JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

This is another Outrageous thing the trump-GOP regime have done to our fellow Americans!!!: Trump eliminates funding for tribes to transition to clean energy

A tribe in Arizona planned to connect 600 homes to electricity. Then the funding was cut

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

When someone pours so much goodness into the world the world should pour out its prayers. Dolly Parton embodies kindness joy and love and I am asking all who care to join me in prayer for her strength and healing.

The cost. When we first went to the hospital they said it would be a minimum of 250 euros ($290). Now let me ask folks who made it this far through the thread what do you think everything I described would have cost at a U.S. hospital. I have no idea. $10,000? More? (6)

People will have fresh fruit and coffee in winter for breakfast, wash with soap, dress in clean cotton & linen, live in warm houses with clean water, eat meat every day, have access to sugar and painkillers whenever they want & STILL think "Nah. I would have been better off in the 14th century..."
