There is such sadness in knowing this would happen, and helplessly watching as it comes to pass.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.
They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.
The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

yet another example of how actually saying what’s going on (a unilateral seizure of Congressional power) doesn’t sound “balanced” enough, so view-from-nowhere media can’t tell you what’s happening in plain language

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.
It's a lie.

Our community deserves a Representative who actually knows how much groceries cost — and why that cost matters for families.
Instead, #MI13 has an out-of-touch multimillionaire who has more in common with Trump & Elon than any of us.
I'm running to replace him. Are you with me?
