Stefanik was screaming to remove him today. Maybe they will.

5 stick images of people. In the first 4, the person has a disability aid but the fifth one does not.

It's not. The 25th was created for a physically disabled -- like in a coma -- president. It was not meant to address any kind of mental or neurological disability. To invoke it, they would need a majority of the cabinet, and then he'd challenge it, and they'd need 2/3 of the House AND Senate.

Discovered that a car title loan on a 2021 Nissan Armada Platinum is a max of $2800 with a payoff of $3960 in 30 days or they take the car. 😳🤬

I need to be in DC on Monday or lose the job that has not paid me much since October.

The whole system is broken. It’s a death spiral once it starts..

Happy #Caturday cat friends. This is Frappe. His sister Latte lives in my bathroom and never leaves. They’re from a feral colony.

I am a federal contractor. I was told to stop work when the government shut down.

On October 23, Pegasus Residential said they weren’t renewing my lease. We must move by mid-December. Today, they sent a 3 Day Notice to Vacate.

Our ACA insurance is rising from $368/mo to $1496 in January.

Admin fee: $600
Pet fee: $1000
Security: $2800
First month: $1400

Almost $6K in the door. 😔Please share. Please help.

Updates on the pets, life and working for the feds in the Department of Education are on the fundraiser.

I’m so thankful for all of you.

Please share. We still need a lot of help. We’re still in need of housing and dental work.

I felt it when F.scott Fitzgerald said;
The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

I feel this deeply in my soul.

I’ve tried not to blame Pegasus Residential or McCann Realty Partners, or even the lady property manager here. But today, as I sit here sobbing, contemplating shelters for the pets and living in my car with my teenager?

I blame them all.

*The donated money was used to stave off the pending eviction (paid back rent but it didn’t cancel the “trial”), pay the electric almost current and secure a storage unit so we don’t lose everything. We’re basically at 0 with the new month, and they didn’t renew the lease that ends 12/15.

I replaced my phone in 2022 because the old one went into the pool and couldn’t be salvaged. I waited a month. I didn’t even want another. Then I couldn’t get into banking and other stuff without one. This one will be mine until it, quite literally, won’t work at all or won’t charge.

The top of the line iPad pros I bought in 2021 are still perfect.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max is still perfect.

Why would I be replacing these things?

Nothing like telling troops to pack up to go terrorize their fellow citizens for a vanity campaign for a demented old king…on Thanksgiving, which will be in effect through Christmas, at least.

Where? I’m remote and hate Florida. I miss being in the more north blue states. I’m originally from Philadelphia.

Tucker Carlson did a whole show last week debunking it. Even MAGA doesn’t believe it anymore.
