Yikes! Looks like Stepford wives.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Okay so here’s a prime example of folks getting the #ElectionDay runaround.
My polling place got changed at the last minute. BUT they are required to tell you where your new place is!
Give them any form of ID and they should hand you something like this. Do not let them turn you away!

Trump, Hegseth, and senior military commanders murdered 3 more people last night and the homicides near 100 people, and they expect you to take their word for it that they were transporting drugs and accept it. They murder whoever they want whenever they want.

Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress.
Got 3 minutes? This habit may help boost hope and reduce stress

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Before October ends, it’s worth reminding folks of the importance of breast cancer screening. Mammograms are recommended for 👻🐝 >40 and folks of all ages with higher risk of breast cancer. Everyone (even you, men!) should do self-examinations ~1x per month.
