Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social  , for sharing your story. Youβre rightβthere are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

The Trump regime is made of up some really depraved individuals. Only those who lack essential humanity and decency are willing and eager to work for a boss with similar qualities.

A picture of a playing card depicting 47 as a Joker
Can you imagine the uproar if Biden had claimed to end a war between Albania & Cambodia?
47 says something that stupid & no one even notices because of the multitude of even dumber things he says.
The tolerance for this idiocy must end! 
Show up. Speak out on 10/18.

We're in a full-blown constitutional crisis, with Article I completely inoperative & Article III not clearly operative. Whatever one wants to call our current political regime, it's neither a democracy nor a republic at this point.
