Just a lover of democracy, trying to make my voice heard in a very red state.
The outdoors brings me joy and peace, and I try to spend as much time out there as possible. 🌳
I like dogs more than most people 🐕

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:
1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.
The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.
Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.
$196 billion for three men in 99 days.
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

If you are a member of Congress, and are not actively working towards ending the madness that is currently happening, you have broken your oath to the constitution and should be removed by your constituents that you swore to represent.
