My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Scott Bessent on the administration's affordability plan: "We'll see. He's the president of solutions, and I'm sure that we will have a solution to this."

Across the country, women’s domestic violence centers are closing their doors,not because the need has gone away, but because the funding has.
When a center closes,It’s a crisis hotline that stops ringing. A child who loses a trauma counselor. A woman who now has nowhere to turn.

I wrote this story too long and too slow so that you could feel the layers and layers of policies and forms and bureaucracy smothering these Women’s Domestic Violence Centers.
The funding is slowly being choked off and it is a tragedy.

ROSEN: Despite being removed as national security adviser, surprisingly, you've been on the WH payroll. You've said you'll root out waste at the UN. Can you confirm whether you've been receiving a salary?

WALTZ: I was kept on as an adviser transitioning a number of, uh, important activities

All of them are relentless gobbing pigs at the public trough. Just too many cool vacations and sporting events and expensive plastic surgery temptations to attend by private jet. I mean, that's what the Big Bill was for, right?

A key aspect of a concentration camp is that they detain people indefinitely who are not charged with a crime with no opportunity to challenge their detention. This is what immigration detention is.

Damn, I was told Peace President, but all they do and say is "War", "War", "War".

Community health centers in Tennessee's 7th district served 109,000 patients last year. Now they're losing millions in funding. These aren't handouts—they're the places where working people go when they can't afford a $200 doctor visit.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

“Far from beating back China, America under Trump may come to resemble it. . .jealously guarding its near periphery while remaining largely uninterested in leading the world; and building a cult of personality around its autocratic leader in an atmosphere of ethnonationalist triumphalism.”
