🚨 Wolves still need your voice! Congress is considering bills that could strip protections from gray wolves in 44 states. Losing these safeguards would leave wolves vulnerable to hunting and persecution.

Why do they get ANY meal stipend?!
I'm a teacher. I'm lucky if I get 15-20 minutes for lunch. There is no time for a leisurely lunch out on the town and the cost of my lunch CERTAINLY isn't covered by the tax payers.
This entire system needs an overhaul. 🤦♀️

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Adelita Grijalva brought two Epstein survivors to her swearing in ceremony and Congress gave them a standing ovation.
She then immediately voted to discharge the Epstein petition.
She exuded grace and class and never stopped fighting for her right to govern.
She’s a badass.

Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

This is pretty irresponsible. It’s time to deep six Faux News.
NEW REPORT from ProPublica finds that Fox News manufactured riots fit for air, using old footage or footage that was not of Portland, for months leading up to September.
It was so convincing that the network apparently prompted Trump to send federal forces to the Pacific Northwest. trib.al/koDwQMR

Well, this does force Johnson to re-open the House and thus seat the final vote to release the Epstein files (vote)
What bums me out is the loss of momentum, and we didn’t even get the Epstein Files released unredacted. Why cave if zero concessions are made? It is almost as if people in the US need a third option for when geriatric blue hop in bed with antique red. Progressive agenda or bust!
In the end, the Democrats essentially got nothing, and Trump notches another victory over opponents who convinced themselves that resistance is futile.
By folding, Democrats rewarded Trump’s hostage-taking and emboldened his bullying.
