APOLOGIES in advance. I'm going to treat this like a personal account and I'm going to remove people I don't know by blocking. It's not that I don't like you. And if you want to be my friend and follow me just let me know.
I'm still on LinkedIn if you want to connect professionally.

South Carolina is trying YET AGAIN to pass a bill that will impose the death penalty or imprison women (life sentence) who lose their baby for any
Death penalty and life imprisonment for a miscarriage or abortion is pure hatred of women.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Also curious what the tantrum will be.
After No Kings Day 2 we lost part of the White House.

Uh. We might should set a guard on the Statue of Liberty.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

Repubs are leveraging the firing of government employees to get Dems to concede to their budget bill.
Dems want to protect your finances from an extreme rise in premiums (75%+) and prevent millions from losing healthcare.
The parties are not the same.

Heads up. Our healthcare is heading into leeches and mustard plaster territory.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
