I am so thankful that the Kroger - Albertsons merger fell through. I am incredibly thankful for Washington AG Bob Ferguson suing to block it in WA and the FTC following his lead. In my area, we would have been left with no standard grocery store competition. Huge victory for us consumers!!

I’m growing increasingly furious at the various articles showcasing the number of industries dependent on undocumented immigrants as workers in our country. We will employ them, withhold taxes from them, and allow them to live under constant threat of deportation. We do nothing to fix the issue.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress worried that Gabbard might leak to Assad regime
When she arrived in Congress, Tulsi Gabbard was seen as a rising Democratic star. But over time, her views on Russia and Syria shocked, puzzled and alarmed her colleagues.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

I read “Poverty, by America” by Matthew Desmond earlier this year. A few things really stuck with me in that book, but one related to housing. He discussed NIMBYism quite a bit & how vocal that crowd is when it comes to zoning. I’m trying to be more vocal in my support for better zoning options.

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime. CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

If you as a parent do not want your child to read about something, that is your job as a parent to oversee their reading. It should absolutely not affect what children who are not yours are reading.

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

One thing that gives me hope about the next administration is that Trump and the Republicans are greedy MFs who want the stock market to soar. They’ll want to enact their horrible policies like tariffs & mass deportations, but that will tank the US economy. The market will be our guardrail.

One of the worst things to happen to our country was the creation of 24/7 news channels that needed to operate for profit. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. The networks needed to create content to fill all of that time each day. The loss of real news and faux journalism became rampant.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Gaetz withdrawing from DOJ nomination is good. He’s also out as a Rep. The optimist in me wants him to fade away into the background, never to be heard from again. The realist in me knows he’ll have his own podcast/talkshow/spotlight soon enough. Sigh.

When I feel the most overwhelmed by what is happening in our national politics, I take a deep breath & think about what I can do to help people who need it. I may not be able to make a difference on a national level, but locally I can volunteer with orgs that need people. Focus where you can.

This party has predicated so much of its identity on its supposed eagerness to root out pedophiles in government… and now these Republicans are poised to bury a report into Matt Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor. The GOP is where any semblance of longstanding principles go to die.
