Attorney. Former prosecutor. Mom. Grandma. Fur baby mom. Lifelong Dem. Fled the other place when asshat took control. So glad to see so many familiar faces here. I will need this community to survive the next four years.

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.
They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

At least Trump is coming back to DC early from his golf trip to Palm Beach so he can attend a football game while pressuring them to name the stadium after him.
He’s always working hard to improve our lives.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to.
What a clusterfuck.

It’s pretty impressive how bad this bill is, honestly.
Gigawatts of projected energy shortage. Starving kids. Massive deficit increase.
But at least Trump’s rich friends get their tax break!

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections
That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan

A lot of folks didn’t learn this lesson during Trump’s first term, apparently:
Focus on what he does, not what he says.
He’s going to say a lot of things, but those things are meant to distract you from what he’s doing.
