Nature lover, avid reader, love my husband, dogs and horses. Politically, I'm left of center: a former Republican who wised up in 2016 when Trump was elected. I live in a red county in Colorado.

It bothers me a lot, too. He is unhinged now and so obviously in a mad, crazy, state of mind.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein filesβ€”and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

I'm looking forward to this amplification of my understanding of America's origin story.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It takes young people to tell the truth and speak out. Never forget that we are relying on young people for our future.

WATCH β€” @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : β€œMy amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Thank you, Senators. This is why you’ll continue to have the support of the people.

Elected officials must check the White House again because these nasties will be around for centuries, affecting air, water and food.

πŸ’―. It wasn't about just the ACA subsidesβ€”it was about those and … everything else.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

After losing several rounds of litigation over the First Amendment issue, Davis’ lawyers decided to tack on a bigger request: Suddenly, they did not merely ask for exemptions from Obergefell; they wanted the Supreme Court to overturn it altogether. They raised this claim so late in the game that the appeals court ruled that it had been forfeited. But that did not stop them from including the frontal attack on Obergefell in their appeal to SCOTUS. The request to overturn marriage equality was tacked on to the petition like an afterthought, following the main arguments about religious freedom.

The Supreme Court was always going to swat away Kim Davis’ latest appeal, which did not even properly raise an attack on marriage equality.

But pay close attention to what the Republican-appointed justices get away with after today’s positive headlines fade. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Lies as to bi-partisanship - Barrasso detailing the pain, and yet the Republicans gave nothing. Asses all of them, no sympathy for people paying for exorbitant health insurance.

I'm against any actions that harass teachers no matter their expression of personal opinions, be they pro-Gaza or pro-Israel. Slander is slander, and a personal threat is just plain wrong.

Time to swear in Adelita Grijalva, let her cast the final vote to release the Epstein files!

That's great, but in Academy District 20 in Colorado Springs, CO, all 3 of the M4L candidates won this election. The next one is in 2027. The conservative churches have a lock on this school board, and sadly enough, not even enough parents realized what was at stake. Now 2 more years of these people

"ACA-related subsidies accounted for just 6% of all federal health insurance spending in 2023" www.pgpf.org/article/how-...

To understand, these subsidies are to help people who don't qualify for Medicare or Medicaid still get healthcare?

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Republicans publicly claimed they wouldn’t cut Medicare. That’s why they did it so sneakily.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply β€œcities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.
