Me too. I'm running out of words as well. Just as soon as we cross off one adventure crossed, then another astounding administration "adventure" crosses our paths. *rolling eyes* hurt more and more these days - my eyes may soon roll to the back of my head!! :P

Brainhealth Concerns for the WH
A Press Secretary's job can't be easy. Remember the series House of Cards? Having the WH still standing after so many crafted lies, can catch up sooner or later.

Newsom is right. They aren’t playing pretty; we have to play fire with fire and pull out every wheelhouse of fight we have within us. Thank goodness firms like @aclu are trying to shut down the EO’s they wildly put out there. We need every civil rights attorney fighting tooth and nail to save…

Not just now, but a pattern that they established from day 1 of Round 2, and something that they were doing in Round 1 (but 1000x worse now because he’s in a revenge mode). We have got to flip every seat blue despite their efforts to gerrymander the red states. Newsom is right.

ICE claims masks protect agents. But protection without accountability is not protection at all—it is impunity. Masked men who refuse to identify themselves are not protecting the law. They are mocking it. www.newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/unmasking-...

We know that the TxGOP are playing low ball in order to get their rigged areas at the request of YKW and FL is aiming to do the same to bow down to ykw. What is the #gameplay for #Texans to fight? I know that there's limits that I can to help; just need some footing for my grounding.

Social Security is not a “Ponzi scheme” — it is a bedrock promise that we’ve made to one another as Americans for 90 years. We’ve got a lot of work to do to protect and strengthen Social Security in the days ahead, and I’m not backing down.

Every patient who goes untreated, every service eliminated, every program cut, is blood on the hands of Donald Trump and Republicans who voted to cut funding for health care in this country.

UMass Memorial Health slashes services as Medicaid cuts loom. It may be a sign of what’s to come in Mass. health care.
