Fudali: This is what we call in the civil litigation world a document dump, where you hide things in plain sight by throwing out a massive volume of documents with zero context, no order, no rhyme or reason, and then force the people who actually want information to dig through it.

Remember this? James O'Keefe got Pam Bondi on video last May saying the FBI was processing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with little kids.” Then she told reporters “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”

This is the type of thread that only gets written if you're unaware that the VA healthcare system already exists. Or that it provides healthcare for millions of Americans. Or that it consistently generates higher patient satisfaction numbers and better clinical outcomes than the private sector.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Just an idea for those planning to donate canned goods at a local food pantry/program, can openers. While the larger ones are getting pricy you can still get the old military style P38(small) and P51(large) can openers in bulk for what you pay for 1 or 2 regular can openers.
