Some days, it's very hard to live by the principles of Dudeism. I have to remind myself regularly what they are:
To just take it easy;
To be dude (easygoing) to everyone I meet;
To keep my mind limber.
The Dude abides. And so shall we.

Trump is weaponizing travel disruptions to pressure Democrats into accepting healthcare cuts.
DOT Secretary Duffy can call it a "safety measure" all he wants—everyone knows it's politics. They took paychecks from workers, they took food from kids, now they want to disrupt your life.

I know the mood here now, but a plausible scenario:
If the Senate passes this, Johnson will ignore it or reconvene the House to maybe kill it (on Trump's orders?).
And which point Dems may offer a privileged resolution to swear in Grijalva.
So she gets in, while the deal doesn't go through.

Just saw this video about farm workers, ICE, H2A visas, and modern day slavery in the US. I always thought the whole ICE thing was to essentially enslave farm workers. I didn't realize it's been going on for ages, and Trump is just trying to supercharge the slavery.

I watched this and highly recommend it. Wait till you get to the part where Dr. Lee is asked how many people with Trump's mental disorder she has met, and she says, "About a thousand." They're in maximum security prisons.
Dr. Bandy X. Lee, forensic/social psychiatrist, joins Joanna Coles to sound the alarm abt Trump’s dire mental health problems; explains how Trump’s paranoia, fear of exposure, & relentless need for power drive his behavior & how these patterns spread thru society, creating true MH health contagion.⚠️

I checked in on my niece who lives in Dogscratch, Arkansas, works at Walmart, and has been battling colon cancer. She couldn't get SNAP even when on disability (cancer treatment) because her income of $800 a month was too high.
Yes, Trump. You are going to hell.
