Seriously?! So grandparents raising grandkids, foster parents, adoptive parents - all don't matter because they're not "biological?"

All, if you need proof that Feinstein's absence matters, look at today's vote.
The vote was 50-49, because:
1. Manchin voted with the GOP,
2. Feinstein is still out.
If Feinstein had been there, it would have been 50-50- and Harris as tie-breaker.
"I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. I am not going to be some servile puppy dog."

- Ted Servile Puppy Dog Cruz, reality
Ted Cruz didn't want the voters, the House or the Electoral College to decide.
Ted Cruz wanted a made-up "commission" to decide who the president would be.
That's how Vlad does it.
"Private messages sent by Mr. Carlson that had been redacted in legal filings showed him making highly offensive and crude remarks that went beyond the inflammatory, often racist comments of his prime-time show and anything disclosed in the lead-up to the trial."

Montana transgender lawmaker barred by GOP from 2023 session https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-04-26/montana-transgender-lawmaker-barred-by-gop-from-2023-session
1/ In a deeply silly turn of events, MT Gov. Greg Gianforte issued an amendatory veto of the TikTok ban bill that passed last week.
And not in a good way.
Aside from missing the *entire* First Amendment point, his proposed changes seem to actually ban *all* social media from the state.

142,000,000 homes, 8,000 home invasions/year, 100 deaths during home invasions. if you own a gun to protect your family, your odds of needing a gun for this purpose (even though statistics show it is ineffective in these cases), your odds are .0000007 or 7 in 10,000,000.
The chances you or a loved one will die from suicide/accidental shooting/family dispute is 40,000 in 55,000,000 or 7 in 10,000.
The gun adds 1000 times the risk!

I took a deep dive into files that ransomware hackers leaked from the Minneapolis School District. It's so much worse than just SSNs and home addresses. It's psych evals, writeups of physical and sexual abuse. Always with the child's name, testimony.
When the @gop demands spending cuts to raise the debt ceiling (pay our credit card bill) just remember:
1. Trump raised the the debt ceiling 3x without cutting spending.
2. That’s never happened under any Republican POTUS.
3. The deficit increased each year under Trump & has fallen each year under Biden.
