If I make it from scratch, is it not real food?

The Trump administration is now seeking to generate leverage against election officials by threatening them with criminal prosecution. We know where this ends.

Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Love when my gpt is so supportive and positive. Though I feel like it pours it on thick at times.

"My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier. That's what I want to be. A peacemaker and a unifier."

Wow, not really sure where to start with that.

Maybe just, ew.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

The top .1% stops paying into social security by January 19th.

Scrapping the cap would generate up to $388 billion per year and keep Social Security solvent.

Social Security is only being depleted because we refuse to make people pay their fair share.

Dozens of heavily armed ICE agents swarm popular L.A. County swap meet With a Department of Homeland Security helicopter circling, several dozens of heavily armed, masked ICE agents dressed in military tactical gear raided one of the most popular swaps meets in Southe…

Helicopters.

Armed troops wearing masks.

All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests.

DHS and ICE are out of control.

State & Federal Charges In Minnesota Around 11 p.m.

When the Trump assassination attempts happened, Democrats were among the first to call out the political violence. But now, that seems to only run one way. That’s how badly Trump has damaged the soul of the Republican Party. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It's official: The White House wants to cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ suicide and crisis hotline for kids.

Make no mistake: this cruelty could cost young lives.

We need to keep fighting back.

Southern Baptists Call to Overturn Supreme Court Ruling on Same-Sex Marriage The nation’s largest Protestant denomination was motivated by conservative Christians’ success in reversing Roe v. Wade.

β€œSouthern Baptists voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to call for the overturning of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, with strategists citing the successful effort that overturned the right to legal abortions as a possible blueprint for the new fight.”

There’s a growing list of things that worry me but almost always on top is a lack of trust. People don’t know who to listen to.

Leaders, elected officials, companies, neighbors, media all have different stories which make it impossible for the average person to fully believe and trust anyone.

Hmmm, will they ever actually call out the bs? Maybe get back to their roots in…journalism?

My family just spent 4 days in nyc, rode the subway everywhere. All over Manhattan. My teen daughter and I even took it back to our hotel across town after a show. Not once did any of us feel frightened or even uncomfortable. Just real people trying to get on with their life.

Will they actually do the diligence to determine when a widow is receiving benefits from their deceased spouse?

I appreciate the spice in this year's super bowl ads. Harrison Ford driving a Jeep, David Beckham Ben Affleck famous. We're all feeling spicy these days.

I wonder if it's similar to Sambuca which typically has three espresso beans? An even number would bring bad luck.
