I was very close to 26 when I came out, and I am 32 now.

"They don't care about Trump's past sins, they care about his current failures" is quite a GOP message.
Rep. Jason Smith: "Epstein had been dead for years. It's not something I hear from people when I travel back home in Missouri. They care about the affordability crisis."

The Supreme Court takes up a major immigration case that asks whether the U.S. government can effectively prevent migrants from applying for asylum by blocking them at the border. I am very, very worried about this one. www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-f...

So sick of the Dems snatching Defeat out of the jaws of Victory.
The Senate passed a bill to reopen the federal government Monday evening, getting just enough votes to move forward with the help of seven Democrats and one independent senator.

The measure will now head to the House. https://wapo.st/43m56gA

I am licensed in multiple states for health insurance and I have my 2026 FFM certification for ACA plans

Off-exchange plans are still offered by insurance carriers, and the money would still be going to them, but without the benefits and discounts available through the exchange
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

I follow this dude on IG that says he is a physical therapist that works primarily with dementia and Alzheimer’s patients and according to him, Trump has 4-7 months to live. I’m sending this out because I’ve been following him ~3 months. I’m hoping we have a very merry Christmas.

there has never been a presidency that has spent more time on LGBTQ issues as this Trump administration. they are wholly obsessed with queer people. the time/effort on LGBTQ issues is coming 97% from the right.

i'm so fucking tired of the gaslighting on this. why does everyone have this backwards?
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Do y’all think Civil War II will start from the Republicans giving the American people the false choice of either opening the government and let others die from losing their healthcare or keep it closed and let folks starve?

He's going to take money from my importation business (in the form of tariffs) and give it to other Americans who don't import goods.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is just wealth redistribution Republicans claim to despise. *At the expense of small businesses.*
Trump: "We'll probably make a distribution out of some of the tariff money over the next fairly short period of time to people."

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture
Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.

Let's get something clear: when it comes to racist, fascist, homophobic entities, what we are NOT going to do is use weight/fatness as a lazy insult when there is plenty of other material to work with. Being fat is not a moral failing. Being unscrupulous piece of shit is.
