D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.
But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed.
D.C. statehood now.

Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

Ended up buying a boneless couch for our kid’s playroom and it is the most comfortable thing!
Why are boneless couches the same price or more than regular couches?! Wanted something comfy for the kids playroom and these prices are ridiculous for something that comes shrink wrapped in a box.

"If SCOTUS guts the Voting Rights Act, the prospect of Republicans stealing only 5 seats in Texas will feel quaint. While California must counteract what the GOP is doing in Texas, we don’t have enough seats to counteract what they could do if the VRA if gutted. It cement permanent GOP rule."
Supreme Court poised to permanently entrench Republican rule
The latest move by SCOTUS is a "five alarm fire"

This Peter Baker joint does catalog Trump's lies and censorship, but headline and text tie themselves in journo-cliched linguistic knots to avoid that direct judgment. He's not "underscoring a tendency." He's not an "echo" of an "authoritarian playbook." He is a dictator.

This Chiropractor was dropping off his precious child at preschool when ICE thugs broke his window with his toddler in the back seat & detained him in front of his kid.
No community is safe from the Pedo's thugs!
He just finished his Greencard interview & was waiting for finalization.
