An 86 year old who, though seen as invisible due to her age, is tightening her seatbelt as she sits in the front row of the upcoming Washington Shit Show. We will learn and we will return. And when we do, it will be a brand new day.

The Trump/GOP math doesn’t math! Trump/GOP pay for their $ handouts to billionaires by making everything unaffordable for Americans! 22 million Americans will have their health care premium costs skyrocket through the roof as of January 1st due to Trump/Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits!

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Years ago I wanted to run for something on this, and someone at Run For Something said they never heard of a pro-business dem… and I never heard from them again (and I never ran for something)… countrywide, small businesses need a leg up to be able to compete - this needs to be adopted everywhere.

These seemingly obvious ideas have been avoided like the plague from most politicians. Imagine what we could become as a country with leaders who give a shit.

No one should be ok with Trump and his crime family making deals with Russia about the future of Ukraine or any other country. It’s not in the name of peace. It’s in the name of a criminal enterprise.

Kids getting free school meals are often bullied. The correct solution is that school cafeterias shouldn't have a till. Everyone should get a nutritious three course meal. And we should all pay for this through our taxes.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.
