sure we are all well. Even I roll thru despondency every few days, but like a wave, I hold my breath, swim through it and rise to the surface when it passes.
There is an override to a President’s veto power but that would require a majority of non-traitors.
Let's say Dems somehow magically force GOP to pass ACA subsidies. Bill goes to DJT.
Does he willingly sign it?
Or does he instead veto it immediately & blast GOP pols as idiots, traitors & scumbags who the DOJ should investigate & announce that he will force them all out of office ASAP?

You’re perfect the way you are. Thanks for the recs.
They are a godsend, even the big stuff book. Alot of stoicism tbh too. Darren Brown's Happy weirdly very good. EDMR. Most self help books don't expect you to recall it all this clearly. Hence it's hard to give me therapy. 🤣

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Keeps happening in elections in various countries, when someone runs on transphobia regardless of how it is framed, they lose. Trans people existing and having rights doesn't hurt the lives of anyone else, however trans people losing rights will hurt everyone as all rights erode.

For being the President, Trump doesn’t seem to know much.
When NBC News asked Trump Friday about the bundle containing less food, the president responded: "Well, I haven't heard that."
"Who are you with?" Trump continued. "Fake news."

President Trump has pointed to the cost of Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal bundle, which is roughly 25% less expensive this year than it was last year, as an example of the economy experiencing a “golden age.”
But the 2025 Thanksgiving bundle is also smaller than the 2024 package.

Trump touts cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving meal to vindicate his policies — ignoring a key detail
Since Tuesday's elections, Trump has repeatedly boasted that Walmart's Thanksgiving meal bundle is cheaper than it was under President Joe Biden. But there's also less food in it.

Read that one. Very useful. Might be time to revisit.
Yep quote alot. And learn to process alot of negative stuff in a way that makes me feel less awful. One of my favourite books for this is Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and It's All Small Stuff By Richard Carlson and the series. All really useful for reframing it all. But plenty you just can't reframe
