How you genuinely treat others says more about your character than anything else you might otherwise say or do.

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

The kind of people who need somebody else to tell them that Trump wasn't sent by God are not very likely to listen. 🫠

"A U.S. diplomat who was in the embassy when McGurk arrived found his steady advance astonishing. “Brett only meets people who speak English. … There are like four people in the government who speak English. And somehow he’s now the person who should decide the fate of Iraq? How did this happen?”"

I get what you mean, but it's so telling that they want to name it that... while running on a platform of "no more wars" and "america first" ...🤦

If you missed the context like I did ;)

Harris has stated, "My mother raised me to see what could be, unburdened by what has been," highlighting a mindset of looking forward rather than dwelling on the past.

‘It’s like the Day of Judgment out here.’ New England residents trapped in Middle East as war escalates. - The Boston Globe “There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

U.S. citizens are trapped in the Middle East with no clear information and no way out.

Donald Trump's response? “It happened all very quickly.”

This is a complete failure.

I'm pressing the Trump administration for a plan to evacuate Americans now.
