In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Love the days when I have client calls with my Europe clients in the morning and am done with appointments by 8am.

YES. I am so pissed at the Senate Dems who are caving. What fucking idiots.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Just me getting a little choked up leaving a message for @markwarner.bsky.social , commending him for standing strong and urging him to #holdtheline. 💪💪
Please call your Dem Senators today & tell them to #HoldTheLIne!! (202)224-3121. If your one or both of them are GOP, call them & tell them how angry you are about being willing to price the major portion of their constituents OUT of being able to afford healthcare

First homemade biscuits of the fall/winter season and I had forgotten how light and airy those first few bites are when they are still hot from the oven and dripping with honey.

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

I'm serving in two weeks and every person I tell asks why I wasn't able to get out of it since I'm self-employed and my income will suffer. I probably COULD get out of it but it's a civic duty as important as voting in my book. If we want the justice system to work, we have to work for it.
Never dodge jury duty unless you truly cannot serve. Get on the jury, it might be a trial where you can be a hero.
Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

Meanwhile in the US, citizens are looking at steep cost hikes as billionaires drop massive data centers in our communities and pass along the electricity costs to us, and trump obliterated solar programs that could help diminish those costs.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Feels great to wake in a state that will take efforts to protect its citizens instead of just going along with whatever bullshit comes out of Washington. States rights, you say? Watch us. Go Virginia!!! 💪🔥

And my health insurance just jumped from $580/mo to $790/mo. It's not as bad as some other people are seeing, but it's 2500 real dollars out of my pocket as a result of that man's idiocy. All while his billionaire buddies get even richer.
I thought Donald Trump promised to lower costs "on day one"?

Getting ready to phone bank for VA Dems @abigailspanberger.com and @senatorhashmi.bsky.social. Hoping to turn out the vote tomorrow so we sweep Gov, Lt and AG. If you live in VA and don't like what's happening in Washington, here's your chance to protect the Commonwealth.
