Here’s something you might not know if you’re not super rich.

Today is the day that people who make $1 million a year stop paying into Social Security.

Working people pay all year, but the rich get a break.

Lift the cap and pull millions of seniors out of poverty.

And then we need to hold the next Congress accountable.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

So, if Trump's health rapidly declined and Vance assumed the Presidency, would Vance get us out of Iran and not go into Cuba, or would he double down on both?

Wish the losses were limited to the top 1%. Sadly, it's likely a lot of middle class pensions are being decimated.

Caught the #Idaho Vandal Marching Band from Moscow, in downtown Boise, celebrating the "Starch Madness" Big Sky Conference tournament. I love marching bands!

I don't want to cut down dead plants & clear leaves until it's been over 50⁰F at night for at least a week, so pupating native bees have a chance to hatch. Problem is, it's getting warm during the day (so crocuses are all up), but still dropping down at night. Usually crocuses would be blooming yet.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Idaho just announced that we won't be sharing voter data with the federal government. Is the DOJ going to be suing Idaho as well?

While it's great for a primary, they will be using it for all elections.

I only use print on demand when I work early voting. It's pretty easy. We've only had rare goofs if it somehow sucks two sheets of paper through at once, printing half a ballot on each sheet. In that case you just spoil it and reprint.
Total positive game changer in precincts with multiple styles.

Markwayne Mullin is not necessarily better. He's an absolutely an idiot, and lockstep with Trump and Miller. Miller will still call the shots.

And now Mullin is going to head DHS. They have been sending pregnant teenagers in DHS custody down to a horrible concentration camp in rural TX where they can't receive medical crucial care.

The people sitting behind Noem are not happy about being there. I'd guess by their body language, they know she's lying, and they have a conscience. The woman on the left is looking at the floor, the man on the right is blinking in a rapid nervous flurry. Get them a decent, competent leader at DHS.

Went down a genealogy rabbit hole and found out my 4th Great Grandfather was one of LDS Prophet Joseph Smith's body guards in Nauvoo, IL during the "troublesome times of that period".
Color me stunned.
