A bill to provide Medicaid assistance to individuals and families affected by a disaster or emergency, and for other purposes.
📢 Introduced in Senate
Today in 1945, 80 years ago: in northern Luzon -in the context of World War II - Philippine troops of the Army of the Commonwealth of the Philippines free those captured in Ilocos Sur and begin the battle of Bessang Pass.
Two democratic politicians have been shot, one of them was killed, and Trump is busy posting about his GREAT MILITARY PARADE.

Holy shit. But also... this will not go well:
"Authorities have instructed local residents not to answer the door for anyone saying they are police unless there are two officers present and to call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer if there is only one."

Mosaic floor from a #Roman house in the ruins of the ancient city of Empúries on the #Catalan coast northeast of #Girona. Empúries was founded by Greeks in the 6th century BCE and was later occupied by the Romans. The city’s ruins are spread over a large area that is beautifully situated on the #Mediterranean coast with distinct original #Greek and later Roman sections. A fascinating place to wander around in.

When I took my cat to the vet yesterday, I told her I'd be out at #NoKings today. We'd never talked about #MAGA before but between demographics and her compassion I figured she was on our side. She is.
She said she was so proud of her clients who were going, but she wondered in a tone of despair whether protests would make a difference.
I said, "Look what we've done with Tesla Takedown! Musk is still attacking the country, we have to keep it up, but we chased him out of Washington...

in reply to Khurram Wadee • • •Thanks @Khurram Wadee for posting that. I see @Joyce Donahue did for another source (KVRR) as well. Wendy and I are just finishing up our signs for "No Kings" protest here in Vermont. Mine will simply read "1 Samuel 8" and I'm not sure what Wendy's will say.
Yes, some people may choose the path of violence. And we may not be able to stop them. But may the world forever be filled with enough people determined to show love and kindness. And may I be one of them.
With kindness, -Randy
