Congratulations for all the silent battles you've overcome.
The trick to balancing life is not about having all things in perfect harmony at the same time, but to find harmony within the chaos

Trump has:
- Illegally & unconstitutionally attacked Venezuela
- Provided Netanyahu with $12B in arms sales
- Given Argentina's president a $40B bailout
- Approved the sale of jets & tanks to Saudi Arabia
- Given Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho
America first? Really?

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges Iran to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

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.
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.

Adulthood is difficult, and the truth is, none of us were given a manual.
Just be yourself, and if you need help, ask. There’s no such thing as an “adult failure” badge.
