Marco Rubio may be the most soulless human being I have ever covered in politics. I can only think of three more cynical and empty vessels: Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Louisiana Senator John Kennedy. Well... Kevin McCarthy is up there, too, but I think you get my point...

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

Just heard about Trump’s funding cuts to the YMCA. Absolutely unreal. Feels like a part of my childhood is gone now. Kids need safe places to go be a kid. So many seniors used it too. All this just to give trillions of new tax cuts to billionaires. Beyond stupid decision!
