In a groundbreaking social initiative, Albuquerque, New Mexico launched a program that pays homeless individuals to clean streets, parks, and public areas.
The idea was simple — offers work, dignity, and purpose instead of punishment or pity.
The results were remarkable: over 70% of participants have now secured permanent housing or full-time employment, transforming their lives and communities alike. The city’s “There’s a Better Way” program proves that compassion-driven policies can be more effective than traditional welfare systems.
"Ken Paxton is the embodiment of MAGA - and everything that's wrong with it."
From impeachment to corruption to adultery to pedophile protection to election denial, I deep-dive into Ken Paxton's record & why he is unfit to sit on a schoolboard let alone in the Senate.
Receipts:
@washingtonpost Remember when you’re casting your vote in the primaries and in November, the @GOP and @WhiteHouse are walking in lock-step. The GOP cannot distance themselves from Trump, they are all TRUMPers.
@washingtonpost So DHS has spent 8 times more than it did from 2016-2024 in the past six months.
And yet we know that at multiple detention centers, detainees are being served moldy or maggots-filled food, have limited access to showers, & are enduring backed up plumbing and too few toilets.
The Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $16.3 billion in contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024.
Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party. https://t.co/47WT3tNfSF
The Trump administration unveiled a new proposed rule that, if implemented, would forbid grant recipients from using federal funds to help Americans register to vote. https://t.co/wFvGb6UvwD
Republicans are hiding the Epstein files and Trump's cognitive decline.
He has taken four cognitive tests. How many tests does he have to take before the media starts asking questions about his obvious decline in health?
He is literally rotting underneath his makeup for goodness' sake. #DemsUnited
JUST IN: Trump administration argues courts lack grounds to halt White House ballroom project even if it was clearly illegal. DOJ attorney also contends no lawsuit could stop Trump from tearing down Statue of Liberty if he wanted to. w/@kyledcheney https://t.co/boxAzjGAEI
🔥 @AOC to @MacFarlaneNews: “People think these things are almost like a joke, but this is THEFT of OUR money. Your money is being stolen to pay for Trump’s vanity projects.”
Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change.
70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.
Farmers are leaving fields unplanted, cities are imposing restrictions, and wildfire season is here.
All that while Trump and Republicans not only pretend climate change isn’t real, their policies are making it worse.
