50-year mortgages and 10-year car loans are not making life more affordable for Americans.
It's an admission that wages have not kept up, even remotely, with inflation, and that Americans can not afford the basics of life without being burdened with life-long debt.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Today is Pentecost, and at church this morning, reading through the story in the book of Acts, I was imagining the voices of joyful cacophony of other languages.

All this destruction could stop tomorrow, IF a few R's just find their spines. But, I don't have confidence that that will happen.

What people want from Democrats is clear:
They want elected Ds to acknowledge we’re in an emergency and 2. act like it.
It’s not complicated.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.
