Personally I think Ukraine and Mexico should start negotiating the return of Texas to Mexico. They could hold talks in Cuba.
Today, Democratic Governor Wes Moore of MD is stepping in and paying SNAP recipients in his state. Today Republican Glenn Youngkin of VA froze SNAP payments to his citizens because Trump demanded it. That’s America right now, in a nutshell.

Stacked my cord of firewood. Filled my inside wood bins, checked the chimneys. Changed the carb on my snowblower, blew out the property drains that ice up. I’m retiring my ‘49 PowerWagon so I finished the front/rear lockers in my f150. Did my 6-month generator test. I’m ready winter: Bring it.

On the other hand, naming a stadium that hosts a team that hasn't done anything in decades* other than rip-off its fans is kinda appropriate. We can call it Trump University Stadium.

So: fund the government, vote no on the ACA in 30 days, then do a bunch of rescissions to destroy whatever else they might have agreed on or any regulatory authority to enforce anything. I’m so out of the Democratic Party.

I can recall when this nepo-baby started his “twitter philanthropy”. Turns out that was just a trick to use a tiny fraction of his family wealth to build a following, that he now uses to gaslight Americans into thinking longer debt terms are game changers.
