The Republican Political Party doesn't represent the working class, the middle class, the lower class, the intellectual class, the blue collar class, the farming class, the democracy class, they serve the wealthy and criminal class.

I accidentally found a place that has licorice ice cream.
We're going right after dinner.

George Santos filed fraudulent FEC reports, embezzled funds from donors, stole identities for theft, charged credit cards without authorization, fraudulently obtained unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress.

Santos is not a "rogue." Like you, Donald, he is a criminal who's getting off easy.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

There ain't no flying straight lines, Beach Crow tells me. Or walking.

Life ain't got grid coordinates. Yer follow yer beak. Or nose.

Wind sends yer off in sweet curves or curlywurlies. Hills to rise above. Or crawl up. Ooh and shinies distract-

She blinks. Where wos I going with this?

late sun beams
hollow log house
accepts the light
I have no choice
the immovable cries
sun rides a wild horse
I am stuck in dirt
Sunlight travels to opening of log house

He lies as he breathes. And he gets away with his lies because the media and his voters don’t hold him accountable for his lies. 👇

A family of four in Elk River could see their monthly premiums increase from $1,000 to $1,600. That’s an increase of $7,200 a year.

That means families have to choose between paying for groceries, housing, and other essentials—or losing their health care.
