My dad is living with Alzheimer’s right now. And the similarities between how he tried to cover it up early on and how Trump speaks are over the top.

Thank you!! Ohio’s public schools are critical to creating a strong foundation for the next generation.

How does the redistricting battle play out with another red state joining the fray?

Gotta love watching the evening news and trying to explain to my 7yo why POTUS dropped the f-bomb. Kiddo said it sounds like he needs to go to his room and chill out. I could not agree more.

What is the Democratic Party doing to adapt its connection and messaging going forward? We have a lot of centerist people in this country who feel like neither party understands their needs.

Republicans can’t meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says - NBC News

Now is the time to relentlessly speak up and push the facts. The mass media educated the public on the impact of tariffs on their daily life. Now let’s do Medicare/Medicaid cuts. Go!

March is crazy. Yesterday it was sunny and 60 degrees and today Trump is trying to abolish the Dept of Education.

No, 150-Year-Olds Aren’t Collecting Social Security Benefits Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

Always good to educate yourself.

This needs to be shared far and wide. The spend to fix all the missing birthdate information wasn’t justified. So they left it, fully understanding the meaning of the data.

This is terrifying.

Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about

At what point does the ICC have an ability to step in? These policies are targeting specific groups and the cuts WILL cause people to die. Or is it so widespread that it can’t be tied to targeting specific groups?

Idiocracy was a documentary

This is a very important thread ⬇️

I remember watching the J6 riots. Couldn’t work, couldn’t focus, just paralyzed watching an insurrection. Now here we are experiencing a coup and just sitting on Teams calls like nothing is happening. Absolutely surreal.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

THIS.

OMG I laughed out loud. And it is the best explanation I’ve heard so far.

That’s where my head is at, too. So I’m trying to understand if I’m missing something here. Does this unlock different legislative options? Fast track court cases? Anything other than a stern word?

Ok - but what will this resolution actually do? In real, practical terms? Genuine curiosity in what this accomplishes from a legislative perspective. Or is it mainly political?

What makes you say that baby? “Well the dock is broken and the houses need repairs. They need things.”

The empathy from this kid - makes me so proud. And this is why I travel with him. So he can see that people have different lives. We can’t take our life for granted.

Decided to take a cruise this week - our first as a family. Getting off the ship in Roatan today and my 6YO says “mom, these people don’t have an easy life, do they?”

Husband is traveling for work and 6YO wants nothing more to sleep in our room. Extra snuggles. I’ll take all I can get because before I know if the 6YO will be 16.

Anyone else struggling to get into the Christmas spirit? Normally this is my favorite time of year. But…Our elf hasn’t returned from the North Pole, I didn’t bother with train tickets for the North Pole Express. Maybe half the decorations have made it out.

This season just feels meh so far.

Love you both. Thank you for all you do!

What scares me most are the ones who are horrible and inappropriate but somewhat competent-ish. How much will they manage to get through?

Lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving with family where the only political discussion is what we need to do to prep for the next 4 years. 🦃
