Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

My husband is having open heart surgery to fix a flapping valve this Thursday. Prayers, good thoughts, meditations, screaming at the clouds, playing a song—all is welcome. I love him. I want more years with him.

They want us to feel hopeless. Hope is always here. Look at flowers and tress. That’s hope IMO

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.
