When I make a purchase I calculate how many hours I need to work for it. Last night I spent 2.25 hrs 🥲 on a teledoc visit & meds. Healthcare shouldn't be that expensive

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland
When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Hegseth issued an illegal Caribbean strike order: “Kill them all.”
SEAL Team 6 hit the boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage.
Commanders then ordered a second strike to finish them off.
Killing survivors is blatantly illegal.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.
Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.
We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.
