That especially might work because we have just been in Japan where corn in salad is totally normal.

I've seen it the most often in promotions. Somehow a younger white guy always seems the better candidate than the older Black woman

Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

Exactly. If you’re worried (and, everyone should worried about fascism) do any and all that you can: register, organize, donate vote.

Periodic reminder: Everyone's going to have a hot take. Including George Clooney. Instead of debating the merits, we should be focusing on: 1. Are you registered to vote? 2. Have you checked your registration? 3. Have you told 5 people about Project 2025? 4. Have you called your Senators?

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

A lot of Trump’s Project 2025 is new, and I think we should also talk about why they’re doing this in the open: This is a $22 million recruitment effort. If Trump wins, they will hit the ground running, with a list of people to hire and action items for them to implement. That’s the point.

Medicaid covers nearly half of all long-term care, and 62% of nursing home bills. They want to let grandma die at home, while you struggle to care for her, unable to work and with no health insurance yourself.
