”I want to make sure people know their members should not be voting for cuts to Medicaid,” Khanna said on Fox 11 Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“We’re filling a void that’s left open by our Republican colleagues who are too scared to show up to town halls in their own districts because they’re doing things that are not popular,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) told reporters during the Democrats’ annual retreat in Leesburg, Virginia.

The enjoyment of owning the GOP for being absent in these dark times doesn’t compare to meeting the MAGA reps head on. This feels like the democrats are just starting their campaigns for the next election cycle. I understand the long term benefits, but I’d rather see immediate action in Washington and at the state level.

This threat has been lingering since he retook office. I asked my partner, who is at an education conference as an elementary teacher, what percentage of teachers support the end of the Dept of Education. She doesn’t know one teacher that supports the removal. Not one.

Can we go back to wanting more pay/benefits for teachers and not hosing them more than ever?

What does “Nicole-ed” mean? I’m curious if it matches the Nicole I know.

Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
