Just one lifetime ago in the United States, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, keep their wives at home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?
Please listen to the experts. Vaccines are not bad. They do not cause leukemia. They do not cause autism. There are studies by the expert professionals who have studied this for years that prove this!
If you have never seen this 2013 speech from President Obama on immigration, it’s worth a watch: “A lot of folks forget that most of us used to be them. It’s really important for us to remember our history. Unless you’re one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from some place else. Somebody brought you”
36 years ago this week, the world lost Gilda Radner.
I often think of Steve Martin's monologue the day she passed. Holding back tears, and at the end, releasing the audience to let them know it's okay to laugh.
With two inches of pollen having fallen overnight, we woke up to a Saffron Sunday. Achoo-se to clear your windshield before driving for best visibility.
P.S. No word on whether schools are delayed on Monday. 🤧
Pritzker: The root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed—a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans, mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay, lesbian, and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and the minorities—once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends—
After that, when the problems we started with are still there, staring us in the face…
What comes next?
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.
Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I am asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
*Congressional Reform Act of 2019*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 7/1/19. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term's), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.
5 pm update — while it seems our advocacy worked and the order is rescinded, the Trump team is spewing misleading guidance every half hour. The Trump agenda is ruling with confusion and chaos.
.@RepMTG , yelling “PROMISES MADE! PROMISES KEPT!” like Trump personally parachuted into North Carolina to save the day. Hate to break it to you, but the Army Corps of Engineers has already been on the ground, cleaning up after Hurricane Helene for months. You know who “activated” them? Biden’s administration, last year.
This isn’t Trump riding in on a white horse; it’s just routine disaster response. The Corps doesn’t wait for a new president to step in, they’ve been at it since October 2024, clearing debris and getting $860 million in federal aid where it’s needed. But sure, go ahead and slap Trump’s name on work he didn’t do.
Marjorie, this isn’t “promises kept.” It’s recycled nonsense to take credit for a win, and the people in Western North Carolina deserve better than being props for your nonsense tweets.
.@RepMTG Are you kidding me right now? Your ignorant comment is like setting fire to a hospital because you don’t like the color of the walls. Claiming people are being vaccinated under sedation without consent? Harmful nonsense. There’s no credible evidence for it, none. It’s a conspiracy cooked up for clicks and outrage.
First, let’s talk facts. Vaccines aren’t administered like surprise party favors. Medical ethics require informed consent, always. This isn’t up for debate, it’s law. Any healthcare worker doing otherwise would be facing lawsuits, losing their license, and making headlines. Yet, the only headlines here are the ones Greene and her cronies fabricate to fuel their misinformation machine.
And the damage? It’s real. This kind of nonsense undermines trust in the medical system, leaving people scared to get the care they need. It’s already tough enough fighting vaccine hesitancy; now we have elected officials amplifying baseless claims that make it worse. Who pays the price? Regular folks, people who believe you, when diseases that should’ve been stopped make a comeback.
Oh, and let’s not ignore the audacity. Greene says victims of this imaginary scenario should get “BIG payments.” But the real lawsuits should be aimed at her, for the harm her words do to public health and the chaos she spreads with zero accountability to seek attention.
If there’s a sickness here, it’s not in the medical system. It’s in people like Greene, who peddle fear and lies instead of solutions. Time to call it what it is: reckless, ignorant, and dangerous. You are not fit to be in the House.
