I decided I'm doing a No News day tomorrow. I feel overwhelmed with sorrow from too many directions, it makes my heart heavy. I want to enjoy the holidays, simply soak in goodness and paying attention every day to the news this year has exhausted me. I still have loads of hope, I just need a rest.♥️

Let’s face it. That people chose a man with no morals, ethics, values or decency over a highly qualified woman (twice) is what destroyed the White House.
We could rebuild the East Wing, the Rose Garden and purge all his gaudy ornaments…but the stench of Donald Trump will persist for generations.

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Shouldn’t we be asking “where is all that money DOGE saved us?” Billions slashed from agency budgets, but that funding was already appropriated. Where’s the billions in funding congress directed under the bipartisan infrastructure bill? Where’s that? It’s all papering accounts, but where is it?

A quorum in the House is 218. The dems have 213. If they get 6 reps to join them they can convene the House, depose Johnson and seat Grijalva. Then they can pass a budget, save Medicare and the ACA, pay SNAP, and release the epstein files.
