Trump Administration Live Updates: U.S. Begins Shutdown That Could Lead to Mass Layoffs and Service Cuts

The party responsible has skyrocketed the national debt, made life worse for average Americans, and protects pediphiles.

Stability of our government, which allows America to be great in any possible way, will collapse under the fascism ALREADY IN PLACE by the MAGAs.

I can’t help but laugh at my guesses today. I always start with the same word. But today my second guess is the word that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the correct word. I was just going in the completely wrong direction today!

While I admire the simplicity of the solution, to assume adults are, outside of 9-5, able to enjoy whatever creative pursuits they desire, is also fantasy. This is true especially for adults who are parents, who prepare food for themselves, &/or who have other family obligations. Reality is complex.
