Thanks @murray.senate.gov Keep fighting the good fight.

When someone's local hospital closes, they won't "get over it."   When someone's nursing home closes, they won't "get over it."   When someone's kid is kicked off health care, they won't "get over it."   America, let these Republicans know you will NOT "get over" cuts to Medicaid.

Be a Mister Rogers. Wear comfy shoes. Celebrate kindness. Sow affirmations. Save time for make-believe. Sing silly little songs. Testify before a senate subcommittee about the importance of quality public broadcasting. Feed fish. Love sweaters.

Think of where we could be now…

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Really Indiana! As a past resident, this is disappointing.

Yes, please. Doctor offices don’t provide a statement of charges, so it a waiting game with the insurance company. I would love an estimate before walking in to an appointment. Why should we be at the mercy of the medical and insurance industry for something that should be a human right?

Since they vilify government all day every day, here’s a reminder of “50 ways government works for us”👇🏽🇺🇸 Government is not the enemy. It’s not about “Big Government”, it’s about good government. Elect people who believe in it, not the ones who seek to destroy it.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who wishes the media would grow a spine and learn to interview the lying piece of shit properly the way Barbara Walters did fearlessly back in the day. She was prepared for his lies and HANDLED him. Stop sanewashing his crazy bullshit.
