This tells all of US a lot!
Trump’s panel on women’s health during his first term had zero women on it. ZERO. Just a bunch of old men talking about shit they know nothing about.

Remember when the big issue of the day was the price of eggs?

My groceries last week were double what they were a year ago and the only thing I buy on the list below is coffee.

Wow, it’s almost as if oligarchs have systematically recreated the oppressive unjust class systems that our ancestors fled. Those systems made life so unbearable they sacrificed everything for the hope of a better life.

From Robert Hubbell today:

If you live in NV, MN, CA, NY, NJ, IL or CT, llet Senators Cortez Masto (202-224-3542) and Amy Klobuchar (202-224-3244) know how feel about a bill that threw 25% of Americans under the bus.

We’re on our own. Public-owned banks can help. Been following since 2017 and have watched momentum build.

Imagine, a bank that returns a community’s wealth to the community.

Best quote ever about the Big Horrible Bill by Sen. Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov on the Senate floor:

“This place feels to me, today, like a crime scene. Get some of that yellow tape and put it around this chamber. This piece of legislation is corrupt.”

Constituents are mad and worried about Medicaid cuts now, but according to mitch mcconnell they’ll “get over it.”

Yes because, according to joanie ernst, “everybody dies.”

The regressive party’s new slogan, “Don’t like it? Die and get over it.”

Key points from Robert Hubbell yesterday:

The president of the United States does not have the authority to declare war; congress should do its own job.

I don't understand why the media doesn't address this but instead treats Iran like a reality show -- will he? won't he?

What occurred to me only yesterday is that it didn’t enter my mind to be appalled that 47 did not respond to the murders and attempted murders of MN legislators.

Nor did I see any coverage anywhere about his lack of leadership and decency.

No one is surprised or appalled.

Day 148 ☀️Yesterday the nation showed the globe that we DO NOT support this regime or their fascist agenda. We showed that Americans are MORAL, LOVING & POWERFUL. Our “government” doesn’t represent us & we WILL take back democracy. I can SEE it now & that’s something I didn’t have before yesterday. 🦋
