Every American—esp business owners—should be worried about cuts to Medicaid. They hurt the most vulnerable and will drive up hospital and insurance costs exponentially. My company proudly provides good insurance as a benefit to employees. I’m preparing for a 30%+ hike to premiums next year.

Ron DeSantis wants to loosen Florida's child labor laws to make up for the loss of migrant workers, by letting children as young as 14 work overnight shifts. This George Carlin quote explains why R's want to end public education and reinstate child labor. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

This is what is needed in the current times. I hope other outlets will follow suit and advertisers who care about maintaining the sanctity and sanity of the U.S. place media based on those values.

Before today, I was never ashamed to be an American. We should be so lucky to have a leader with half as much courage as President Zelenskyy. I hope all of western Europe, Canada, and Mexico rallies around them against Russia and…us. Talk about being on the wrong side of history.

Make no mistake about it: all of this is a free pass for this administration’s supporters to use force to protect their president with righteousness and a belief they are on the right side of history. Spoiler: they are not.

I don’t understand how the party that was once defined by rule of law has become a group of stooges allowing an idiot and his billionaire tear the country down to nothing in an illegal coup. How are all of them okay with this? Don’t they see that even the leopards will eventually come for them?

Not that the world needs more middle aged white woman discourse but…I just want to say that I don’t know any of Kendrick Lamar’s work but that Super Bowl show was fantastic: the music, the message, the imagery. I now want to dig into his work. I see why he won a Pulitzer among his many accolades.
