In 2020, Trump campaigned on making Juneteenth a national holiday.

Just another example of the utter aimlessness of this administration.
Rhymes with it. Shameless seems more correct. "A husband to every wife, a wife to every man..."
 
Max Miller is lying. For one thing, he can't seem to make up his mind where he is.
Someone turned himself in for the road rage incident, so I guess Max Miller wasn't lying. Sort of shocking, really; I figured this to be Nancy Mace bullshit. I don't know -- turning oneself in isn't a measure of guilt, but it certainly helps Miller's story.

Several of the parties to the conflict have been accused of carrying out human rights abuses.…”
 

Social Security stops reporting call wait times and other metrics​

The changes are the latest sign of the agency’s struggle with website crashes, overloaded servers and long lines at field offices amid Trump cutbacks.


“… The agency removed a menu of live phone and claims data from its website earlier this month, according to Internet Archive records. It put up a new page this week that offers a far more limited view of the agency’s customer service performance.

The website also now urges customers to use an online portal for services rather than calling the main phone line or visiting a field office — two options that many disabled and elderly people with limited mobility or computer skills rely on for help. The agency had previously considered cutting phone services and then scrapped those plans amid an uproar.…”
