I'm so very done with the news media in this country
why did you even get into reporting as a career if you're just going to parrot those in power and willfully ignore those that aren't?

men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

This President commits at least one impeachable offense daily…
You could literally present a new charge every morning to justify why he should be impeached but you won’t even attempt it…
At the very least it would put a spotlight on all the shit he is doing that should see him removed from office…

THIS is what @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty just voted to do to you. A policy choice.

Y’all I’m sorry the fact that Mark Cuban’s Cost-Plus-Drugs can exist at all is proof that the system is rotten.
The entire concept makes no sense if you take the insurance company’s word for what they’re doing.

Congress really out here proving bipartisan unity is possible—so long as the shared goal is letting Americans’ health-care subsidies expire.
Must be nice to govern from a world where premiums, deductibles, and accountability don’t apply to you.

There is no non profit agency that deserves to be dismantled more than the Heritage Foundation. Project 2025 is a treasonous manifesto, every author deserves to go to prison, and the Heritage Foundation as a whole should at minimum lose their non profit status and preferably shut down in full.

The Senate Democrats should be so proud they were able to get that healthcare vote that they shutdown for. It really seemed to make healthcare costs more affordable. Meanwhile, I won’t be able to afford my premiums next year.
