If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!
Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

I think With Love, Meghan with Meghan Sussex is brilliant and is the first thing in years that has made my nervous system calm and made me want to host and be creative. It’s like a kindness bubble and I’m so grateful for it. Only adoration from here.

California should not have to kneel or earn the right for federal aid. All states should not have to jump through any hoops to receive disaster relief under the next administration. Not interested in paper towels tossed during disasters either.

The older you get, the more you realize you have no desire for drama, conflict, and any kind of intensity. You just want a cozy home, a nice book and a person who knows how you drink your coffee or tea. Hoping your New Year brings your heart this peace, and enjoyment in life's simple moments.
