Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

Great idea! Give each person, say, $5k-10k a year to spend on whatever healthcare they need, and let them keep whatever left over as a "MAHA" bonus.
Now, if there was just a way to mitigate the risk that an unforeseen illness or injury required someone to spend more than $5k-10k a year. 🤔 (Sarcasm)

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.
This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.
She nails where so many of us are right now.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.
He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

Listen, think what you want about Hakeem Jeffries. I know I’ve had my fair share of disagreements.
But even after Schumer caved and betrayed all of us, Hakeem is whipping votes on the House floor to try and block this shitty deal and protect Americans’ healthcare. That’s worth a lot.

I remember a story from a history class that I didn’t sleep through.
JFK sent RFK out into poor neighborhoods to see what it was like.
Two filthy rich brothers, right?
RFK came back dumbfounded at how shitty it was. This lead to Civil Rights.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
