Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

“Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.”
Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

The point isn’t to pat ourselves on the back because we have it better. It’s to remember that if people like Navalny are willing to risk imprisonment, torture, and death to resist an evil empire, there is no excuse for us to back down.
Even in Death, Navalny Still Threatens the Putin Regime
The opposition leader’s posthumous memoir is a chronicle of a death foretold.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!
