Wife, mother and grandmother worried about our future here. Trying to hear from like-minded people as I am a blue dot in a red sea. No DMs please.

Walmart and McDonaldโ€™s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trumpโ€™s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldnโ€™tย โ€˜interfereโ€™ with the existing White House structure.

Not sure why this image is so shocking, given everything heโ€™s done but: itโ€™s shocking!

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Political Violence in America Is Here โ€” And Itโ€™s Killing Our Democracy A deadly weekend shows how far weโ€™ve fallenโ€”and why we must stop excusing violence from โ€œour sideโ€ before itโ€™s too late.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed.
The suspect had a hit list.
And what did we do?
We blamed each other. We justified. We spun.

Political violence isnโ€™t comingโ€”itโ€™s here. And weโ€™re normalizing it.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.

But itโ€™s beyond evilโ€”beyond demonicโ€”to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

Sounds like Admiral Franchetti is infinitely more qualified to be Secretary of Defense than Hegseth.

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names.

You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop?

That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.

Cory Booker is 100% with us:

โ€œWhat other Americans are doing, theyโ€™re not waiting for us in Congress to lead. Theyโ€™ve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch upโ€”to try and do like theyโ€™re doing.โ€

He gets it, folks.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
