The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Whenever lawmakers start carving up benefit programs, women raising children alone are always the first to feel the pain.
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” follows in that grim tradition.

Always look for the helpers.
If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble!
