Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

Schumer is jealous of all the positive attention Cory Booker is getting for his nearly day-long filibuster 💀 If you really care about this country Schumer you’ll step down & let a Democrat step up who is willing to meet the moment.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Grietje Postma (1961) is a Dutch artist. Using a single block carved in stages, she creates landscapes that evoke emotion rather than depict specific places. Her work features subtle, layered colors and simple, linear forms like branches and grass, blending surreal light with a contemplative mood.

Vermont showed up—protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location. Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red state—or better yet, Russia!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.
