Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

It snowed. It’s not like there’s a violent mob outside beating up cops who are desperately trying to protect members of Congress inside.

Just met with Senator Murkowski to share my concerns about Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI Director. This nomination disrespects the dedication and sacrifices of the brave men and women of the FBI. The Bureau needs trusted, impartial leadership. This isn’t it.

I've seen them all, big & small, rich & poor, old & new, but it's not the size of a town or how prosperous it is that matters to me. The most important aspect of any town is how much its people love & care for one another. I believe the greatest gift is love

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.
We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

I found that I have been happier since I changed from coffee in the morning to orange juice. My doctor explained that it's the vitamin C and natural sugars, but I really think it's the vodka.

it's equal rights.
Privilege would be
something like gay
people not paying taxes.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.
For $250. For her classroom…
