It wouldn’t be Christmas if I wasn’t working on a new romance. I love the scent of pine, cinnamon and twinkle lights. Stay tuned. More details coming soon. This year my story is a bit different, but I can promise you it’s full of the holiday spirit! #romancelandia

"We're one of the richest countries in the world. We have billions of dollars for ICE. Billions of dollars for Israel. Yet Israel has free healthcare. So why is it America First to subsidize free healthcare for other countries while Americans don't get healthcare?"

When Aime contacted me to be on her podcast, A Time to Thrill, I thought it was one of those scammy AI emails inviting me to be at a Book Club meeting in Kathmandu. I was thrilled and delighted to find out it was indeed the author, who I’ve long admired, calling for a chat. aimeaustin.com/podcast/

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment, fascist collaborators. 👍

Republicans are actual evil, but this will never improve until people stop acting surprised every time they do this and start recognizing that Democrats aren't your friends.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

You CANNOT spend FSA money on health care premiums, and if you’re self-employed or unemployed you don’t even have a fucking FSA.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

I am old enough to remember how alarmed we all were when footage of GWB during the 9-11 showed him freezing up, and then continued to read a children's book to a classroom.

He doesn't know what to do, if someone fails to wind up his key and push him in the proper direction.

#amquerying again. A mystery written for readers who are nostalgic for Murder, She Wrote shenanigans. Moms who sip Diet Coke and eat popcorn at the movies while living in the cozy on-screen world created by Nancy Meyers. And Coastal grandmas who live to fight the patriarchy.
