Yes I realize there is a super long history of all those other representatives feeling compelled to set up a table with powerful, factual messages outside the Speaker's office, but still...

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Exactly--you may not be able to feed your family a Thanksgiving dinner, but the good news is weight loss drugs be more accessible.

There's something about the optics of "making a deal" to lower the cost of weight loss drug prices at the same moment you're starving your own citizens.
Trump announces deals with Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk to slash weight loss drug prices, offer some Medicare coverage
The deals are among the most politically significant announcements to date in the Trump administration's efforts to rein in high U.S. drug costs.

(1/2) Kim Jung Un was right!
Trump is a DOTARD!
If you listen to him ramble about who he pardons, he doesn't know who they are nor why he did it.
If you're a buddy of his (i.e. Scott Adams, racist creator of Dilbert) and needs to jump a queue for medical care, he'll do it because...well...b/c

Obviously, some days are easier than others.
I just wonder how others cope on the more difficult days. How do you find your smile? I won't turn away from the news, I feel it's our duty to stay informed, but also take care of ourselves & find (& hold onto) balance and hope.
Any ideas to share?

Zohran Mamdani is so scary because he is planting the idea that you can tax billionaires and use the money to help people instead of debating what services to cut to pay for tax cuts. Which is literally why the US government is currently shut down.
He is destroying decades of political messaging.

I want to ask, "is anyone surprised?" but the fact is, this is so utterly beyond reprehensible. Of all groups not getting paid now, only the military is being (illegally) spared by Trump's buddy who has Epstein ties? Will it ever be less heinously surreal? open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
$130M Pentagon Donor Has Ties to Jeffrey Epstein
That's right. All roads lead to Epstein. Timothy Mellon is the heir to the Bank of New York Mellon, which was just sued by an Epstein survivor for funding Epstein's sex trafficking ring for years.

With the backlash reported here in Canada about the abrupt end of trade discussions, I am reminded of the inappropriate and super white DOL ads from the US. In the comments are examples from the last months of the Biden Administration.
