Hi, everyone,

I just got here and want to say my coffee partner and I are still choosing love ❤️

We NEED a permanent extension of ACA tax credits so we can BEGIN to legislate Medicare For ALL & not have people on the Marketplace constantly worried about their subsidies being REVOKED. BUT, Universal Healthcare, like Medicare For All IS the TRUE Answer!

Government when it works looks like this 👇👇👇

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 1d

Donald Trump and his GOP Congress' refusal to end their government shutdown is ripping food benefits from families in need across America.

California is filling the void — rushing tens of millions to food banks and directing the California National Guard to support their efforts.

CBS8: "Newsom deploys National Guard, CA Volunteers, fast-tracks $80M as shutdown halts food aid"

It’s also a shame we lost Natasha Marcus. Things could’ve taken a hard right turn. Good thing we got Dems at the top.

It’s the people’s house. Why don’t we have standing?

He denies it? Like as if the pictures are photoshopped? I don’t get it.

Why didn’t he remove it before he ran, or better yet, why didn’t he remove it the second he realized, “Hey, I have a Nazi tattoo on me”?

I guess that’s a roundabout way of seeing the good in it, but we did lose that district. Otoh, we’d be lost without Stein and Jackson.

Funny how when the courts told them to ungerrymander this mess, it was always too close to an election, but now that the Rs own the courts, they can gerrymander it more.

So sorry. May he have blessings of peace

If you are completely healthy, fine, you can work for your lousy expensive healthcare plan. If you can’t work, you are useless to the billionaire class, and you can die. That’s their concept of a plan.

Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.

No child should ever go hungry in this country. It’s an atrocity. I want our resources to go to feeding children.

Question: would police officers typically point guns at family members like this?

Would they typically bruise up children? Would they say they're gonna blow your head off to an unarmed mom in front of her kids?

ICE did that to this family.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to yours!

It’s complicated. But I’m glad for my Bluesky friends 💙

Aren’t most of the overseas military Republicans? Why do this?

Three young children fled from an ICE raid in Idaho and managed to reunite with their family.

It’s easier psychologically to place blame elsewhere than to face the guilt you feel over not being able to provide your family with a better life. /2

There are a lot of people who’ve already been in a good deal of economic pain for quite awhile. I live in the middle of a good number of them. Democrats offer them promises that they can’t believe—often with good enough cause—and F47 offers them an outlet for their frustration. /1

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

Just because that asshat never heard of it because he was too busy doing weird crap to dead animals and taking heroin doesn’t mean it didn’t exist. What a doubly stupid take.

Sorry we don’t have any toe bean pics for you. We’re having a snooze day instead.

I’m lying down on the couch. Draped across my lap is a sleeping shorthaired calico cat. In the background, you can make out my sleeping dog and my multicolored running shoe.
