I am living my life to its fullest; learning and unlearning everyday. I believe love is love. Authenticity and integration between one’s words and actions tells me everything I need to know about if I want you in my life.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Feeling "insulted and confused" is the point. I highly recommend folks revisit some of the secret speeches and recorded conversations with Russ Vought from a few months ago.

The catch-22 is that states try to cap premiums to protect their residents. When they do so, they distort the economics that have changed as a result of climate change, leading to them no longer offering coverage.

This is an area the Dems can own by focusing on insurance destruction and inflation
So insurers talk publicly about the cost of climate change, the cost to them, and ultimately their customers; while our government will not. The customers of our government are its citizens. They deserve and should demand to be informed first and then protected.

In the name of fighting "DEI," Trump's spending freeze brought us to the brink of disaster yesterday.

He's tapping into culture wars while his billionaire buddies loot the government and gut programs that help millions.

His "war on woke" is a war on the American people.
Clearly illegal
This isn’t about cutting the size of government. It’s about further concentrating power in Trump’s hands.

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
