An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE β€” not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

The BBB gives $45 Billion for expansion of immigration detention (up from $3.9 billion this year) to create a system of mass detention larger than the federal prison system. What is cut instead? $11 billion for Pell grants; $23 billion for nursing home staff; $40 billion for food stamp matching fund

Here's a tariff. Here's a deportation. Here's a Christian nationalist order. Here's the defunding of schools and libraries and museums and medical research. Here's higher prices on every good. Here's a cut to gut childcare. Here's soaring rents and stagnant wages.

Are we great yet?

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

It's definitely different than those OTHER apps that I am trying to purge myself of but I am enjoying trying to learn. I'm much more in your mother's age range so I guess you can teach us new tricks πŸ˜‰

Hi,Becka. I'm also a hospice nurse and just did a hospice nurse search to find you?! πŸ˜‚Possibly not the answer you're looking for. Immediate follow 😁

Start here
adorn yourself
in forgiveness
let the first steps of the journey
be kind
and gentle
let the flowers be for you
without guilt
let the breath you hold
be released
let the #velveteen chains
be broken
no matter how alluring they be
you were never meant
for captivity

Trump: TARIFFS!
Markets: πŸ“‰
Lutnick: Maybe not tariffs?
Markets: πŸ“ˆ

next day...

Trump: TARIFFS! And I mean it!!!
Markets: πŸ“‰
Lutnick: Eh... maybe not tariffs?
Markets: πŸ“ˆ

And so on ad infinitum.

They are manipulating the market. This is another con.

Trump pausing tariffs (again) leads me to believe that he's intentionally manipulating the markets, creating churn, so his inner circle can pump and dump stocks over and over again with each tariff announcement and pause. Yet another con.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
