    Congress Has One Last Chance to Prove It Isn’t Still the Same Cowardly Institution That Betrayed Us in the 80s I grew up in the eighties when adults pretended child abuse was a misunderstanding or a family matter or something kids “misinterpreted.” It was the decade where schools covered it churches hid it police departments

      The Trump administration has unveiled a dramatic shift in national homelessness policy: major cuts to long-term housing in favor of transitional programs tied to work requirements, addiction treatment and behavioral accountability. To the casual observer — and frankly, to many of us exhausted by decades of failure — it sounds like the first rational
