YETI FTW 🎙️ Love that mic, I use mine for my guitar lessons over google meet. 🎸

Open enrollment starts this week—and millions of Americans are finding out just how much their premiums have skyrocketed after Republicans let ACA tax credits expire.

Make no mistake: the GOP owns this crisis.

They had every opportunity to prevent this fallout and are still choosing not to.

Hark, the game is rous’d!⁠

I love this show, and I even learned Villain Era on guitar because the songs are so fun

None of this is a policy failure... it's just their policy

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

Anthony Scaramucci lasted longer than Trump's Middle East peace plan.

Republicans are lazy.

They gerrymander their way into power and never lift a finger again. Do you think they have ever put a petition together and worked hard enough to get something on the ballot and then knocked doors to get voters out so it will pass?
