As someone who has been denied necessary healthcare bc of lack of ins, I have overwhelming empathy for anyone facing the GOP Medicaid cuts. If you are a Medicaid recipient that voted for GOP: I don't understand being willing to give up your healthcare to enrich (m/b)illionaires, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

My friend needed to pick up a prescription at Target. While we were there, I remembered I need chickpeas. She agreed we should stop by Food Lion instead of visiting the grocery section of Target. They. DON'T. Get. My. Money. MAGA can keep them in business. abc7chicago.com/post/target-...

Trump pardons Jan 6ers & Blagojevich. He renews the official veneration of Braxton Bragg and ends federal observance of MLK day. The GOP prove every day that they are criminal-loving racists.

We've been putting off a major purchase, so we went to Costco today. We had to park in the farthest rows of the lot. It took 32 min to get through the checkout line. Never thought a crazy-long checkout line would make me happy...

To hear Republicans talk about it, those who Trump just pardoned, who were convicted under the FACE Act, who were simply peaceful protesters prosecuted for their beliefs. Court documents show otherwise. +

Further evidence that predatory behavior is a resumé-builder for the GOP... It is absolutely despicable.

My husband 4mo ago: I may get a [federal] remote job in Chicago. Me: No. You don't want to do that. T & co are going to end remote work wherever they can. [Last night] Him: damn. You were right. Me: I wish I wasn't. It will be a while before we can move, but at least we aren't totally F-d.

I cannot watch these confirmation hearings. None of these jacklegs is qualified, yet they will be confirmed by spineless GOP. Support unions, voting rights, and healthcare access - including abortion. We will get through this out of sheer spite, if necessary.

I’ve thought a lot about this, given the topic substantial consideration, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the all-time best TV show theme song belongs to The Golden Girls.

Yesterday, President Biden finalized a rule to remove medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans. The number of Americans with medical debt on their credit reports will be zero — down from 46 million right before he took office. Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

Tune out the noise. We knew Zuck & Bezos were chumps. We knew MTG was a bimbo. We knew Trump was a mess. Tune out the Gulf, Greenland, and Panama. Focus on SocSec, Medicare, & taxes. They are making waves to muddy the water & slip through a "one big, beautiful bill." www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I am distracting myself with some home improvement projects and the SNL YouTube channel playing in the background. I missed the live Ayo Edebiri show, but she NAILED it. So far, 3 skits have come up and she did a great job! The DARE skit with Mikey Day was particularly hilarious.

Missouri GOP is actively looking for loopholes to thwart the will of Missouri voters. Hopefully, people will retain the right to control their own medical decisions, but I'm not optimistic. Good luck, MO! #AbortionIsHealthcare

Do you know the Herzog Foundation? They represent a Missouri family worth close to a billion dollars. They send taxpayer money to private religious schools and they don’t like anyone who stands up to them. Not one single dime of taxpayer money should go to private religious schools.

Trump isn't even in office yet, and he was already a danger to our livelihood during the holiday season. This is going to be a LONG 4 yrs. F U to anyone who voted for the GOP and their preternatural tendency toward chaos and cruelty. #RepublicansCantGovern
