    Thank you all for your incredible response to my uprising against Konmari The notion that books should spark joy is a LUDICROUS one. I have said it a hundred times: Literature does not exist only to comfort and placate us. It should disturb + perturb us. Life is disturbing.

  3. The thing about Rashida Tlaib’s comment is that three children have been killed by CBP as a direct result of Trump’s anti-immigrant policies and if you’re upset by what she said rather than by what Trump did to those kids, you’re a ghoul

    Career Education Corp Pays Millions to Settle 48 State Claims of Deceptive & Abusive Practices. DeVos' top 3 aides are all connected to the company (!), which got off easy -- forgiving student loans they never expected to collect on.

    Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me. Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas 💁🏽‍♀️

    A lot of people will bring this up, but: the Venn diagram of people shaming AOC for her high school dancing video while defending Brett Kavanaugh’s teenage sex crimes has a tellingly large center section

  16. PAYGO aka “pay as you go” means the House must generate equivalent cuts every time they want to pass bills that spend funds. It’s a terrible way to hamstring themselves, an artifact of GOP austerity, and if 14 more Reps stand up, they could stop it in its tracks.

    Tomorrow I will also vote No on the rules package, which is trying to slip in . PAYGO isn’t only bad economics, as explains; it’s also a dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare+other leg. We shouldn’t hinder ourselves from the start.

  18. The House needs 18 NO votes to stop PAYGO on Thursday. There are 2 confirmed NO votes so far. & Let's stop this fiscal madness in its tracks. We need a flexible budget to rebalance our economy.

    This is a terrible move from Pelosi and Democratic Party leadership and a slap in the face for movements demanding justice and prosperity for all — not just a privileged few.
