If today’s events remind you of waking up in December 1989 and hearing the news about Panama, please make sure you’ve had a preventative colonoscopy…if you have insurance which many now do not and that’s the real reason for this distraction, friends. It’s not Epstein.

This is a difficult time of year for many, and that isn’t lost on me. Since 2020, not only do the holidays not hit the same for the 1M+ in this country who lost loved ones to Covid — including myself, and many of you — but there are millions still getting a grasp after years, or even decades,

We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.

My favorite Hanukkah tradition is my annual potato grating injury. It lasts at least 8 nights and reminds me of the holiday every time I bend my thumb.

Today the Republicans in Congress voted to allow health insurance premiums to spike, making it unaffordable for millions of Americans.
This does NOT take into account the $1T(yes, that is a T) in Medicaid cuts that won't go into effect until after the midterms.
And they have no plan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on 60 Minutes: “After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house.”
It takes a special kind of hypocrite to threaten others & then play the victim when you're treated the same way.

Let’s all rally around Mark Kelly and let him know he has our support! We’ve got your six, Senator!
Pete Hegseth is scheduled to receive a report by December 10th that decides whether he's going to recall Mark Kelly to active duty and court-martial him. Before that happens, we're asking you to sign on (link in comments) and tell Mark: We've got your six.
