I’m afraid that if I keep looking at the news it’s going kill me but I'm afraid that if I stop looking at the news I’m going to die.

What if we released expectations of certain outcomes? Still put forth a process with an outcome in mind, but be prepared for and accept variations. Maybe this is nonsense. I feel like it almost means something tho

1/2 Counting active-duty, reserves, and contractors, some 3 million Americans are under direct/indirect authority of DOD. Every one of those 3 million—EVERY ONE—knows that if he or she had sent real-time info about combat operations on commercial platforms, their careers would be over. And worse.

One of the most embarrassing things a person can do is not own up to an obvious mistake. It’s very childish and makes me lose all respect for you. You look like a toddler that got very plainly caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

WATCH: Sen. Ossoff today convened an oversight session where Georgia women spoke out on their near-death experiences under Georgia abortion ban restrictions, including Avery Davis Bell. "I needed to be actively dying to receive a life-saving abortion," Davis Bell said.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

POSTED: The internet is not a giant debate club Nobody owes you space in their comments if they don’t want you there That is why moderation tools and the block button exists Yelling at someone who you disagree with online when you could otherwise just do anything else is weird

I got the code when I was supposed to. I got in the waiting room at 9:45. There were 1800 in front of me when the queue opened. Then it was my turn. Everything went right. And then the page refreshed to this. I have no words. Similar thing happened last time.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid: - Millions of children will lose their health care. - Funding for community health centers will dry up. - Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need. That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

DOGE closed 5 social security offices in GA a couple weeks ago. Now, they’re telling Georgia seniors they can't use the phone to claim benefits either. Let's call this what it is: An intentional attempt to stop folks from claiming benefits they've EARNED. I will fight this.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

The President's Deputy Treasury Secretary nominee told me that people on Medicaid should just be "self sufficient." I will not support a nominee who does not understand or care about the concerns of hard working Georgia families.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

They told us they were “preparing us for the real world” and they were. The real world treats you like a data point. You’re a vote to be secured. A demographic to be pandered to. At work, you’re a performance statistic to be improved. They devalued us from the beginning.

They aren’t a standardized test score. They aren’t a data point. They aren’t a graduation rate. They aren’t a school report card. They are children, and each one holds a story.

Not hard to understand what motivates Senate Democrats: they dislike controversy, they really enjoy being important, so faced with conflict they find the quickest route to making it go away so they can continue being important. And usually the easiest way to make a conflict go away is to lose it.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

People with glasses and contacts have to realize that we have a disability that just happens to be highly accommodated for in modern society and that accommodation is the only reason why poor eyesight is not considered a disability.

The entire conversation around government funding is Washington at its worst. I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that increases costs for Georgians, defunds care for servicemembers, and slashes investments in education and health care. I am voting NO on the partisan funding bill.

You don’t hate the people of a foreign country. Your governments don’t like each other. You and the people of that other country likely have many similarities. Your governments don’t want you to know that.

You can hate/not like something and still support everyone else who does. I hate birthdays and it's why I try to hide mine. I'll still celebrate others on theirs because I know it makes them happy. I think awards are dumb, but be happy for someone it's important to. The world isn't black & white.
