Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thune has the votes to override a veto if he needed to so that TSA, etc., could be funded. The GOP too cowardly to do it.

The GOP cut food stamps for veterans and the homeless, then ended hunger data so you could not see who they starved. That is not policy. It is calculated harm. #WhoVoted4This #GOPCruelty #GOPWarOnAmericans

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

They’re lying because they want you to support them cutting your healthcare, and they want you to blame immigrants. - undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible for Medicaid or the ACA - 700 rural hospitals will close - Health insurance premiums will double, or more - 15 million will lose coverage

By shutting down CIGIE (the government's inspector general watchdog) the Trump administration is continuing its efforts to get rid of as many mechanisms of accountability as possible.

I grew up in rural South Carolina with a single mom who worked multiple jobs. At times, we relied on Medicaid and SNAP—like so many others. My heart breaks for those now wondering if that help will still be there. Imagine having all that power and choosing to make people’s lives worse. Shameful.

When you lose your healthcare… your loved one’s nursing home closes… your local hospital is understaffed… your taxes go up… food insecurity sets in… Take solace in the fact that Trump and his oligarchs got richer because of their Bullshit Billionaires Bill.

Jen Psaki and Senator Murphy are right - Elon's criticism of the "we're all going to die" bill IS NOT because he suddenly feels bad for cutting services that working people have paid into for years. It's because his cut of the grift isn't as much as he wanted. Elon cares about himself only.
