I almost posted something identical yesterday. I went down the soda aisle and in that moment just decided I couldn’t afford Diet Coke anymore. And it’s not that I don’t have $9, but the cost vs value just doesn’t math anymore. Grocery prices are a full blown crisis at this point, and I’d really like to see some congressional action on price gouging. Because starving people living in the same country where grocery conglomerates are posting record profits is not a sustainable model. The greed has gone too far. Time to rein it in.

.@SenatorDurbin just exposed the threat of Trump judicial nominee Justin Smith. He noted that if an eighth grader explained what the Electoral College did, instead of answering who won the 2020 popular vote, they wouldn’t pass. This is exactly what Smith did. It isn't rocket science: Donald Trump lost. Joe Biden won. So why won’t Trump’s nominees say it? Because Trump is nominating them not for their experience, but for their loyalty. Smith is part of a broader effort to stack the courts and the Justice Department with people who won’t say no to Trump. We must demand #NoCronyJudges.

Can I get a Hell Yeah!

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.  🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland. •This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters. •The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.  •This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up. •Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. on.nrdc.org/4csRkwi

OMG, Trump’s post depicting himself as Jesus just got better! 🤣

In case you’re wondering what House Republicans are doing this week after a 2-week recess…. Passing a resolution honoring themselves for passing a bill last year. Seriously.

Today is TAX DAY and this video of a voter calling out Trump for being a TAX CHEAT and an ELECTION CHEAT is going viral: “He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…” But then came the mic drop 👇 “…and now he’s asking every Republican in this room to be one of his prostitutes. 
Not sexually - philosophically.
Do what he says, and you won’t be primaried. 
Defy him - and you’ll be punished. 
It’s that diabolical. 
It’s that simple.” Every American needs to hear this!! #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn

Reminder of you need one!

BREAKING: @PsychoPAC24 just released their last ad featuring Trump’s sexual assault victims telling their stories. Please share far and wide!

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out She says their water system has been completely destroyed She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels “I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”

4-13-2009- Harry Kalas passed away 17 years ago today & it left a team & a fanbase absolutely stunned. The Phillies that day collect one of the most somber wins in team history , as it was their way to pay tribute to the departed legend @2008Philz

Let’s make this blubber racist famous… #NameThisRacist 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

How to stop these type of reoccurring cases overnight: Torture animal = jail, fine, removal of state hunting licenses for life. Issue solved.

BOYCOTT this evil bar full of rednecks who watched a young WOLF PUP bleed to death before being shot by the chief redneck who has got off with probation. @visitwyoming don't visit this bar, they are heathens

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3 million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅
