Tired of the status quo. Both sides’ leadership are awful and painfully detached from how we feel. I got several rambunctious cats. Huge proponent for mental health. Like huge. And I like sharing poetry about it.

FYI. If you follow me. You’ll know I’m madly in love with @landlockedmermaid.bsky.social and make sure she knows it. 😘😘😘

I mean. I know the fucking root of the cause. The most expensive healthcare in the planet by far is the culprit. Get profit out of healthcare. Problem solved.

Great idea. Exception Schumer purposefully found 8 that aren’t running again or aren’t up for election until 2028 in hopes our short memories(let’s be real. We do)will forget all about this in a few years. This is what majority and minority leaders manage. Our politics fucking suck.
Primary every Dem Senator that just caved to Trump.

Now we see the why between The Who. @schumer.senate.gov were not fucking stupid man. Enough of the political games man. We’re so far beyond that shit. It’s why we’re screaming to replace you. Step down man.
None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection:

• Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026

• Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028

• Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030

• John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028

• Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028

I can’t imagine the healthcare industry is thrilled about what’s happening. Putting the onus on a completely over leveraged populace isn’t going to make them more money.Wait until those ridiculous five figure bills stop getting paid by insurance companies.No one has a spare $25K for healthcare folks

Ya know @schumer.senate.gov For someone that doesn’t want the internet folk mad him. You do a lot of things to get the internet folk mad. Just sayin

Ugh. Morons. The problem isn’t the mortgages. It’s the prices. The payment difference between a 30 and a 50 on a median(here’s the problem)price of $400K with 5% down is less than $150/mo. Paying an extra twenty years to save $150/mo. That’s not solving jack shit.
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Just wanted to let y'all know, there are 25-50 serial killers in the US at any given time, and any one of them can take a person without consequences just by dressing like an ICE agent. All thanks to Trump.

I wonder if one of the justices interracial marriage had anything to do with it.

I think this might’ve been the reason here. This forces them to swear her in. Then the vote to release the files I’m hearing has plenty of republican support if it ever gets to a vote. Which sounds like impeachment support. I hope this play doesn’t backfire. Because ACA subsidies are real.
The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

And this church now probably has about $200B in straight cash from all of it(it was $100B ten years ago and we’ve seen what these last few years has done for the with ultra resources). Cults are a bitch. And human beliefs are fucking dumb.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Mike Pence: I don't believe the Constitution affords the President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on friend and foe, and I hope the Supreme Court turns that around.
Ultimately, American businesses and American consumers pay the tariffs.

As someone that knows mortgage. The payment difference between a 30 year and a 50 year is nowhere near what you’d think.

It’s almost like it’s a cult.
Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.
