“One Big Beautiful Bill”?
Try one big, bold-faced lie.

They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise.

$2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what?
Tax cuts for the rich.

We should feed people, help them see a doctor when they’re ill, and support our veterans wholeheartedly as a thank you for their service. Nobody is living large on government assistance - that’s a lie Republicans tell to justify cutting help to prop up the rich. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

You should get some new fancy journals to go with those new pens. I think it’s a rule or something.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

My group chat can’t even pick a date for dinner. Clearly I’m in the wrong type of chat.

I was a Congressional aide many years ago and I still look back on my ability to fix problems for citizens as some of the best work I have ever done. Nothing else has ever come close.

It’s pretty easy to plan not to spend money for just one day. Friday, February 28.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Art in its purist, highest form.

Happily, in my case.

Does she have an Amazon wishlist? Poor thing has absolutely nothing to play with. 😂

Grants fund salaries which pay bills. Federal block grants pay for infrastructure improvements like repaired bridges and paved roads. Absolute disaster. Call your elected officials and demand they take action.

What about a craft fair? Im stockpiling finished projects for a fall fair target and then plan to donate what doesn’t sell.

A small black Cairn Terrier is splooted out on a light grey floor in front of a toe-kick heater on a cold New England January day.

Hanging out with a neighbor this morning. He’s a fan of our under-counter heating.

Crossing my fingers for you all the way across the country. The LA metro area is great and my heart aches for all of you living through this.

I hate it. I’m often doing it later in the evening and I’m no longer in my 20s, that kind of thing could kill me. It’s like they gave the owl a god complex.

….and the bond between cousins…” Listen. I get into it with anyone the first people I’m calling are my cousins, whether it’s fighting supernatural beings or someone’s awful in-laws. They are my ride or die. Looking forward to this. #bluepit

That is terrifying because people can barely afford basics, never mind a five-figure repair to keep their insurance. What region of the country are you in? I haven’t heard of anyone experiencing this in the northeast where I am but you know they’re coming for us.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Every day not reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by a crackling fire in an ominous château in the French countryside during a raging snowstorm is a day wasted.

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

It is January 4 and my list of grievances for Festivus is now a double-sided piece of paper.

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

I would 100% wear that as is but the beanie is great on its own. Great work!
