So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

I just want Trump to go away. Him and all his disgusting allies. I don't ever want to hear all those people's names again.

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash.

In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking.

In other words he wants to increase our deficit by $650 BILLION.

I did a quick background search on Judge Wolf. His credentials are impeccable. I’ll definitely be watching him closely to see if he’s able to accomplish anything against The Felon

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

I *wish* I never had to use the system! Healthy would be my first choice in life. Sadly, apparently only 40% of people fall into that category.
Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

When your adorable 1st year piano student wants a Christmas piece about unicorns, you write her one. "Santa's unicorns are standing by just in case the reindeer can't fly." (Photo: public domain, by Crimson Rose) I'll list this one on Sheet Music Direct along with others I've written for students.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.

“There should be a #law.”

I have a bunch of things I’m really angry about right now, but being a single mom sole provider whose family health insurance premium is about to double in six weeks is very close to the top of the list.
