Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣
Good to know. (you know what to do!)

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Trump is going after PBS, NPR, and CBS—using the FCC to punish outlets he doesn’t like. This isn’t just an attack on the press, it’s an attack on public access to truth.

Mom (94) has dementia. Her $7000/mth Memory Care is paid three ways; social security, federal employee retirement, and Medicaid.
She may be ready for hospice, paid by Medicare.
I am frightened for her future Care with this administration.

This was an important day for the Democratic Party.
Will they rise to the moment?
Today, it feels like they finally began to find their voice, break through the Trump noise, and discover how to be the vocal opposition.
More of this!

Posted about this on FB, and now on Bluesky;
My mom just turned 93, she is late stage 6 dementia and in memory care that costs $7000 a month - A MONTH.
This is paid in part by Medicaid, her Social Security, and her Federal employee retirement.
She EARNED it. It's not entitlement. I am scared.
