Congress just reintroduced the Healthy Families Act—7 days of paid sick leave for private sector workers. Wild that in 2026 this is still a fight. Massive thanks to @delauro.house.gov & @sanders.senate.gov for leading the charge alongside 165+ congressional members. Working people deserve better.

President Trump says America can’t afford Medicare, Medicaid, or childcare because “we’re fighting wars.” Now he’s asking for a $1.5 trillion+ blank check for the least transparent Pentagon in American history. Seriously? That’s not fiscal responsibility — that’s an epic failure of accountability.
Reading is fundamental and comprehension is paramount. This is classic because why lie? Also, why not just get the audiobook? Also, although the movie is ass. You could of use something from the movie. Lekud James said Shabazz said: “We are kings and queens.” 🤣

It's really making my blood boil that referrals will be delayed by Labour's new watch and wait policy which will see delayed diagnosis and people will be left in limbo. What if someone has suspected cancer and it's not picked up?
Day 495 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope.
In a world too often divided by color, imagine rising above it all… A future where we truly see each other’s souls shining, hearts connected, differences celebrated, not weaponized.

Crafting a narrative that does NOT align with the truth gets tricky when speaking without the bandwidth to remember the story justifying why Wank can't do early morning engagements. @brewerelac.bsky.social @bakerhrolyn.bsky.social

We started the hike too late to watch the horses in training but there was still plenty to see. The hares were far too fast to be captured but they were a joy to watch running free & far afield. The rams were more dodgy as they came running at us. @yorkshiredales @visitengland @visityorkshire
