This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The final Mercury retrograde of the year is here, from November 9 - 29, starting in Sagittarius & moving back into Scorpio on November 18. I have tips for navigating this in my annual guide at OM Times: omtimes.com/2024/11/how-...

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. (Sigh.) It’s time for another round of retrorama. It sends sparks flying midweek. Use them. empowermentunlimited.net/2025/11/07/a...
