A headline in Politico today: “GOP lawmakers expected to vote soon on slashing the insurance program for low-income people represent tens of millions reliant on it.” It’s hard to believe that the poorest people voted for this.

Let me remind you that our government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. Musk is supposed to be working for you and me and every other American. He’s not. He should be fired. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/fire-the-muskrat-now

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.
