Why am I soft in the middle?

Don't want to end up a cartoon

Hey so what if I said politicians shouldn't be able to make millions of dollars in office and that they should be subjected to earn the same minimum wage of their state?

Don’t sanewash this, media. The Trump White House forfeited benefit of the doubt a while ago. They pushed an awful, very Russia-friendly plan for Ukraine, and are now lying to save face.
You can tell because the plan aligns with their year-long efforts, and the current lies contradict each other.

Pretty obvious what happened
Team Trump, high on their own supply and sympathetic to Russia, thought they could make Ukraine surrender and declare Trump a glorious peacemaker.
Then they got out of their bubble into reality, embarrassingly flopped, and are now scrambling to lie trying to save face.

Just one of the reasons I think MTG is a liar. I will never trust her. Neither should you.
A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

I feel this deep frustration often. I see every day people fighting harder. I wish they would do something. Lot's of hand wringing.
The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

This persistent fatigue is taking a toll. I live on melatonin and ibuprofen/tylenol pm just to get a few hours sleep a night so that I can function. I know I am not alone. Yes, I take breaks from social media/news but I have to be aware of what is going on.

Linda McMahon does not have the power to dismantle the Department of Education. Only Congress does.
This is an illegal assault on our public school children. If this continues, millions of students, teachers, and families will pay the price. I’ll keep fighting back.

It doesn’t get more painfully clear than this.
By dismantling the Department of Education – during American Education Week – the Trump administration is demonstrating just how little they care about our kids and educators.

Trump continued his efforts to dismantle the Department of Education this week by moving two crucial offices into other federal agencies.
Why is he determined to gut education? It’s all part of his attack on not just what we do — but what we think. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=IY6HM-j-sSmjVW3_

Their goal is not complicated: This is a deliberate strategy to defund and privatize public education in America.
This is moving us in exactly the wrong direction.
I call on the Department of Education to immediately reverse course and do its job: strengthen our public schools, not dismantle them.

Exclusive: The Education Department plans to move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity.
Trump administration to announce dismantling of much of Education Dept.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.
