As a therapist (and child of a parent with AUD…and my own love/hate relationship), these results do not shock me.

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them.
How are people on both sides somehow not grasping this concept?!?

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Dear America,
IF this is true then it’s probably the only issue I’ll support RFK Jr. proposing. I’m all for reducing Big Pharma being in our faces all the time.

This is encouraging and yet I wonder if we can grab the wheel and steer the ship in time? If we haven’t hit the iceberg yet, it feels perilously close…STILL, I hold hope.
Donald Trump continues to fall in the polls, and so does his agenda. According to CNN’s Harry Enten, 2 months into his second term, Trump is already underwater in public approval.
