My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

"This is a White House that is very focused on making sure the top end of town is doing okay. We do know that they've passed a budget that helps the rich. We do know that tariffs hurt the poor. We do know that when an economy slows down, that hurts working and middle class families the most."

Going to drop this tidbit: check your ferritin (iron stores).
Should be at least 30 but even better is over 50.
The reference ranges from the lab for what’s “normal” run way too low.

We are all exhausted and have so many reasons to be.
But if you’re a menstruating person you may be iron deficient so get your ferritin checked & make sure it’s at least over 30 (even better over 50)!

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

Now that they have actually litigated the legality of throwing sandwiches, we need someone to take one for the team and chuck a burger at someone so we can finally answer the question that has divided Western society for generations

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.
