Lying will not "get you nowhere." Lying definitely gets one on a trajectory toward "somewhere," but the liar's map only shows the first leg of the trip; dark destination hidden behind a promise of gain.

The House did the right thing by extending ACA subsidies and stopping health care costs from exploding for 20 million Americans. The Senate must pass it next.
Short-term relief matters — but long term, we must fix our broken health care system and move toward Medicare for All.

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

Weird how many cross-wearing republicans in the US seem to be unaware of this passage of Scripture...?
Pr 6:16-19
"7 things that are an abomination to God: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

i'm sick to death of this Republican vs Democrat narrative. Democracy, the very foundations of our identity as the United States of America, being threatened. This is not a partisan problem. Please Democrats stop talking about yourselves and be champions for us, for America, for Democracy.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
