Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend
The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting
Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

That’s right. That’s correct. Because I have an above-room-temperature IQ and understand that when forced to choose between MAGA and ANYONE ELSE, I should vote for the second option no matter how much I personally detest them.

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.
They were right there.
She could have arranged to get their contact information.
She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.
But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.
And that was a defining moment.

He had to self-censor out all the racist words. Would be hilarious if not so evil.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

“It’s just common sense. Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, to file government assistance,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters. “So why would voting be any different than that?”

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Bondi's words and performance today are far beneath the dignity of the office she holds. An utter disgrace! And a monumental embarrassment.
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.
