Fake news, disinformation, misinformation, and outright lies in our collective daily information diet have created rampant demoralization, which is at the bedrock of dismantling #democracy.

Only the #truth will save us & our democracy.

Follow global legit #news sources to get your facts straight.

"I wish
it need not

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do
all who live to see such times. But
that is not for them to decide.

All we have to decide
is what to do with
the time that is

Why is raising #healthcare #obamacare #insurance rates by upto 75% in 2026, a controversial issue?

Is the GOP completely oblivious to the plight of the average #American already buried under rapidly rising prices of everything they need to survive?

Why inflict more pain & suffering on #Americans?

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 23d

Republicans would rather shut down the government than restore health care funding.

If Republicans want Democrats to help pass their government spending bill, they must bring health care back for millions of people in this country.

Graphic where Elizabeth Warren says:
If we’re going to pass a budget for the U.S. government — Then we need to save health care for millions of Americans. Period.

Graphic where Elizabeth Warren says: No one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor.And if the Republicans want to shut down government so that they can keep increasing costs and cutting health care, then they need to explain that – Not just to us, they need to explain it to the American people.

90% of HR professionals report that they don’t feel “adequately supported at work.”
And as Hebba Youssef, Chief People Officer at Workweek described at HR event, Beyond Borders, New York, “If your HR person isn’t engaged, how can any of your employees really be engaged?” #HR #engagement
