So, ummm, real talk - what exactly is Congress doing right now?? It seems that everything in our government is just being run through Tweet + Executive Order, so really curious why we are paying folks for work they aren't willing or able to do?

Don't see anyone talking about this - but for those not born in the US, they would need to show their ID + Certificate of Naturalization with matching names. Do you know how much it is to change your name with USCIS?
Five Hundered Dollars.
And it takes 6 months.

I can't determine if Tulsi Gabbard is playing dumb, or if she's just really this stupid. But my lord....this is cringe worthy

Sucks that I already know how disappointed I'll be in Democrats later tonight. They are gonna sit there wearing some pink bullshit, probably even clapping and telling us some absurdity like "we need to find common ground"
Failures. All of them.

Curious as to the effect the trade war and rapid destabilization of the US in just a matter of two weeks has had on Poilievre's chances to win. Hopefully everyone is realizing how quickly it can happen!

Has anyone considered the risks of having Alexa, a Bezos run listening device, in so many American homes as we transition into a dictatorship? If I were an activist, an immigrant, a woman, a member of the LGTBQ community, a parent of a trans kid, etc I'd throw that thing in the trash immediately!

Anytime foreign spending was suggested it was always met with folks saying"what about our homeless/kids/veterans/etc?!?"
Now that Trump has cut funding to those groups, notice how those same folks are quiet.
It was never about helping our own first, it was always about helping no one.

This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple…that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge.

Anyone else really struggling to find holiday joy this year?
I think the late Thanksgiving, combined with the super warm weather, my kiddo breaking their arm so we missed some traditional activities, and the dread of knowing what's coming next year is making it really hard to get in the spirit 😔

My bipartisan legislation to recognize the Bald Eagle as our national bird just passed Congress and is now headed to the President’s desk to be signed into law! 🦅
