If people don't know, they need to pay more attention to history.
Perhaps, just perhaps, if they did, we would be in less dire straights.
Today is Veteran’s Day. We honor those that have served our country. 🇺🇸

Did you know: Veteran’s Day is on November 11th because it marks the armistice signed between the Allies of WW1 & Germany, which took effect at 11:00 am: the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918

The moment the Affordable Care Act was signed into law.
It is a dirty shame how Republicans have tried to get rid of it, with no replacement in sight. Ever! I will always be grateful for President Obama. He truly cared about America.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
