Officially retired and tired of hearing people use my first name as a derogatory. Looking for sanity and civil discourse, though humor is appreciated, and it seems difficult to find elsewhere. Former single cat lady, his name was Oscar. I stand with 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦

Not great that people like Micah Beckwith are in positions of power but don’t understand how our constitution works, and are arrogant in their ignorance.
There’s a world of difference between not knowing how the Constitution works and knowingly not following the Constitution. I don’t for one minute believe they don’t know. I believe they are knowingly trying to change the interpretation of it to suit their narrative. Orwellian as it is.

Never heard a better description of Stephen Miller: You know you’re in trouble when your senior adviser makes Orwell look like a light beach read. Miller isn’t shaping policy; he’s auditioning for a reboot of The Purge.

Leadership Lost To Camera Obsession
A White House full of cabinet members who think every meeting is a camera test, every policy a scene, and every scandal an opportunity to win Trump’s golden Oscar.

Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.

Rubio making excuses after Trump told Ukraine they have until Thursday to decide or lose US support is so lame!
Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
He’s scrambling.

All Trump is guilty of with those obvious autopen signatures is hypocrisy. The far bigger problem with his pardons, particularly the recent one for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who personally enriched Trump's family while seeking clemency, is corruption. www.citationneeded.news/issue-95/

Nine rural hospitals in Tennessee's 7th district are at risk of closing because of Trump's budget bill. When your local ER shuts down, the nearest one could be an hour away. That's not putting America first—that's abandoning small towns.
