Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Remembering singer, songwriter Glenn Frey who was born on this day in 1948. Co-written by Frey and Jackson Browne, “Take It Easy” was the Eagles’ debut single. And it still sounds good after all these years. 🎶🎸🎵💙 #music #musicSky #70smusic #TheEagles #classicrock youtube.com/watch?v=5igD...

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

A warm thank you from your Gen X sisters… 💙💙💙💙

A November sunrise. There is much to be grateful for this morning. 💙☀️ #nature #photography #naturephotography #river #sunrise

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Congratulations to Abigail Spanberger, Virginia’s first female governor!!! 💙💙💙💙💙

Good morning!

BREAKING: In a 51-42 vote, the Virginia House advances a measure proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map until 2030 “in response to actions taken by another state.”

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

In 1975, 50 years ago this week, #BruceSpringsteen appeared on both the covers of Newsweek and Time. Thanks to my Dad who kept old magazines, I claimed this issue in the 80s when I discovered Bruce and still have it. And after 50 years, Bruce is still #TheBoss! #music #rock #70srock #classicrock

More relevant than ever… 🎃🎃🎃

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

There is plenty of $$$ for a ballroom, Argentina, Kristi Noem’s jets, and ICE recruits, but no money for SNAP recipients…this old meme rings truer today than ever before. There are NO good Republicans. Vote them out! #resist #protest #feedthepoor #feedthehungry #taxtherich #SNAP

FYI. I think they refer to it as “voting with your feet.” 💙

I was lucky to grow up in an age when musicians lent their talent to social and political causes. “Sun City” by Artists United Against Apartheid was released on this date in 1985. See how many 80s artists you recognize in the video. #music #Blueskymusic #80smusic youtube.com/watch?v=4BIv...

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

I consider myself a pretty empathetic person, but I have no sympathy for those who voted for this…let them suffer the consequences and absolutely do not give them a taxpayer bailout!
