President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

No one plans to be sick, but it happens.

Many hard-working people are a sickness away from financial ruin.

That’s why healthcare cannot be just a source of profit.

That’s where the ACA comes in. It’s worth defending!

The files didn’t vanish by accident.
The flights didn’t happen in a vacuum.
The witnesses didn’t forget.
And the cover-up didn’t build itself.
It took a team. A government. A silence.

Thanks to all the veterans, and to my two grandfathers (WW1), dad, two uncles, two great uncles and FIL (WW2), and brother (Vietnam).

We honor all who served

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The pain is REAL, so get the vaccine. It works
I looks like 2 or more cases of shingles correlates to a higher likelihood of dementia. See this free article.

Shingles itself can be horribly painful; I've had it once, & the minute a vaccine for it came out I rushed to get it & say Never Again!

How a childhood virus can contribute to dementia later and what you can do
A new study suggests that the shingles vaccine may help prevent dementia by reducing the risk of varicella-zoster virus reactivation

So tired of the LIES
The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

THIS!!! As always!
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.

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

In a democracy, power doesn’t rest in marble halls—it lives in our voices, our votes, our unity. When the people rise, no leader, lobby, or lie can stand in the way. The power is ours—always has been, always will be.

Thank you to EVERY single voter who exercised their RIGHT and Responsibility in yesterday’s elections. May we ALL follow their lead in campaigning for those we think deserve our trust and in VOTING next November
We ran the table and we ran up the score. From Maine to California, from New Jersey to Virginia, in New York City and Pennsylvania, Democracy is still alive and kicking. We are winning the shutdown.

Don't give into fear and cynicism.

Keep fighting back like millions of Americans did tonight.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.
