My cousin is getting married this week. I’m traveling to Italy tomorrow for it. I finally started doing my hair today. This was easily the most stressful game of Chicken I’ve ever played. But #Iwon #blackhaircare

Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption.

Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Republicans on Oversight held a hearing attacking NPR & PBS. Now Trump’s following up by slashing funding for local public media that keep families informed & kids learning. As Vice Ranker, I’m calling it what it is: an assault on truth & accountability.

Trump says he's ending federal funding for NPR and PBS. They say he can't

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS. They say he can't. PBS chief Paula Kerger calls it "blatantly unlawful".

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up.

The way this scene had me tearing up in the theater.

It spoke to a realization I had a few days ago about the way men in my family handled loss and pain. Im glad it was kept in. It was one of my favorites.

By the end of Greene's Tuesday town hall in Acworth, Ga., three people were arrested and two were hit with stun guns. Greene is one of many lawmakers confronted by angry constituents in recent weeks.

I had many requests to create my own emergency prep kit/go bag list, so I did. Keep in mind I work full-time, I'm one person, & I'm chronically ill. I can't spoon-feed info, but I can provide a high-level overview. Here is my google sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
