Millions of Americans are paid through government programs to care for disabled family members.
Now that lifeline is under attack on multiple fronts: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…

@KSTP Democrats simply cannot accept even the notion of being denied. They believe they are the default party, hold ultimate control, and always have final say. Countering these beliefs is dangerous; in fact, deadly. Chins up ppl, and never forfeit your ability to protect yourselves!

Minnesota House Democrats staged a sit-in at the Capitol overnight as a dispute over a gun bill and a confrontation between lawmakers continued into the morning. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

@nicksortor So what? Their annual govt paycheck is just a weekend rounder for a lot of these people. They act like it's a favor, so honorably willing to forfeit earnings they didn't earn. Where would they be without the people who elected them, the people they mock every budget season.

🚨 JUST IN — IT’S OFFICIAL: The U.S. Senate has BARRED members from receiving paychecks when the government shuts down
The ONLY useful thing the Senate has done in a long time.
I’m genuinely surprised!

@Rotpar007 @gman5180 My mom lives just north of Eureka Springs on the Missouri side. Gorgeous area. But yeah, services and amenities are hard to come by. And I need an Ativan to ride those back roads with her 🤣
English
@gman5180 I grew up living that, every winter visiting dad in the early 80's Ozarks. Eastern Table Rock Lake, camper trailers, eating what was shot that day.
Nobody would be trans anything or afraid to find themselves if they had to live this for just a portion of their life.

"It" got @megynkelly. That makes me sad 😔
All the way this time too.
Anyone in close contact better look out. I really believe these people are somehow inviting evil in and it's consuming them.

Megyn Kelly’s INEXPLICABLE BACKFLIP on Islam: In the past four months, she’s gone from saying, “It’s your duty as a Christian to stand up and fight against it,” VS. NOW celebrating Tucker Carlson’s growing Muslim audience - seemingly moving in that direction herself.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Don’t believe the self-made myth.

@ciphergoth @politicalmath No disrespect, but if you’re willing to hand over the fruits of your time and labor to a particular political party, and spend your one vote on the same, you belong to that party.
English
@politicalmath I don't know if I exactly count as "a Democrat", but as a Democratic donor and voter, yes, it makes me sad that the party behaves like this.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. All the "smart" Democrats are saying that the court should have addressed this issue before the election.
But the Court says IN THE DECISION:
"Thoughout this litigation, the Commonwealth (ie the Democrats) has insisted that we cannot lawfully decide this case prior to the referendum"
Before the election, the Democrats *successfully* argued that "courts cannot interfere to stop any of the proceedings while this permanent law is in the process of being made"
The Democrats WON the argument that the Courts MUST allow the election to go ahead without ruling on the constitutionality of what they were voting on
Now they are complaining that the Court should have ruled on this case before the election. This is the most cut-and-dried case of intentional idiocy I've seen in at least a week and a half

@Winst1121 @MrAndyNgo We've been starting to get a lot more British and Australian commentary type news lately on YouTube, which is cool, and interesting. I've seen a couple interviews of his. Good guy! 👍

@MrAndyNgo Americans will have only heard about Farage, but the real patriots will know the real deal, Rupert Lowe.

To my American followers: Yesterday was local elections across England, Wales and Scotland, and the results have shattered the two-party Labour-Conservative status quo that held for a century. Starmer’s left-wing Labour Party has lost close to 1,100 council seats, while Nigel Farage’s Reform, a new party, gained over 1,200 council seats.
The next general election for parliament is not set to take place until 2029, but this outcome makes Farage being prime minister a possibility if the momentum continues.

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning.
Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale.
Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model.
Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole.
Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.
Paul Graham@paulg
Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html

Fixed it for you...
"So let me get this right… when the people decide, something is inherently wrong, but when dems ram through massive race based policy and spending at the behest of the handlers of an oatmeal minded corpse, there’s nothing to see and it’s perfectly ok. ALL ELECTIONS MATTER… these people have cheated themselves into power & have violated laws, constitutions, and most basic rules of decency & humanity, to continue to drag our asses deeper Into debt for freebies and fraud while expecting taxpayers to also fund everybody's food, housing, childcare, utilities, healthcare, and on and on and on!
The dems and dixiecrats will continue to parlay that race card every opportunity they get until kingdom come."

So let me get this right… when the people decide, something is inherently wrong, but when repubs ram through racist maps at the behest of an immoral incompetent immature idiot, there’s nothing to see and it’s perfectly ok. ALL ELECTIONS MATTER… these people have cheated themselves into power & will violate any laws, constitutions, or basic rules of decency & humanity, to continue to drag our asses deeper Into debt for ballrooms while people can’t afford food, gas, or healthcare!
The confederate states are for sure showing that they were never ridded of their racism.

Even though our kids won’t see our love “grow old together” from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one. And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can.
Happy Anniversary to the love of my life.

These people are something else. If they "feel" harmed in some way, whether they were or were not is irrelevant.

I guess we'll see. And yeah, that is my message. Because I've been there too, and it was the actual economy, not my feelings. Guess what the solution wasn't... the newest iPhone, fake nails/lashes/hair, huge car payments, daily Starbucks, or any number of stupid spending decisions we're supposed to believe are necessities. I'm tired of hearing how hard life is from the same people TikTok'n about the misery of an 8 hour work day and how they can't use SNAP on fatty cakes anymore. Most could easily cut $1-2k/mo if it wasn't for their vanity and pride. When things are good, are they making bigger payments, stocking up, saving/investing? Are they meal planning, clipping coupons, or downgrading now, while they're suffering so much? Hell no. But hey, a bull💩 democrat talking point is a talking point all the same. Am I right, Blue?

The Virginia Supreme Court may have struck down Virginia's redistricting plan, but one thing they can't strike down is how the American people are feeling about the Trump administration and its failing economy.
The voices of the people will not be silenced.

@BlueMissourians @FactsandData13 @RepShriThanedar I wonder if getting kicked in the face by reality and obligations after 4+ years of freebies and handouts has anything to do with that.

MAGA has rigged the system.

The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.
