Tired of the status quo. Both sides’ leadership are awful and painfully detached from how we feel. I got several rambunctious cats. Huge proponent for mental health. Like huge. And I like sharing poetry about it.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?
TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized
BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you guys wanna start modeling this dude if you want this up and coming generation.
Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

Wanna realize why profit should have NEVER been part of healthcare. Here it is.
The reason universal works is it benefits the government having a healthy populace. But corporate shareholders need profit.So when we let profit speak first.Healing is no longer the priority.And we’re dumb for letting it

The U.S. healthcare system: where continuously treating an illness is a lucrative revenue stream and actually curing a patient is considered a threat to the financial bottom line.

I miss the days when politicians didn’t have merch. This is so stupid.
Melania Trump has supported the launch of a multi-thousand-dollar bag promoting “unity” and “giving back.”

The “Unity Bag” was designed by a Gucci heiress, who staunchly supports the first lady.

If you honestly felt people only deserved what they “earned”. Tell me how an inheritance factors into that. Because that’s how most of these guys started. Inheritance or a big time head start with rich family.

It's never OK for us to receive help from the government. But, one thing every billionaire has in common is politics and legislation in their favor in one form or another.

Here’s something. Newer things don’t end up costing less like that. You think auto manufacturers will see that and think lower pricing??? Or just take additional profit??? We need a maximum income way more than a minimum one it seems.

Destroying a federal document is a federal offense. Not like SCOTUS will enforce. But yeah. It doesn’t work that way. And frankly, you don’t want it to. Otherwise. Who would trust the government if the next admin can unwind the whole thing like it never happened?
