After watching my father’s struggle in a system that values profit over compassion, I wonder: how much longer will we accept a future where most of us lose our sense of human worth in old age?
In the US, not even $11,000 a month can buy you dignity at the end of your life

Baby's Day Out ☀️

Tula-Tu explored outside in Elephant Lands for the first time yesterday! Now that the weather is warmer, she'll be spending more time playing in the sun with her mom and aunties.

i think it's great that this blubbering dilettante is responsible for maintaining the nation's most critical transportation infrastructure
Duffy on the shortage of air traffic controllers: "We have too many controllers that retire after 25 years of service. And so we have to look and go, is this a national security issue? Is this a safety issue? And should these air traffic controllers be retiring after 25 years of service?"

Stop thinking of the Trump regime as a presidency doing politics. Start seeing it as a Mafia-style crime syndicate running a protection racket.
New in PN: There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump

"The nature of a protection racket is that it doesn’t actually keep one safe. The cost to comply can always go up. The nature of what constitutes compliance can always be changed. And once you agree to pay, you can’t really stop"

Make no mistake: cruel cuts at our health care agencies are going to kneecap our ability to inspect food and drugs. To offer addiction recovery resources. To make sure Medicaid and Medicare work as they should.

These are disastrous cuts, and we will continue fighting them.

POINT OF ORDER: I just can’t let this go. I won’t let this go. Four service members died and our president, our leader, has said nothing. They died in Europe and Europeans honored our fallen solders. Our president, vice president, crickets. I’m disgusted still.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
