The mother & partner were not “infuriating”, by my read. They were trying, imperfectly, to easy this man’s emotional guilt. His empathy is crushing him and they’re trying to deflect it - he shouldn’t be absorbing all of this tragic young man’s burdens.

This grain could be an answer to drought-prone fields – if more Americans eat it

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

For years, Alaska officials prosecuted (& persecuted) a community of American Samoans in the city of Whittier, threatening them with years in prison for the crime of voting. You may have read about this when we covered it in Bolts earlier this year. HUGE NEWS: Alaska just dropped all charges.

Will Bunch asks an excellent question: what in the heck is Trump going to do with that nearly $1B in his political slush fund? And why is almost no one asking questions about it? And he calls for an investigation by Congress... appropriately so IMO. Recommended.
