Apparently I got the weird autism that can't spell.

All this doom and gloom, all this despair over how the nation is falling apart due to the current administration.
Can ANYONE give me a reason to believe that we're going to recover from this? Because I can't see a path to that at present.
Sincerely asking.

It is rare for me to feel that I'm well represented by the person I voted for. Often I vote for someone because I like some of their policies, but usually I'm not enthusiastic about them.
Sen. Ossoff is one of the few that I am proud to have voted for in my life. Keep up the good work!

Just Comer demonstrating why you should shut up and let someone answer a question before you respond or ask more questions.
All he managed to do was make himself look stupid, and make me wonder how Kentucky puts up with him.

oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

Mr. Castro's constituents should be extremely proud of him. Flatly stating the truth as he did, in the face of egregious prevarication is something you don't see often in Congress these days.
Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

Living in an environment in which you’re being gaslit or inundated by lies takes a lot of extra energy and can be very draining.
It’s okay to do what you need to do for self care.

The integrity of this nation went up in flames, on camera.
The President of the U.S. lied, flatly, to the face of the man who has been easily one of the best leaders this world has seen in the past 20 years.
And Republicans in Congress are supporting Trump and Vance on this.

I feel like this is all heading towards a culmination of events that no one is really prepared for.
If the "thinkers" are seeing this as Trump attempting to provoke so that he can use the Insurrection Act...that'd be fantastically stupid of his puppet masters.
Meanwhile, don't be late for work.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
