When ever any legislator is talking, remember all but about 20 of the 535 have been taking AIPAC funds, turning around and sending your tax $$ to Israel, some in the form of weapons to kill civilians. 128 dems signed to not impeach, guess AIPAC likes our president. Israelis all have healthcare.

This is the most important thing to know. Say goodbye to checks and balances if the bill passes. Trump on his own, free to do whatever he wants without any fear of the courts. Since the legislature, both sides have been quiet about this, I guess they are ok with it. Does no elections = job security.

Lana says it’s bedtime. She is purring softly. As soon as she is sound asleep, she will either breathe very loudly or moan and groan all night.

Trump says he isn’t ready to talk to Musk yet. Of course not. This is distraction, dragging it out through the weekend.

If the bill passes, courts lose power over Trump completely. He said no more voting. No more elections could be a lifetime appointment for every sitting member of Congress, both sides. The illusion has to go on. Why aren’t legislators screaming about this end to the balance of power.

Can everyone just forget the budget in the bill for a second. If the bill passes, he can strip everything, VA, SS, free speech. The bill budget talk is distracting from letting people know the bill gives him full dictatorial power. Courts are stripped of power over him. GOP pulling a fast one.

Anxiety runs in families and times like we are living in now can ramp it up. But really the cat too, Mikey checks to make sure burners are off and then seems to turn around and let me know.

Anyone know of any protests this weekend in Raleigh or Durham, NC? Feels like we should be hitting the streets before the June 14th protest.

Too big a deal to ignore. If he decides to cancel the next election, what could a court even do about it without power. If this is true and passes, we will find ourselves in a country named by Trump.

Has anyone legitimately checked out to see if the J6 pardoned or any of the boys from the U-Haul trucks or proud boys are doing these ice raids? Are private contractors handling them and do they have any training?

Mikey car, first ride.

Goals, Mikey learns to ride in car. He watched it go around the yard empty. Now he checked it out.

It’s all blatantly out in the open, the hate, the corruption, the distain for all but the elite. The charade is so stupid and ridiculous, the lies that only the most gullible believe. Never forget there are countries with healthcare, gun control and a good life. If we survive, don’t settle for less.

Wondering today, why do the few that have more than they could ever need want to take away the last little bit so many have left. When you are hanging by a thread and that little bit is taken just out of cruelty, it’s crushing. Why is the legislature on board with this? We are just trying to survive

When we think about change to our current situation, is it too much to hold the dems to a standard. Things like we only want candidates that don’t accept foreign and special interest money. Do I continue to hope, hope gets us no where?

Our government was a system that allowed personal growth of some citizens while using taxpayer dollars to enrich the infrastructure, not CEOs. Big government gave the middle class a securer world, enabling Some to acquire the American dream, while we pushed to include all. The gop destroyed all hope

What is big government. It is a system of checks, balances. A system where regulations protect the land and the citizens. It is built on well paying civil service jobs. It is built on taxes paid fairly by those at the top and bottom. It is not privatized services where CEOs steal tax dollars.

Republicans feel they can get away with pretending they believe in Trump’s economy, long enough to push through the budget. Then we will all be trapped under it. As they explain their hands are tied and they can fix it with enough time. The only deals being made are for Trump and them, the wealthy.

Not sure I am reading HR 867 correctly, but it purposes you could not furnish info about whether a person is associated with an organization that supports a boycotted country. So I couldn’t post how much AIPAC $, Davis, Moskowitz, Gottheimer, Morello & Gilles, cosponsors of the bill get from AIPAC.

What if a few gop members from the house and senate did the right thing and resigned. Would that shift the balance of power enough to help? Where is the integrity, they could be heroes. That’s why it isn’t fear stopping them, it’s love of money and power. Nothing stops them from walking away.

Guys find out that women can survive without them. So now Trump is trying to force women into having to have a man to survive financially.

While everyone is worrying about tariffs and disappearings, Trump signed an executive order to get rid of the Equal Credit Act. This could lead to women not being able to get credit, get housing, etc without a husband’s signature. The gop from the top to bottom is against women’s rights.

Did you know you may be permanently banned from the ability to comment on insta if you make a broad comment like, you would never be on the same side as a Proud boy. Meaning like a cause they take up.

April, May, and June are the months with the highest suicide rates. Spring offers a feeling of hope, of new adventures in the outdoors, the beauty of regrowth. It can also make a vulnerable depressed person feel more out of sync with the world. Check in today on the vulnerable. Make time to care.

