My kids have measles, I can't afford diesel, I can't get a mortgage, my wife was deported, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now my insurance covers most of my ball-tanning treatments.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.
Q: How do you define socialism personally?

JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Dems win senate in Nov. but it doesn't change hands until Jan.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.
