The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

"Democrats have been too attached to a status quo that has been failing us for a long time," @petebuttigieg.bsky.social told @steveinskeep.bsky.social this morning.

We agree. Voters want to see change and policies that support them.

Why on earth would any American support an armed military in our streets?

It would be good to hear from them. What words can be said that don't put Nation Guard people in serious jeopardy?

Reagan passed this law which prevents any human being from bleeding out in the street because he/she has no health insurance. I don't want to live near anyone who has a problem with emergency medical care.
