Trump’s VA is falling apart.
Support staff are gone. Nurses are scrambling. Doctors are prepping rooms and booking appointments themselves. Veterans are waiting longer for basic care.
This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. And Veterans are paying the price.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

I miss those first days when this platform was all new and shiny and not full of assholes. Remember that? The gratefulness to find community with like minds that would follow each other and bond over saving our Democracy? It’s fast becoming Twitter 2.0, blue version. Another home for cruel arrogance

There aren’t many Americans alive today who have seen the kind of retail devastation that is coming. Most are blissfully unaware. But not for long. When current inventories run out, the retail hunger games will begin. Empty shelves, lack of affordable basic necessities or access to them. It’s coming

In almost 20 years, my small business has never had ZERO Mother’s Day gift basket orders this close to the holiday. My vendors are also reporting that their online orders have crashed out as well. When you aren’t buying for your momma, sh£tz real bad. We are so screwed.

Would it be so bad to have a color coded check system? Blue for celebs, another for organizations and another for regular folks who can prove that they are real people on here? I’m so tired of having to decipher the real follows from the bots. I’d be happy to supply verifications to prove I’m real.

The number of bots that follow and DM us on here is significant. Anyone else considering deleting this app? I seem to spend more time blocking bots than interacting with real people. That’s no fun.

I didn’t protest this weekend, but I did volunteer to help an organization teach leadership skills to young women in sport featuring Olympic legend Sheryl Swoops. The incoming generation of women will need these skills more than ever,both in sport and in life. #inspireher #leadership #watchme

I’ve lost too many friends to this damn disease. Stay vigilant, listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and push back on doctors, especially those who think they know better than you do about your own body.

Diagnosed with 'dense breasts'? You may need more than a mammogram
About 40% of women have dense or extremely dense breasts. Online risk assessment tools can help women decide if a breast MRI is a good idea.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control
