Disgusting
Billionaires made $698 billion last year while families like yours were forced to choose between food and healthcare.
Why?
The system is rigged in their favor – now it's time to build one that works for all of us.

We really got it so wrong in 2016 and 2020.
Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Wild times we live in.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I have the hardest time with the "you don't be to finish books you don't enjoy." i always feel like if I start it I gotta finish it. Definitely a habit I need to break.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Personally I like traveling around this country to different cities. Each place has its own uniqueness that I can appreciate. I'm at 35 now and I probably won't get to all 50 because I probably won't go to Ft. Worth AND El Paso. But I'll definitely get to at least 48.
