I am one of those parents. The lack of transparency speaks to the lack of a plan in this slash and burn administration.

You can't kill a fetus but you can kill an adult for burning a car 🤔

Good question. I call a stalemate based on ego.

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force.

MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse.

The entire system is rigged for the wealthy. Keep it up Congresswoman!

Fantastic work! Another great thing for anyone leaving prison is they don't have to fear hiring discrimination based on their convictions since our president was elected knowing he was a convicted felon.

True Leader! Thank you for understanding how this works under Trump's administration. More need to make voices heard.

I will admit, I have been in favor of age limits in politics and you have challenged that notion for me, proving that politicians standing up for what you/we believe in matters.

I agree that's the intention. There are banned books sections at book stores now. Now they have my attention when in the past I may have never considered them.

How likely do you see Republicans ending IDEA and FAPE for disabled children?

My severely autistic daughter's best chance for her education is currently at an out of state residential school placement through our school corporation paid with state and federal funding.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

This made me wonder, does this mean the majority of Americans are now ok with private businesses hiring felons?

For the record, I think it's bs felons are discriminated against. Hell, the only difference between them and I is getting caught and white privilege. I wish more could admit to this.

Stay undecided on banning Al Green. He's the only Dem with a backbone that night.

Hats in Senate Chamber: Hats are strictly prohibited per decorum rules. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wearing one was a clear violation. Dems wasting time trying to ban Al Green should quit their jobs.

Trump's speech saw partisan reactions in the gallery, contrasting typical decorum rules requiring silence. Republicans stood & applauded, while Democrats protested quietly. Civilians mirrored these actions, diverging from usual respectful norms.
