$123 million held back from Virginia. I live in a community where 70% of the children at our Elementary School fall below the poverty line. Free school breakfast and lunch are integral to keeping these kids healthy and ALIVE. Cruelty is the point.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

There we go. From the New York Times: “But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.”
Mr. Bukele, in a social media post, even crowed that "Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture," was "now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!" But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.

First the rumour was a 20% budget cut. Then, 50%. Now the president's NASA budget is out and it's a 68% cut to astrophysics ($1.5B to $487M). Even if this gets reversed in four years, we will *never* recover the missions, partners, people who will be gone. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...
