If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Reportedly the ballroom is being financed through private donation. The billions to Argentina, OTOH.....

Truly throwing out? Not even donating or giving to the kids whose parents can't afford books? It's ridiculous not to keep them in circulation somehow.

And yet when I suggest my GOP congressional twits reread Matthew 25 31-46 the whole "even as you do unto the least of these, you do unto me bit), they never do it! Why aren't they obeying the one they claim to be king?

there isn't even a text of it yet, so how can there be a cosponsor?

wileynann.bsky.social @wileynann.bsky.social · 8h

They *say* it's being paid for by private donations, but Trump also said it wouldn't disrupt the WH any, so who can believe any of it?

No text available yet though.

Satire has always been a mainstay in my family and that was NOT satire. That was a temper tantrum.

yeah, I had to google it too - and got a good laugh out of the definition!

Crap. GWB's appointments have mostly ruled against the extreme unconstitutional actions being tried now, but those damn Trump appointees stay mostly in his corner.

WHEN I TESTIFIED FOR THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, REP. CHIP ROY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT ME OR ACKNOWLEDGE MY HEALTH OR TESTIMONY FOR MILLIONS. IF A PICTURE SAYS 1K WORDS THIS SAYS 1M! WHAT A DISGRACE & SO IS JIM JORDAN!

Peter Morley, Patient Advocate Testifying for Elijah Cummings sharing Patient Stories before Congress on 7/10/19 before the House Oversight Committee. Rep. Chip Roy wouldn't acknowledge my presence and Rep. Jim Jordan made fun of me & cackled in the background, but it DID NOT stop me! NEVER FORGET!

Isn't the 9th circuit supposed to be a more reasonable one? How the hell can they justify this?

I didn't say he alone would do it, just that any 2th Amendment effort requires Vance, or whoever is VP, being a part of it.

Ooh, is that the site of "the Hole"? It looks filled in now! We used to live in the tip of the mitt and my specialists wer in Petoskey. Great turnout there!

I blocked them al, but none seem to have blocked me back yet. I must seem insignificant to them. LOL

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Vance would have to sign off on it and that doesn't look likely yet.

He thinks the Nobel Committee chooses winners based on petitions? He's even stupider than I thought. BTW, my father was nominated for years in chemistry and never won and we consider the honest, uncoerced nominations to truly be an honor.
