Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Horrifying that 2 Israeli embassy officials were just fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Sending prayers & solidarity to the victims’ families, the wounded & everyone shaken by this appalling lethal violence.

Projection is so powerful with these clowns - we get it - you have no real friends! Leave us out of it

What could possibly go wrong 😑 🦠

Nearly 1,000 attend Billings town hall, raising concerns while Congressional leaders a no-show • Daily Montanan As many as 1,000 residents rallied for democracy at a Billings meeting which all members of the Congressional delegation were invited, but none attended.

Damn. Now Billing Montana has an entry in the 'empty chair' sweepstakes where Daines, Sheehy and Downing were the no shows. Almost 1,000 attendees dailymontanan.com/2025/03/22/n...

So many people forget what a horror it was before pre-existing made it so you couldn't get any health care. ever again. in your whole life.

And believe me, they looked for ANY pre-existing condition, no matter how small. High blood pressure was plenty.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

@barackobama.bsky.social PreACA, my parents had to drop my coverage because I went to college part-time instead of full-time. We couldn’t afford FT tuition. I was denied health insurance at 3 different jobs because I have an inherited bleeding disorder. I went without ins until I got married.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

The Smackover formation in southern Arkansas is estimated to hold between 5.1-19 million tons of lithium and extraction methods are being tested right now. We’ve got our own lithium.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Deleted IG today. I’ve gotta let go of fb and it’s been hard.

Specifically concerning as a woman with a bleeding disorder because we are just now getting studies specific to women and girls who bleed. And because VGA039 was just fast tracked before he put a stop to research funding. Ugh.

The “we assign sex at conception & there’s only two” thing is so absurd for anyone who understands science.

1 Sexual differentiation doesn’t happen until ~ 6 wks post conception
2 XX & XY are not the only options
3 XY individuals can have female physical characteristics (androgen insensitivity)

It feels a little weird moving to a “new” social app, but the vibes here are good so far.

For the first time in more than a month, no one in our house is sick on a weekend AND it’s not raining.

My delegates are Mike Johnson, Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy. They don’t care about us. They don’t want to engage with us.

just saw an instagram influencer hawking a detox program tell people to not eat eggs because.... scientists use eggs to study pathogens that *they inject into the eggs in a laboratory setting* and so therefore, apparently eggs make you sick
