One party wants to feed children school lunch.
One party wants to feed human beings to alligators.
When people say both sides are the same remind them of this fact.

I can confirm from firsthand experience: Italian Healthcare really cares. Less than $125 for a doctor's visit and prescriptions.
Plus? The Doctor trained at USC and Emory and said Ciao to the US healthcare system and came back to Italy.
Hubby is resting. So I'm solo today. Love Florence!

I hope the Dems do this when we are back in the majority.

I am sick and tired of media, especially legacy media, telling us what our future is. Also tired of people acting like those opinions are make a difference.

I swear, if Daboll does onto another team and makes the playoffs, Schoen HAS to go. I don't begrudge Daniel Jones success, I never though NY was a good match for him.
Daboll however, that's it. At least he never got a McAdoo haircut.

As part of the Giants' statement firing Brian Daboll, John Mara and Steve Tisch say, "Joe Schoen remains in his position as general manager and will lead the search for a new head coach."

He walked away faster than RFK Jr. did in the WH.
Asked point-blank if he’ll bring ACA extensions to the floor, Speaker Johnson bolted. We know the answer already. He won’t.
Further proof that Republicans don’t care about bringing your health care costs down.

I love being a Democrat. It's time for the party to stop acting like it's a blanket. We are a big tent. We need to make Adjustments. We can have a platform that accepts differences and allows us to live together.

The first two are images from Google Maps. I typed in the South Lawn of the White House. The bottom right one is the rendering going around. Wouldn't that be the West Wing we're looking at?

Why was no architectural salvage done when they demolished the East Wing? Why isn't any reporter asking (and investigating) this?
