So, yeah, some guy I've never seen before who is sitting at a table across from us in a coffee shop just took it upon himself to (incorrectly) correct my daughter's pronunciation of a word. 2025 is going to be fun.

I still remember the conversation I had with her when she was door-knocking for her 1st run to be Senator. I was so proud to have helped vote her in. She's been phenomenal

Some good news about the Biden Economy

Inflation is said to still be coming down to their 2% target

Wages are up 5%

Personal Income up 5.8%

Spending up 6%

All just reported on CNBC

Enjoy it now folks. Because a lot Americans have just fucked this all up come Jan 20th

Agreed. IF Biden's administration understands the dangers of retaining Elon's contracts, AND they do nothing because trump will just "undo" it, THAT is obeying in advance. Throw sand in the gears. Make trump do his own dirty work. REVOKE his clearance and his contracts.

Treats, please NOW Mom!

I would hate watch as Joe always bothered me
Life is less stressful without them.

It's so lovely not watching anymore.

Washington DC citizens pays more in Federal taxes than 20 red states, yet have no representation in Congress.

Of course he did 🙄

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

PENNSYLVANIA make phone calls every single day!!!!

I'm hanging in there. Caught another bug, but it only lasted 2 days (an accomplishment being immunocompromised). It's hard to believe the holidays are coming fast.
How are you & your son? Sending love ❤️

RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval (Gift Article) Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Not great.

We’re about to be disappointed by lots of people who we will soon find out are more interested in proximity to power rather than doing the right thing.

Hegseth backtracks on criticism of gays in the military Trump's pick for Defense secretary has called policies allowing gay and transgender troops into the military a “Marxist agenda.”

Pete Hegseth says he no longer believes what he wrote in his book that gays in the military have weakened military cohesion and effectiveness. When did Hegseth write that? Checks notes: 2024. Yes this year. Hegseth has ZERO credibility. Plus he's a rapist www.politico.com/live-updates...

TRUMP-VOTING SOUTH DAKOTA FARMER: “Half our workers are foreign-born… it’s an open secret farms are held up by undocumented workers… if they round them up within 2 days we won’t have food… we have to trust (Trump) won’t do what they say they will.” 🤔😕

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

Can Dem politicians resist preemptively sucking up? Finding middle ground is not the goal. Fighting for the people who sent you there is. You are obligated to listen to them regardless of where that lands you in relation to Trump. For a few weeks at least just STFU.

200 children have now died already from the flu because anti-vaxxers are not vaccinating their kids

For comparison, in the 2019-2020 entire flu season, 199 kids have died.

Get those vaccines people. We have them for a reason

Let's continue the cruelty

A yellow graphic features a meter with green, yellow, orange, and red. It points to yellow-orange, indicating moderate national wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The graphic reads: “THE SICK TIMES: This Week’s COVID-19 Trends Update. The U.S.’s winter COVID-19 surge is underway, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast. While infections are increasing, current disease levels remain much lower than typical for this time of year, indicating that we are likely to see a less intense surge than in the last couple of winters. Other viruses are also spreading right now, according to WWSCAN, including flu, RSV, and norovirus. Modeler J.P. Weiland predicted we may see “an abnormally good holiday season” for COVID-19 transmission. Still, it’s important to remember that even “lower” periods still mean many thousands of infections daily — and every infection can lead to severe symptoms, new disability, or worse baselines for people already living with Long COVID and other chronic diseases. Keep masking up!

Oregon nonprofits are critical to the state’s social service network — and going broke Leaders say they have had to lay off paid staff and move out of buildings.

Super interesting look today from @opb.bsky.social reporter Bryce Dole on the perilous state of nonprofit funding and what that means for the social safety net local governments have come to rely on.