The tariffs are the latest bone thrown out to occupy the watchdogs while Trump pillages and destroys. Time to address the coup as much as the tariffs. Because the coup is the worst thing happening. Congress needs to throw it in the face of gop every interaction. Wealthy tax cut vs Va, ss, Medicaid

Early this morning the Senate moved forward on a bill to pass budget reconciliation which will allow them to bypass a filibuster and pass Trumps budget. The bill will now go to the house. People trying to figure how to survive while they are still twisting the knives in our backs.

Now would be a good time if democrats really want to revitalize the party, to stop taking money from the PACs of foreign countries. Denouncing AIPAC’s ties to the US government, but they love the money and it won’t happen. If only Booker had taken the opportunity to address his aipac funding.

Who else is tired of our tax dollars supporting a man child’s space dreams and another country’s wars , while their citizens enjoy all the things we do without as a nation. Meanwhile most of our politicians get rich with insider trading and corporate and special interest donations. Makes no sense.

Are there states that could at least start petitioning to recall state senators, reps or governors. Because this still matters on local levels. Especially with the states rights and the gop hope of enough states gathering to change the constitution. Just wondering?

AIPAC Hall of Shame #16. Rep. Don Davis [D-NC-01] AIPAC Donations: $441,228 Israel Lobby Total: $996,722 Don Davis is #BribedByAIPAC to pledge allegiance to a foreign government.

One suspected terrorist bombed in an apartment with his gf. I believe there are something like 13 other deaths from the bombing. Fire emojis, biceps, etc. celebrating deaths in an undeclared war. Until all our politicians are free of foreign money, we are paying with our tax money for their wars.

Is there a list anywhere of elected officials who have not taken Israeli pac money?

My acronym of the day to share with young and old. JEL JUDICIAL LEGISLATURE EXECUTIVE The 3 most important words of our time need to be glued in everyone’s head. JEL equals the balance of power. It is Essential to maintain our freedoms and our country. Democracy for our republic depends on JEL

Putting a puzzle together takes the worries away for a bit. Then this happens. If I try to move them, especially the big guy Colonel, the pieces will go everywhere.

Another day, another predator. When votes are tallied his next election, my guess is he will still be a state senator. The value of women and children does not seem to affect elections in the US. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Serious question, families with grown children and politically aligned views are you pulling together and checking in on each other? Or has the stress closed everyone one from each other? Are friends checking on each other or are you finding yourself even more isolated than during the pandemic?

When you choose the wide night stand to accommodate all the important things in life. The blind is up so she can look out side all night. Lana will come lay against my side for short periods, but the feral in her and Mikey (the mischievous Maine Coon) makes her too jumpy to completely relax in bed.

Maybe Trump wants to make a women’s bureau and they brought Tate back to lead it. Would that surprise anyone?

Getting lots of email supposedly from Social Security. Today’s looks very legit except it came from juliannag@adaccv.org Anyone else getting this stuff?

As soon as he stops social security, the housing market will flood, foreclosures will be daily. Loosing medicaid will close hospitals and nursing homes. People will literally be dumped in the streets to survive without healthcare. We are almost over night destroyed from within.

Spending so much time and energy on his tariff game is exactly what he wants. Concentrate on the things that we won’t come back from, that will put multitudes in the streets, shutter nursing homes and hospitals, destroy privately owned home ownership.

It’s time to start speaking up. The blame lies on both parties and their corporate partners. Deregulation and partnership with big money brought us here. Both sides have played in the money grab offered by lobbyists. We are on the brink now. They have their wealth, we are expendable in this moment.

Not extending and adding to the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy would take away the need for all this. Simply put they will destroy the housing market, ss, medicare , and Medicaid to extend those cuts, leading to a financial and humanitarian crisis. It’s that simple. Yet the legislature won’t say it.

The fear, shock and awe means dems need to react quickly, evaluate, relegate follow up to a few, and move on to the next crisis.

If anyone still has excuses for trump, walk away. They won’t listen and punching them might put you in front of a maga judge.

Planning and accepting that things are changing is essential. Get over the idea of stubborn senior independence and the parental blaming, unless they are maga.You need to come together. Every privately owned home is a rare gem that needs to be kept out of the hands of the corp. Think outside the box

Not looking like a drill. Start planning. If a family member is on ss, start talking now. Many seniors will lose their homes. If they have a mortgage, they will lose their equity when the market floods. Stay if you can afford it without ss. Rents are high, shared housing is next. Like it or not
