Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

Trump cut off 14% of Mass. SNAP recipients from the program. Nationwide, 1.5 million children have been disqualified. SNAP recipients rely on the program to put food on the table. I was one of them. Real families face the consequences of the White House’s political agenda. wapo.st/4fRVcd4

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

Delphiniums are most accommodating plants. They will grow in almost any kind of soil, light or heavy and they will do their best for us; somehow or other, but they do respond to good treatment. It is not a question of ‘feed the brute’ but ‘feed the Beauty’

Should you wish to increase your stock, this month or next is a good time to do it. The old plants can now be lifted and carefully separated into bits with strong roots and young growth. I mean young green growth a couple of inches high. #gardening

Americans are stranded abroad — we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to safely get them home. The federal government must immediately provide clear evacuation guidance and plans to leave the region. I’m calling on the State Department to take action now.

Governor JB Pritzker pressed the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Mora Namdar to take immediate federal action to protect Americans stranded in the Middle East following recent U.S. military strikes and responses.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
