Maybe it's just me, but I feel like my safety is at risk from a president who pardons white supremacists after they beat police officers or a Congress that isn't willing to lower healthcare costs, not a dad who went to routine check ins with his first grader. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Trump suspending offshore wind under the guise of "national security" is a political gift to fossil fuel donors that actually makes us less safe. It spikes energy bills, increases blackout risks, and weakens our energy independence. Clean energy IS security.
Ivanka Trump, emulating her father as a gaslighting poseur. The woman whose family has raked in billions THIS YEAR ALONE by stealing from the people of this country. Whose children will never be subjected to the terror to which her father subjects others. Fuck you, Ivanka. We ain't buyin' it.

FWIW: The article gives their home town & county and says it's a married couple w/2 teenage kids. Sure enough, if I assume the parents are 55 & 50 with the children age 19 & 17, living in Jackson Hole, WY w/an annual income of $130K/year, this is indeed the least-expensive plan available:
When this administration cuts support to public schools, it's those most in need who are hurt the worst. Rural schools rely more heavily on federal fundsโwhen that disappears, important programs get cut, teachers are out of a job & students are left worse off. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I think RFK Jr. and Trump want to bring this stuff back on the market. Death or addiction is good for the economy, right? Of course Trump will want to add bleach as an internal disinfectant. We can all look forward to when he holds up a bible as they announce it. #Drumpf
