www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... 1This health insurance issue is really bothering the scheming Reps and their leader, as they soak in their govt. shutdown. They have never liked Obamacare nka the "Affordable" Care Act (ACA). Wasn't this what Trump was gaslighting about during his campaign?

Lov 'em... one and all!

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/u... Of course, it entered my mind that 10-yr terms are more realistic than life terms (federal S.Ct. justices have become the long-term gaming politician's chess board). Wanna bet federal S.Ct justices -- if faced w/10-yr terms -- would rule differently?

finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-s... So "casino" of Trump. Social Security is not taxable income. Seniors with "income" file income tax. Let me take this opportunity to pose a question of national interest: Is our govt under this Rep Admin seriously close to running out of money?

www.samsung-news.com/articles/Hhr... What is it about the Affordable Care Act that the Republicans hate? It wasn't their success story?!

Wĥat I don't like is The Heritage Foundation and all those $supporters$ who feel it is their responsibility to "🔫 Project 2025" us! Socialists? We a-ight.

@gramadre62.bsky.social me and my typos (troup... te-he-he). Seriously sorry.

www.forbes.com/sites/martin... 🧳WHERE ELSE BUT FLORIDA? PERHAPS, GREECE??

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... Okay, I will not be liked for the way I post this, but... Who in hell is Bari Weiss? A new editor of sorts who gets a $10,000 daily security escort team? Whatever. She should get some new pics that do not seem to promote her sign language skills.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... 1Looks to me, SNAP wasn't considered in any way, shape, form. It is an achilles heel as are people in govt jobs who were fired and probably replaced with patronage employees in a number of instances. The horrific deportation campaign now a two-headed dragon.

www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru... Yeah... just like the tariffs that the American People pay for! Our armed forces are in place to protect our country and our complaisence with "how Trump sees it" is null and void b/c Trump defies norms as we know them.

www.axios.com/2025/11/05/h... The bottom line: "What we're trying to do in the South is rewrite the democratic playbook about what it means to win here and the type of candidate that can win," Behn told Axios.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... The president, while desperately trying to distance himself from his own felony convictions, uses his presidential power to "negate" corruption convictions among his patronage, friends and cronies... as if they were an all-important, legitimate agenda item.

youtube.com/watch?v=EUBh... I watched interview. Got impression Gayle was playing "devil's advocate" in defense of some vocalists who seem to feel insecure. Music awards shows embrace all genres. There seems to be 51. Look for an AI genre. This talented young woman shouldn't be discouraged.

unionrayo.com/en/snap-new-... All the Republicans live for are opportunities to find excuses to squeeze Consumers. It has to stop or they are going to face a tsunami of last-straw ordinary people. It's coming!

www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p... Yes... it will be a monstrous job, undoing, redoing, and redoing it even better, but... 🌊It will be an honor!!

Let's not feel sorry for them. LET THEM EAT CAKE!!! TIP THEM! 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 ...and dare anybody to throw a penalty flag.

share.google/tC6kuZYKAPSp... ❣️Here comes Nancy to get us over this hurdle! 💛Leave it to Nancy! 💚Nancy is ingenuous! 🧡Parliamentarian Nancy! 🩶Strategy by Pelosi! 🩵Nancy sure can navigate those 👠 3" heels! 💙...glad she has given us a year to digest her farewell! Tap...tap...👇

x.com/SpeakerJohns... This is one smooth talkin' dude who thinks he can sell a story... any kind of story... to little kids and real old ladies. Would love to be a fly on the wall as he visits a confessional. What? Oh.... he's not Catholic. What is he? A smooth operator!

www.cnn.com/2025/11/05/a... Been waiting for this! However, thought Maduro would do it.

www.nbcnews.com/video/shorts... What motivation!! THANK YOU, TRUMP&CO. The Blue Wave could not have pulled it off without you! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️🤸 Mamdani! Spanberger! Sherrill!

fortune.com/2025/11/03/m... Always take the time to thank Mackenzie. Feel her giving is well researched and unbiased. I did not attend Howard, but I know Howard. An academic cornerstone. ⚘️♥️Mackenzie...THANK YOU!!!

www.cnn.com/2025/11/04/p... Dick Cheney represented that Republican Party, albeit Conservative, that desired to remain Public Servants. Liz Cheney, in her father's footsteps, has displayed by example his resolve and integrity. My sympathies to the Cheney Family.🥀

