Sometimes I forget I’m not young anymore. I coached soccer, was a Scout den leader, & a religious Ed teacher. I enjoy family time & love watching my grandkids play sports. I believe people should help one another. I was called chatterbox as a kid. No chats

I can’t bring myself to share this because of his lying. He is definitely sucking us dry. Wasting millions & billions on dollars.

Realizing NO amount of budgeting can fix the fact that most Americans no longer make enough money to comfortably afford homes.

My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

The GOP is not trying to fix the economy. They're trying to fix the election.

The Florida House unanimously passed SB 302 with a 109–0 vote, adding strong protections that help ensure this incredible bay will not become a cruise ship port.

More importantly, this shows that our voices are being heard.

This afternoon, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and Cyber Defense. Americans shouldn't have to wait in hour long lines at airports while workers go without pay, simply because the GOP refuse to address accountability and commonsense reforms at ICE and CBP.
