Senators Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto YOU JUST GOT PLAYED. Are you happy now that you gave up on the health and well being of your constituents? Because you know who is celebrating? The FOTUS in the gold plated palace. Disgusted doesn't begin to cut it!

Remember this SENATOR TIM KAINE. WTH are you and the others doing? We want AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. What is so hard to understand? You have an assignment and we, the people give you an F MINUS.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics. It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit! Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday. [video: @mollyjongfast.bsky.social ]

GOP led by Mike Johnson celebrate passing big ugly bill that eliminated SNAP benefits for 40 million Americans to pay for over a trillion dollars in tax cuts to wealthiest. Families starve Rich get richer 😡🤯 VA, NJ, PA, NY, CA vote 🗳️ accordingly on Nov 4th. m.youtube.com/shorts/Qrdm3...

Grandparents for Vaccines (GFV) state leaders held a strategy meeting today. Although progress has been made since GFV launched nearly 2 months ago, there’s still lots to do. We welcome newcomers to the state teams — email [email protected] to learn more.

Here are several conversation starters that grandparents can use when talking with their vaccine hesitant children. It is so important that they hear from trusted messengers how devastating these now vaccine preventable diseases can be. Visit grandparentsforvaccines.com for more information.

My favorite number- ONE So let's do some math. $40 Billion to Argentina 40 Million Americans cut off from SNAP 40,000,000,000 divided by 40,000,000 = 1,000 YUP that is 1 thousand dollars for each of the 40 MILLION Americans facing hunger. But .. let's make Argentina great again, the new MAGA

Grandparents lived in a time when measles and polio were common and terrifying. We were grateful vaccines kept our children safe so they didn't have to suffer as many did. Now, we are speaking up to ensure they understand these diseases have serious consequences. Join us & share your story.

Tsunami 🌊 of cruelty coming to your state just in time for the holidays. Food assistance-nope Toys under tree-nope Homes with adequate heat-nope Healthcare-nope Jobs with living wage-nope All so GOP gets massive tax cuts and he gets ✈️ and ballroom. We the people will not forget!

The more you know: Common reasons for an MRI in older adults *Diagnosing dementia *Investigating cognitive or neurological symptoms *Checking for stroke and related damage: It can be used to check for signs of a stroke, including blood clots and damage to brain tissue.

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-California, offered an amendment during the Senate “vote-a-rama” that would have protected families with children under 12 years from losing SNAP. The vote went along party lines; 53 Republican Senators voted nay and all 47 Senators who caucus with the Democrats were in support.

The Trump judges apparently did not grasp the fact that they are talking about on average, 10 or less peaceful protesters in front of ICE in downtown Portland, that police are perfectly capable of "controlling" looking for an excuse to give FOTUS his own way. www.opb.org/article/2025....

This sure looks like proof of lies, fraud, corruption and treason from the White House. Like we needed more

Happening right now in war ravaged Portland Oregon- you can see for yourself. Thanks #KATUNews www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_uc...

FOTUS literally declares war on LA, Chicago, DC and Portland and he declares he's worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. Who is he kidding? If he is awarded this, it will be the greatest hypocrisy and forever tarnish any past Nobel Laureate. I VOTE NO. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

Update from war ravaged Portland. On what might be the last 70 degree day of 2025, a beautiful full moon beamed over the city. No rockets, no bullets, no bombs, no fires. Just a moon!

Are we in America’s Civil War 2.0? I’m not so sure we are not. Military sent to cities that clearly are peaceful but advertised otherwise. ICE agents zip tying little kids. Radio silence from GOP. 🤦🏻‍♀️

CALIFORNIANS!!!! You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.) Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing. 1/
