Work requirements are the pure condensation of what every American should hate about incompetent right wing policy. They make government work worse and make peole’s lives harder just so Republicans can drive their hateful and condescending bullshit.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Congrats.
So many good days in my life and this one was top level. Congrats to my oldest, Louie, for this big step into the future.

Republicans are right now in the process of making sure that kids like this don't have the medical care they need to survive-- all to offset a tax cut for people like Trump and Musk. But sure, party of family values. Got it.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"
