Re: McConnell’s new rosy-cheeked proof-of-“life” pic. Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t, but when I needed PT for my back, and was told to apply for FMLA, the school district required x-rays, mri, doctor’s note, and proof of each PT session, just to keep my job. I need Mitch’s med plan.

20 minutes on Bluesky. Now I need a news cleanse. Sitting in Barnes and Noble with a book and a coffee. Everyone in here is chill. Old/young. Light/dark. Pierced/unpierced. Pronouns/no pronouns. We DGAF, MAGA!

One of the weirdest things during the campaign was Trump talking about money. He clearly had no idea what 5 dollars can buy or what a tank of gas costs. Yet that fact never gained any traction among big foot pundits.

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.
