Looking for something to watch this weekend? Britainy and I have something for y'all: RISING, Team Kentucky's documentary on the strength and resilience of Eastern Kentuckians as they undertake the most ambitious rebuilding effort in the nation following the historic 2022 floods.

Trump wants to put RFK Jr., the guy who said "autism destroys families" in charge of special education for K-12 students with disabilities—absolutely NOT.

So to recap: — Russia owns Trump — China owns Trump — Israel owns Trump — Iran owns Trump — Epstein files cite him 1M+ times that we know of — Inflation is 40% higher than when Trump came in office — Unemployment is 9% higher than when Trump came in office Problem is—Trump doesn't care. Why? 1/3

When Hitler fell, the purging of that mindset wasn’t de-Hitlerification, it was de-Nazification. When Saddam fell, it wasn’t de-Saddamification, it was de-Baathification. When Trump falls, it will be de-MAGAfication, not de-Trumpification. The entire movement’s hatred and corruption must be purged.

Re: Rollins saying no one has been kicked off SNAP: In this story, I spoke to Sarah, a single mom who works two jobs and lost benefits, then had them reduced for unclear reasons, & Krysten, who lost SNAP because her household technically made too much. She makes $13/hour as a home health aide.

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people
The Washington Post tweets: "Social Security’s trust fund is now due to run low on money beginning in 2032. 

The government acknowledged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tax cuts are expected to contribute to the insolvency." 

There is then a link to the story. 

Someone on Twitter replies: "Explain to me like I’m an idiot how deporting people contributes to my nest egg evaporating?"

The Epstein story never stopped mattering just because the news cycle moved on. The people involved didn’t disappear. The victims didn’t magically heal. The powerful just counted on everyone getting distracted.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

As one of those “crucifiers,” I would absolutely slam Trump for attending his own son’s wedding during this time. But I’m TOTALLY fine with his non-stop golfing excursions. (In other news, guessing Don Jr. had zero interest in his father being there.)
