A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
A blue wave will not happen unless you personally make it happen. Do not trust the polls. Do not believe other people will do it for you. Go vote and encourage everyone you know to do the same.
Trump has been much more successful than we give him credit for. Yes, as an American President, he is an ABYSMAL failure, but as a self-dealing criminal & a Russian asset, he has wildly enriched himself & brought America to its knees on every front.
🔥 SEAN PENN: “VP J.D. Vance — you f*cking idiot… there’s one criminal in this 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 war (Putin), who btw is in an active war against you and me… an appetite for convenience and comfort leads to complicity and cowardice.”
The folks who want flock cameras in your neighborhood, the folks who wanna read your emails without a warrant, the folks who say, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, why do you wanna hide it?” have withheld 3 million Epstein files and redacted the rest.
Most people don’t really understand what evil is until they’ve been victimized by a malignant narcissist.
Because what people think is evil, what normal compassionate people perceive as evil is not nearly as bad as what evil really looks like. They are so much worse than most people are prepared to believe and ironically, that’s how they get away with most of their abuse
Today is Day 598 of the Republican majority in the House and Senate refusing to pass a bill to give $5,000 checks to every American while their party also controls the presidency.
NEW: On behalf of the Democratic Party we have filed in the U.S. Supreme Court to protect mail-in voting from the unprecedented effort by the Trump administration to subvert it.
JUST IN: Trump’s proposed stay-at-home parent benefit would reportedly require recipients to be married & have one spouse working 35+ hours a week, with benefits averaging around $9,000 per child.
ALT "CPTSD survivors often cannot cry when something is actually sad. But they will cry without warning at a commercial, a stranger's kindness, an animal being gentle with a child. The tear ducts are not broken. They just learned that crying at the real thing was too dangerous. So the grief rerouted. It comes out sideways, through whatever crack feels safe enough, because the actual door has been locked from the inside for a very long time."

Narcissists don’t just envy you — they become obsessed with you.
And that obsession is a problem for them, because it’s visible. People can sense when someone’s fixation on another person crosses a line. So the narcissist has to reframe it.
They can’t say “I resent this person because they have something I want.”
So instead they say: “This person is dangerous. You should be afraid of them.”
They take their own hatred — rooted entirely in envy — and repackage it as a warning. Suddenly their obsessive targeting looks like concern. Their aggression looks like self-defense. Their smear campaign looks like people just… finding out the truth.
What they’re really doing is recruiting. They need other people to fear their target because their own feelings of resentment and hatred need external validation. If they can make you afraid of the person they envy, then their obsession feels justified. Their attack feels righteous.
The target didn’t do anything. They just existed in a way the narcissist couldn’t tolerate.
Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
