As a constituent, I demand an explanation.

You represent US, not the billionaire class.

[Melanie @partnersinfire]

Hey @RepMcCaul how dare you vote against your constituent's interests on this horrendous budget bill.

How dare you vote to increase the deficient to give massive handouts to the wealthy while decreasing benefits for the people in your district.

I'm looking for 1-2 Google USERS (not publishers - sorry) to talk about how search results have changed over the past few years.

Tell me whether you're happier with the results, hate them, and how it's forced you to change your search habits.

"We need to ask questions about how we're going to give low-income kids who come from a broken home access to a loving home."

Ummm---wat?

Is he saying he wants to take children away from low-income parents?

Low income doesn't mean "not loving"

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

JD Vance has had the same message for years, long before he became a US Senator.

This TED Talk was filmed 8 years ago where Vance discussed the social issues plaguing America.

"We need to ask questions about how we're going to give low-income kids who come from a broken home access to a loving home."

"We need to ask questions about how we're going to teach low-income parents how to better interact with their children, with their partners."

"We need to ask questions about how we give social capital, mentorship to low-income kids who don't have it."

"We need to think about how we teach working-class children about not just hard skills, like reading, mathematics, but also soft skills, like conflict resolution and financial management."

Let's say everything gets as bad as we fear... maybe worse.

How much time do we have to leave the US?
