72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

If you're naked on the front porch and the neighbors can't see you, it's rural. If you're naked and the neighbors call the cops, it's suburban. If you're naked and the neighbors ignore you, it's urban. If you're naked on the front porch and your neighbor is also naked, it's Florida.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

YES! We have an amicus appointed by the judge in the case to dismiss the charges against Eric Adams. Basically, if neither party opposes, the court appoints someone to fight the other side. They did this in the Flynn case as well.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
