We just adopted our 19th sanctions package.

It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others.

The EU is curbing Russian diplomats’ movements to counter the attempts of destabilisation.

It is increasingly harder for Putin to fund this war.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's time to acknowledge reality:
 
Our health system is broken. It's time to guarantee good-quality care to every man, woman & child in this country.
 
Our campaign finance system is broken. It's time to get rid of Citizens United and publicly fund elections.
 
Let’s do it.

House Republicans stopped revising their legislative calendar back in July. So I updated it for them. Since July 4, the House has conducted 20 days of business in 16 weeks. Oct. 27-30 remains TBD.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

So true. A lifelong pickpocket is all he's ever been.

And a vengeful, petty tyrant, of course.
Trump has decimated funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and crucial agencies like FEMA and the CFPB.

Now, he's demanding his cronies at DOJ give him a ludicrous $230M in taxpayer funds as "compensation" for past investigations.

He's picking your pockets to line his own.

Oh good, I'm happy to hear that! Hopefully he will act kindly to everyone.
I wondered if you might be, so I mentioned it... It's a superb shared pond of people here, crossing all borders. You all help me keep the faith in humanity so much. Really lovely people here. I've never experienced social media like this before. It's pretty cool 😎
Yes, she is so great at giving perspective. I listen and read her too, although sometimes I have to play catch up with it. Saving them up gives more hours of her goodness. Great idea for long drives. On bad days, I find she helps me feel a lot better. 👭🏻
Great article.

"To rediscover native [Australian] food is to acknowledge that this continent has always contained abundance, beauty and pleasure of its own. The act of tasting becomes a small act of reconciliation—not with guilt, but with gratitude and with joy for what was here all along."
Native ingredients reveal a story of abundance long obscured by colonial tastes and it’s time Australia truly savoured it.

Thank you so much 🤗 I am so glad I found you here too. Life has taught me to reach for the good/hope in dark times; and to work to remain open. I had a lovely German psych mentor who helped support and teach me to navigate it as well. Like a nurturing mother figure when I no longer had my own 🤗
