Running Out of Time, Republicans in Congress Still Lack a Health Plan

Mere weeks away from Jan 1, and the GOP still doesn't have a plan for A) lapsing ACA subsidies, and B) health care in general.

They've had 6 months to figure out the former (inc. a 2 month House vacation)

They've had 15 years to figure out the latter.

The National Park Service will eliminate free entry on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth in 2026 while adding “patriotic fee-free days” including Donald Trump’s birthday, part of an executive order.

I Hate The Orange Racist squatting in the WH. 🤬

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

This dude is 3rd in line to the presidency and this is how he feels about women. Mediocre white men is going to be the demise of this country, we have got to do better to elect people of higher caliber. 2025 and this is how this guy thinks. Just fucking WOW‼️‼️

Don't forget that the president of Honduras was pardoned because of roger stones input. Who was pardoned in turn.
The US is essentially an outlaw state.
When people wear outlaw masks they are outlaws.

NAION Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a condition that occurs when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked. The blockage causes immediate, painless vision loss in the eye. NAION typically occurs suddenly. Vision loss is incurable and can be mild to severe. As many as 10% of patients who develop NAION feel pain, which might indicate another cause for the vision loss. NAION symptoms include: • Blurred vision • Distortion of color • Loss of peripheral vision • Loss of contract or sensitivity to light • Seeing dark or gray spots that don't move

Did you know about Ozempic blindness? Were you informed of this before taking it?

This is an active case and attorneys are looking to help if you fit this category.

Well, times ARE scary.
Are you a helper?
I'm trying very hard to be. I hope we all are.

SNAP cuts are hitting hard and pantries are packed. If you or someone you know needs food, check this verified list of free food resources by zip code: workmoney.org/money-savers/food/food-pantries-near-me?zipcode=10118 #Pinks #Momsky

With SNAP benefits hanging by a thread, families can’t wait on politics to eat. Here’s a list of NYC food pantries stepping up when the system doesn’t. Mutual aid is still feeding the city the government forgot. #Pink #Momsky

States are not playing. While the administration toys with cutting SNAP, governors and local agencies are stepping up, calling out the cruelty of starving working families for political games. People can’t eat ideology, and the states know it. #Pinks #MomSky

The Bronx Sunshine Garden pantry hit full capacity last Friday. Families are calling our volunteers, scared their kids will go hungry. This isn’t just about food—it’s about survival. The system is collapsing, and the community is left feeding itself while the government debates. #Pinks #MomSky

Where did the money meant for SNAP food benefits go?

Home Depot has failed to condemn ICE raids on its properties. Vigils will soon take place to remember the people who've been abducted and killed at Home Depot:

These vigils also warn customers that Home Depot has been silent about these injustices.

Regarding JD Vance, the gentleman is spot-fucking-on. 🎯🎯🎯👇

Live Updates: Inflation Edged Higher in September, as Tariffs Raise Some Prices

“The Consumer Price Index rose 3 percent from a year earlier, accelerating slightly from the previous month.”

A year ago, inflation was on its way DOWN but no more. #Trumpflation economic weight on families will continue to grow.

SNAP helped 1 in 8 people in the US afford food this past spring.

If the Republican government shutdown causes a lapse in assistance children will go hungry, people w/disabilities will go hungry, our neigbhors will go hungry.

Donate and volunteer at food banks. Call your reps.

Mikie Sherrill campaign graphic in support of her run for NJ Governor

Mikie Sherrill is fighting for affordable living in New Jersey—pushing for lower utility bills, universal affordable childcare, and real relief for working families. Meanwhile, Ciattarelli’s team would protect the rich while raising taxes on everyone else #VoteNJ

#PeteHegseth is a clown, who thinks if his body is covered in tats, that it makes him a tough guy. But he’s still a PAB.

My Father was a merchant marine who didn’t have one tat, but to date, is still the toughest man I have ever known.

Bless JB Pritzker For Saying Trump Is Crazy And Must Be Removed Can I get an Amen?

Amen!

From The Onion.

🎧 The Trump regime illegally leaked Mikie Sherrill's unredacted military file to Jack Ciattarelli’s ally, putting her private information at risk.

Beyond being morally reprehensible, such dirty moves are threats to national security.

The good news? Veterans across America have her back! #VoteNJ
