Point USA bringing clubs into high schools across the country, it’s because the people that were caught in that young Republicans chat are the same people who will join a TP USA chapter in high school.
