Next time, let's vote for someone who has shared the same ups/downs in life as 99% of us and is not a lawbreaker, cheater, thief, fraud, con artist, woman hater or convicted sex assaulter who has never shopped, spent his own money, played w/kids, raised a dog or read a book.

Keep them barefoot and pregnant, unable to afford college and convinced by Trump that it's a waste of time and money anyway. Just keep producing more and more kids into a unstable, unhealthy and jobless society. Got it.

By tomorrow, he could owe us.
Enten: "Trump's net approval rating is at -15 -- the lowest it has been during his entire second term... the Democratic lead on the generic ballot has widened. Trump's political position has worsened. I don't think how you can look at both and conclude anything other than that Dems won the shutdown"

I love the NYT but must keep my English translator handy when reading heds like this:
Russia Strikes Ukraine and Signals Resistance to Amended Peace Plan
English translation: Today, Russia bombed Kyiv, killed 7, and incurred Romanian territory w/2 drones. That's bomb talk for signaling resistance.

This is a heartbreaking example of the toll of abortion bans and what happens when women are denied access to health care.

If elected, I would vote to codify Roe and restore a woman’s right to choose.
NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

tRump's regime is targeting college affordability by cutting financial aid and slowing cancellation of student debt from the Biden admin. If these changes continue, colleges will gradually enroll fewer students of color and fewer students from low-income families.

Trump’s Anti-Affordability Agenda Has a New Target: College
University of Iowa sociology professor Louise Seamster says that the administration’s changes to financial aid policies are going to make our colleges less racially and economically diverse.

Every adult in the US should be screaming over Trump's plan to devalue those who work in our educational system and within our stellar health/medical infrastructure. Give me one reason how that makes America great! Limiting women's ability to earn will wreck this country and they know it.

WashPost: For the first time in history, most American women ages 18 through 44 are not married, according to our analysis of the CPS ... So, if MAGA devalues them and the worth of their work, so they think facing poverty willl magically charm women into marriage and produce more kids? Dream on.
