Just sent a message to Sen Wyden and Sen Merkley to try to head this off. Sacrificing Medicaid and Social Security for political points is not acceptable.

Gotta love how Trump and friends continue to blame all the bad going on Biden/Harris/Obama and the Dems just take it.

Repubs spout garbage 24/7 and we talk about it. Dems keep trying to be the adults and donā€™t understand weā€™ve got toddlers driving the car. Telling them about rules of the road arenā€™t what we need to do. Short, simple, direct statements.

Good I guess to see a video of Rand Paul pointing out that tariffs are stupid and hurtful but damn, I was too focused on those weird glasses to pay attention to what he was saying.

[My glasses from 2 years ago broke a year ago, so Iā€™ve been wearing my pre-Covid glasses for about a year. Stupid insurance limits me to one pair of glasses every two years. Iā€™m eligible, but now I need to wait a few months more until my contacts I pay out-of-pocket for get closer to running out. See what you have to look forward to as the ā€œ51st stateā€?! Ainā€™t it great?]

Oh I like rimless glasses, itā€™s the cartilage or whatever it is that makes up the frame that weirds me out.

Our glasses arenā€™t covered here, so we wouldnā€™t be losing that, at least.

Yeah, that bit is a kind of strange. Mine have titanium frames on the upper part, as well as the arms and the nose piece, and they are really, really light, which is one reason Iā€™ve kept them so long.
