$20 Billion for Argentina. 0 for SNAP in the USA (supplemental nutritional assistance program). Is this #magamath

abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory... MAGA doesn't want you to have affordable health care, affordable food, or access to either if you live in poverty. Vote these people out and release the Epstein files.

I'm waiting for all the different ways that MAGA people will look for ways to blame the passage of the worst bill ever on former President Joe Biden. It's not Joe's fault that MAGA members joined a cult led by the Antichrist.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

How does this support the average American? Does this bring down the price of groceries? How does this grow our economy?

What is substack? And how do you find interesting things to read on Blue Sky. So far I found a favorite author and we rate dogs 💛

This is Rocco. He's being praised a hero by his neighbors after his barking alerted them to an apartment fire that damaged 24 apartments last week. “They said they never hear him bark but he was barking out of control that something was wrong.” 14/10 good boy Rocco

I hope our friends and family will consider donating to the high school wrestling program. The program has grown to 50 students because the coaches believe in supporting every kid and their quest for good health and good sportsmanship. $5 or $10 really helps!
