Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

“Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” O’Malley said. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.”

Don’t fall for Elon Musk’s smoke screen.
What he doesn’t want you to know is that there’s a fix to extend Social Security’s solvency: end the tax cap.
Billionaires like him reach the cap on New Year’s Day. Let them contribute all year long like the rest of us. Problem solved.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

TN just passed legislation that makes it a felony for any elected official to vote for legislation the GOP doesn’t like (unconstitutional AF).
But wait, there’s more. They are now requiring all undocumented immigrants to carry specialized ID for easy targeting, like a yellow star on their clothes.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.
There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