This senator has tossed a red flag. The Dems have no "other side of the aisle" to work with. Does that mean they should forfeit their pay for a month? Oh, Reps would not stand for losing their pay, so, Dems are being paid as well. BUT, if you a/n there to work, you a/n there to get paid.

substack.com/@jennifercan... Thank you Jennifer. Sound byte perfect... hear, here! (This will probably make his stomach growl.)

www.politico.eu/article/what... Advocate free trade. Not everything should be stamped with a dollar sign. Causes the very problems Trump is faced with right now. Gets too competitive and begins to look extortionous where some countries are involved. Healthy global relations are more important.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Was hoping George had gone silent for a while. What is it he wants to do? Get into politics? Uphill way to start.

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... Nope! Not either one of them. They share the Trump agenda!!! No votes. When a nuisance finds its way in to your house, what do you do?? Get rid of it!

Open mouth, insert foot. Every time, Comer?? Forget voiding any commutations by Biden. Worry ,'bout Trump pardoning subjects he "doesn't know"!

www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bor... Hey, Gregory I want to borrow former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's description of the Trump&Co government shutdown to articulate your trespass on the good citizens victimized by you. "Seinfeldian".

HERE, HERE!! Keep those White South Africans coming! The Department of the Census is one of Trump's fav agencies. (Bet it has a budget with one helluva surplus... and he wants to know where to get emergency SNAP funds from? Bet Elon did not break into its motis operandi.)

1🥷Venezuela. 🗣Hey! This country is not going to settle for policing the World.... Our soldiers signed up to defend us! What "War Department"? Three Trump men and not one served in a branch of our military.

1✈️...de plane! de plane! 🤦Double standards have a way of jumping out of the box to embarrass us. Don't you agree, Kash? (Should have refrained from Wray fault finding.)

So why did I post this oath? He lied, full well knowing what his King-sized agenda would be. "Inapposite".

The presidential oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution

www.yahoo.com/news/article... Excuses, excuses... from a president who does what he wants to. 🤷

abcnews-go-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/abcnews.... One thing that shouldn't need clarification is 'do not stop funding'. How Trump does that? He's the president and can do anything he wants.

www.axios.com/2025/10/31/s... A faux USDA Secretary claiming corrupt SNAP benefits.

The Best Show And Tell Ever ...in our faces!! We've got a Jack of all trades... master of none... faux president of faux folks. We've got to do so much better, People!

💯

www.politico.com/live-updates... I wanna know why the U.S. Export program has never been able to get up and run? We have products to introduce globally. Nobody ever looks at trade from this end. Might be very ideal for smaller and specialty merchants.

variety.com/2025/tv/news... One door closes, another opens. (Gayle's a.m. team is the bomb. They have no worries.)

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... 1It is beyond me... this is a Republican majority and they still are singing that same lame song abt what the Dems are responsible for?? Give me a break!

www.foxnews.com/media/jamie-... 1There are some people that you know ~ but you will never know ~ and you know that ~ and it's... 'oh ight'. Attagurl, Jamie!🤸‍♀️ For me... much of his fame was in his gazillion dollar name: all-American, catching, suggesting wholesome values.

www.cnn.com/2025/10/30/p... Just what the Harvard Community (and other academic communities want you to do!) Probably what all others in NYC want you to do! Poor effort to use her to stick out her pretty red high heel shoe and trip Mamdani up.

We've gotta lobby the U.S. Park Service to engage the services of one sharpie landlord/tenant lawyer to look at this bold East Wing demolition and draft a White House Tenant Lease, first of its kind, retroactive to January 20, 2025, that will discourage new leadership with...

www.politico.com/live-updates... News!! What News?

Someone on BlueSky commented that lying about the rising cost of health insurance was not a winning strategy. To what point??

www.pgpf.org/article/a-br... 1From: "A Brief History of U.S. Government Shutdowns" ...Government shutdowns do not occur in peer countries because their governments do not react to a lapse in funding bills by shutting down operations. ...

www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbsn... 1"The U.S. government shut down Wednesday, Oct. 1, after President Trump and congressional Republicans were unable to avert a lapse in federal funding"... ❓️Why, do you suppose that happened?? Trump's big spending?! ("I can do anything I want!")
