@allin Yes, she's despicable.
McBride responds
βThis is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,β McBride said. βWe should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars. Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and thatβs what Iβm focused on."
House passes major veterans care act
The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act, known as the Dole Act, passed on a bipartisan 389-9 vote.
Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.), chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said a big provision is that the VA will no longer βget to decide where veterans should get their health care.β

Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms
The resolution, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity, comes just a week after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) made history as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

I think we were talking about these children who voted for Trump. They voted for project 2025 so let them get their education at the camp. They don't need college.
@ControlBabe1 Yes, father said they were privileged and he doesn't "understand how thy feel like they have been violated against by society enough that they feel Trump hears them and their struggles"
@Zevon He should be able to sue them. That's just wrong.
@b4cks4w Those upcoming...
@SaltyVeruca So can I, crystal clear.
@b4cks4w They already have enough education to run DOJ, HHS and Dept of Defense. They good.πππ

@AnnetteTRemain There are some of the worst people all around us. I don't put ALL of any group in one bucket. While there may be some bad people in sports and acting, there are also some really good humanitarians among them with causes I support.
@Blueway Some of my proudest moments are when my 40 year old son calls me with someone on the other end thanking me for raising a respectful man. The people he works with, his customers at the post office, and his wife frequently thanks me.
Mom, Grandma, and proud nurse. Doing my part to make the πa better place.
