You're "just not that into politics?"
Your boss is.
Your landlord is.
Your insurance company is.
And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage.
It's time to get into politics.

We’ve been waiting for nearly two years for the State Senate to take a vote on our bill. If they have additional proposals, we’re not the ones stopping them.
Btw our legislation includes balanced tax stabilization to help all residents AND additional tax relief for seniors & small businesses.

When 60% of clothing is fossil‑fuel fibers and 90% of dyes are petrochemical, industry‑sanctioned norms like Pantone's Color of the Year accelerate conformity and pollution.

Pantone Color of the Year Controversy: Why Industry Norms Limit Creative Independence

Ha! Natch.
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says
FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

If you're a legal immigrant with a court date, ICE is likely to pick you up after the hearing. If you don't go to the hearing, a judge can order ICE to pick you up.
