Thoughts spoken out loud often cause me grief. I believe a moving body & time outdoors heals the soul. Love gardening, books (all genres) & mutts—own two pit mixes and a cat. 🐾 Not into DMs.

This is what honoring an oath “to serve and protect” looks like!!
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

“…and of course, utilizing the US Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal.” — Karoline Leavitt about Greenland.
Wrong.
1. It would violate our treaty with Denmark.
2. It would be an act of aggression, not law enforcement—and would require congressional approval.

Biden was correct and honest when he said the Attorney General served as the People's Lawyer and not an attorney for the President.
It's a lasting shame that Merrick Garland couldn't see the urgency of crisis and didn't do more to protect the People of the United States of America.

Hey @meetthepress.com!
Kristen Welker on Meet the Press is failing the moment. She’s slow to challenge, can’t adapt as interviews unfold, and lets guests run her over. Just this morning, Marco Rubio contradicted himself repeatedly—sometimes in the same sentence—and it went unchecked!

As TV networks trot out Republicans blaming Democrats for high insurance costs—never mind the GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House and have nothing more than a “concept” of a plan—let’s remember: health insurance used to be run by non-profits.
BEFORE 1973, MOST U.S. HEALTH INSURANCE WAS NON-PROFIT!
For-profit insurers grew after WWII thru employer plans & accelerated after the 1973 HMO Act.
Private plans surged in 1994 when Blue Cross went for-profit—shrinking the share of premiums spent on care!

How health insurance changed from protecting patients to seeking profit
Health insurance began as a method of protecting patients and keeping hospitals afloat. Then it became a for-profit industry. An excerpt from An American Sickness.

Republicans hit the Sunday shows blaming Dems for high premiums! But after 15 yrs of sabotaging Obamacare, THEY NEVER once passed 1 cost-cutting bill! Even now—with the House, Senate, & White House—they’ve done NOTHING… except head home for the holidays, secure they’ll have health insurance in ‘26!!
PASS IT ON:
For 15+ yrs—starting the day it passed—March 23, 2010—Republicans pledged to “repeal & replace” the ACA! Since then, they’ve voted more than 70 times to repeal, gut, or weaken the law! When repeal failed, they pivoted to courts to sabotage, including zeroing out the individual mandate!
