Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.
What’s “moderate” about that?

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

What can go wrong?
An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

And blue states should declare an emergency and withhold all federal taxes from leaving their states, creating a slush fund for their own version of FEMA and cutting Trump out of the loop.
Not saying we can't help the red states but not unless they reform their elections systems 😇
