I am just a mom that loves her family. I love to hike and I play around with photography and I write a bit. I find peace out in nature be it by a small stream, ocean or sitting on a mountain, in a forest or out in a meadow full of tall grass and flowers.

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

Thank you to former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra for explaining.

My sense is that Trump and Republicans will cave in this shutdown fight (he won’t admit he’s caving, of course, but he will cave).

Why? Air traffic controllers.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
 
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

"Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:

They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement because they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled through terror.

The best way to resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you."

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the “radical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.

Does anyone know what the deal with Instagram is? For the last two days it has been impossible for me to reshare other people's posts if they deal with news about ICE raids or even a dog dressed up like a butterfly. I get a pop-up message.

We’ve been warning about the propaganda. For more proof of how aggressively the Trump administration is pushing its propaganda machine, just look at the government websites.

Remember, while the government is shut down and thousands of hardworking federal employees stop receiving their paychecks, the politicians who caused this mess will still get paid on time.

If regular people can’t get their money, neither should the politicians who failed you and skipped town.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.
