Senator Josh Hawley’s bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the President, and Vice President has passed out of committee.

The vote was 8–7, with Hawley being the only GOP to join Dems.

White House had lobbied against the bill since it includes the President and Vice President.

I am thankful for the witness of the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society. This is the sign in front their building today.

The image shows an older man and a young boy sitting together, both smiling and laughing. The older man has white hair and is wearing a light-colored shirt. The young boy appears to be holding a toy. There are speech bubbles in the image: - The speech bubble from the older man says, "At your age, I worked 14 hrs a day and never complained..." - The speech bubble from the young boy replies, "Luckily other people DID complain, so stop romanticizing your lack of balls and stupid conformism”

Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.”

She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line.

By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year.

Numbers are fun.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Crazy, isn’t it?

Christianity has almost always supported the projects of Empire whereas Jesus did all in his power to undermine it. Be like Jesus and reject Empire and all its trappings.

Exactly.

"Defend, deny, depose." Can we all get behind Medicare for all now?

Canceled mine today!

Who here agrees?

Trigger warning! I was drugged and raped in my home by an acquaintance. I drove myself to the ER at 9pm the following day, after debating for hours. I walked up to the desk, said my name, and told the nurse that I needed a rape kit. I had my sheets, the clothes I had been wearing, and other potential evidence in a paper bag. The woman asked me if l'd prefer she register me as a Jane Doe, "for privacy". I said absolutely not. I was still under my father's health insurance policy, with, guess who? Ding ding, UHC. It took 7 hours before I was discharged. I was alone. I was already so traumatized, that those 7 hours don't feel particularly traumatic in comparison, but I assure you- it was every bit as bad as it looks on SVU. That's not the point. The point, is that two weeks later I received a bill in the mail. Paraphrased, it read: "SEXUAL ASSUALT EXAM- $1200. INSURANCE COVERAGE- DENIED. AMOUNT DUE- $1200" And then another, in two more weeks. And then another. And then they added red font.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

Wait wait wait….

UnitedHealthcare did what now?!?!?🧐😳

Though this won’t happen, it’s 💯 necessary.

132 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 132 years the problem has only gotten worse.

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

When our hearts and minds are transformed in the Spirit of Christ, we stop loving and caring because we should, and start loving and caring because that's just who we are.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

James Baldwin

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

THIS is how it’s done, folks.
