If members of Congress are struggling to feed their families on their $174k a year salary maybe they should consider cheap cut meats like liver or more affordable meals like a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing.
@upshine3 In a way they prescreen. teachers will strongly suggest to parents that certain kids should be tested, but the school doesn't do the testing.
This is GLORIOUS

This is how you go out, @StephenAtHome! 😂

🧵 Hat Pins: A Story of Patriarchy
In the early 1900s, women were in public more than they used to be. They had new public ways of getting around, like bicycles and trolleys. They had new places to go, like department stores and cafes. And they had more exposure to men they
“Do not lose sight of the fact that Trump spent decades sexually assaulting with impunity and was rewarded for his crimes with television contracts and a supplicant press, while a coterie of billionaires lined up to put money into his greasy little hands.
Do you believe for a minute that the concept of due diligence was a foreign one to the lawyers at NBC when they drew up a multimillion dollar contract for a man who had been in the tabloids for literally decades - and who the New South Wales government had refused to allow to open a casino in Sydney’s Darling Harbor in 1987 due to his extensive Mob ties?
The Australian police cited Trump’s Atlantic City casinos as evidence of organized crime associations and advised the government it would be dangerous to do business with the consortium Donald had formed.
Or do you think the chance to make some Mark Burnett bucks with the bankrupt pretend-billionaire married to the former adult escort and his odious unqualified children was enough to make them look the other way? There was certainly ample evidence of Trump’s misdeeds and malfeasance by 2003 when ‘Apprentice’ was green lit.
Do you think Jeff Zucker, then president of NBC Entertainment and the folks in the C-Suite at 30 Rock were unaware of Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to Donald Trump? How about when Zucker left to run CNN where he completely ignored Trump’s ignoble past in the 2016 election, choosing instead to focus on the ‘ratings gold’ he has always known Trump to deliver.
It was a business to these folks, and it still is, while our democracy crumbles before our very eyes.
On top of this - witnessing our backsliding into a cesspool of division and the cult-like embrace of POTUS’s solipsistic dogma, a small but very powerful handful of people entrusted to serve our nation are giving into their pecuniary desires, instead of living up to their responsibilities.
What we have seen over the last year and a half is the apex of America’s greed, an orgy of overindulgence consummated by a chosen few.” https://t.co/NbxPp4Yd2m
@GeoRebekah The law has an exception for the life of the mother yet Amber died anyway. Exceptions aren't good enough. Anti-abortion laws put women's lives in danger.
@gigi_Mac13420@Angry_Staffer Not quite. People blaming Jewish people who are not Netanyahu for everything that Netanyahu has done is the cause of the rise of antisemitism
