My neighbor who loves work was laid off a few months ago and is visiting food shelves now after being cut off from food assistance while seeking a new job. He’s also taking in a boarder and doing odd jobs for pay. Feels very Depression era.

Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

“We assumed God loved most the piety of beggars, that we should properly cower before our elected murders, that we could sit tight behind our locked doors and try to pretend we were rich and happy children until time wore out.” Jim Harrison, “Modern Times” #sundaysentence

"There was something special about coming to self-consciousness in the mid-1960s…That’s why my millennial children listen to that 60-year-old music now, whereas, in 1964, only a precocious Mahler buff would have listened to the music of 1904." #SundaySentence www.newyorker.com/culture/song...

Brooke Taylor, a Fox News “National Correspondent,” was oh so proud of her scoop a few days ago. Appears to have been all bullshit. She hasn’t updated her feed.

Brooke Taylor @Brook... 7/15/26 BREAKING: 3 bags believed to contain meth were I found inside the van of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Mexican national killed in the ICE shooting in Houston, according to a federal search warrant affidavit. @FoxNews According to the search warrant, the three plastic bags contained a "white crystal-like substance in the middle of the dash between the driver and passenger side of the vehicle."

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

Harris County District Attorn... • X.com @Harris CountyDAO We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs. We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending. Harris County District Attorn... 9.1h O We have notified Salgado Araujo's family because we felt they had the right to know.
