A blue dot in a red state just fighting to survive. Significantly beyond middle age but refusing to grow up. Interests in politics and the fools who voted us into this destruction.
Corey Booker and John Ossof voted FOR trump’s crypto bill. I keep saying it. They are opportunists. They are not Democrats.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Sure, Trump is tanking the economy, devaluing the dollar, deindustrializing America, adding trillions to the national debt, and pushing our allies straight into China’s arms...

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
