In the U.S. - the richest country in the world - children are more likely than adults to live in poverty: in 2023, 15.3% of children were under the poverty threshold, while 9.7% of people ages 65 and over were. Sad that we don't take care of our own.

Beginning to think all of the above will not be enough. They are infiltrating everything and collecting all of the data. I do not feel safe in any way anymore - anywhere in U.S. How do we stop the spy machine and military/homeland security/law enforcement now focused on American citizens.

He’s much more than a bigot as is his entire family and anyone in his orbit or who voted for him.

Anthony Richardson has got to go. He’s hurt more than he plays. Enough is enough. You blew that one Ballard. You suck.

The man has been injured more that he has played football. Let him
Goooooooo! He sucks.

This has to be a joke. Our democracy is being destroyed and you think encouraging parents to teach their 4 year olds how to be gambling addicts is a headline. How in the hell would this be helpful to society?

The U.S. is the country of hate. So much hate. From every “side” all over everything. I don’t believe this country can ever be “united” again. This is horribly sad.

Good news:

The Ed Department says it's giving states the after-school funding it unlawfully froze.

That’s about $36m of the $165m in education funding they froze for NC.

We'll see them in court for the rest.

Trump is an evil, cruel troglodyte and a pitiful excuse for a human. And he’s on the Epstein list.

BTW, when Trump & his cronies reach the “pearly gates” & before they are turned away & headed south, they will each feel the pain they have inflicted in their life on earth for as long as it takes.

Sharing.

A twitter post from MLK Jr's daughter, Bernice. It's a picture of MLK, leaning back, staring unflinchingly. She has written, "Now, do the Epstein files."

Disappointing capitulation to the wannabe dictator NPR. He already defunded you. While you can, grow a spine. And if you want the $ you need to survive to come from the public, don’t normalize his behavior. Duh.

This game was a joke. Aja and Ionesco didn’t even try to score. We know the real story. Women are way too often their own worst enemies. The catfighting and jealousy in this league is just gross.

Totalitarianism wins with lack of education. Education is the enemy of communism, fascism, oligarchies and autocracies.
Better schooling. Empathetic people. Better world.

I am not a perfect person, but at least I can wake up every day knowing I didn't vote for concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance.

I can’t believe anyone would believe a word any of his cabinet said. Gullible is in the dictionary.
