As a lifelong Kansas Citian I am a Chiefs fan no matter what. There was a Chiefs game the day before I was born, it is just part of me to root for them. After all the struggle years, I am thankful we went to five Superbowls. I remember the years when we were excited to win two games-in a row.

A troll on the Other Place asked why the ACA needed to be "fixed".
Here’s how Trump & the GOP tried to kill and sabotage the ACA—making it costlier. Now they want to let the tax credits expire too.

The events of this week: taking resources from those who need it, bragging about internment camps, "joking" about feeding people to alligators, people being cowards & liars. These are not things I want associated with the place I live. I'm tempted to put my Union Jack in my front window tomorrow.

Hearing so many of the Democratic Senators talk about how harmful the bill is to the red states, especially my state of KS, is a smart strategy. Shame Marshall & Moran won't do the right thing for their constituents. But that's what I've come to expect from them.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.
They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.
Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

10 years ago, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we must keep fighting for our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but I truly believe it will bend toward justice if we continue to do the work.

Here’s a thread to show how Republican tax cuts for the rich helped FedEx pay $0 in taxes, and did not translate to more investment, and why it’s “bullshit” that they are the party of fiscal responsibility and the working class👇🏽
