I am so sick of the legitimacy of my marriage constantly being up for debate. It’s humiliating, degrading, & inhumane. How does my marriage hurt anyone else’s?

When someone says “marriage is just a piece of paper. It doesn’t take away your love for each other”…then why are people so set on destroying it?

If it’s “just a piece of paper” then they need to stand in solidarity when my rights get taken away & get a divorce. If my marriage isn’t that big of a deal, then neither is theirs.

The PRRI survey (shared by Elle Emme in the comments here) came up with a very different result - 67% of Americans supporting same-sex marriage. I'm pretty leery of polls in general these days - you really have to dig into their methodology and political leanings to see what biases they may have, and who has the time in this dumpster fire.

Thank you for this! :) In general, I’m not very trusting in polls either. Even without Aaron mentioning stats, it’s the fact that same sex marriage is even up for debate at all just evokes such a strong sense of emotion that’s hard to ignore sometimes. There shouldn’t even be a survey to say who approves of my marriage. In my original post I said it was degrading…but honestly it’s worse than that.

Johnson’s staffer was playing a drinking game. Take a shot every time Trump lies.

I would've played that game too except I was afraid of alcohol poisoning ... and I didn't watch it either. A little fun gummy and happy movie and I was off to LA LA land

I live in Missouri and my tubes are tied, but that news makes me want to undo that and then start having spite abortions. 🤷‍♀️ (obviously I’m being hyperbolic, please don’t come for me)

Dental is the thing I actually really fucking need dude. Like bruh.

Dental care is so important to a persons medical health. Sepsis can occur, endocarditis, etc. Not covering dental can cost way more in the long run. Just stupid.

When I was 16 I had a root canal gone wrong, it punctured my nasal cavity and it had a blood infection and I almost died. Like it’s insane.

I've heard of that. It's scary

Right, infections following dental work can be lethal. My husband ended up in surgery and ICU for 4 days after a wisdom tooth extraction gone wrong. dental care is not something to cut.

I came here to say this too!

They don't care. I doubt any one of them has ever worried about how they're going to pay for something as critical as dental care or health care. Dental hygiene is crucial in preventimg other health issues.i I'm so angry!

I agree they think drinks and other things will help them and trump will go away. But they sold their souls to this devil. Live with your consequences.

Meanwhile - this polls paints a different message for same sex marriage. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/04/nx-s1-5316305/new-survey-shows-67-of-americans-support-same-sex-marriage

Law and order only matters to Mike Johnson when it doesn’t apply to him, or anyone he knows.

Law and order only applies to POC and women and LGBTQ+ but not white privleged men.

Now hospitals will be swamped with dui emergencies? Because its okay to drink and drive, no consequences. Also just thanks again for what you do, Asron.

We can see it is increasingly difficult for you to report the real-time dismantling of ____________ … without being a little rattled. 🇨🇦

Thank you for repeating what you have already reported on in these evening and morning rundowns. A lot of us are very busy and cannot consume your reporting as often as you report. These rundowns are crucial for us not only for that reason, but also for our mental health. Many of us cannot handle the onslaught of breaking news as it's reported. So again thank you for repeating what you report during the day during these rundowns. I greatly appreciate you.

I remember DT’s campaign message that Kamala would cause WWIII! I suppose that was his way of saying that he in fact will start us in the pathway to WWIII!

Look up Projection Mirroring. He was doing that through out his whole campaign. Saying everything that she would do, was actually what he would do.

Not the dental! They literally just started covering that for adults in the last few years! Preventative dental coverage actually SAVES money, since folks can have their teeth taken care of before they get bad or infected, resulting in costly ER visits and potential hospital stays.

I took my 2 sons to the dentist this past year. It was their first time in a few years because their pediatric dentist wouldn't take him back (because they have all their adult teeth now) and I wasn't able to get them into the ONE place in our area that accepted our insurance. My mother offered to help cover the cost and got them into her dentist where we had to pay out of pocket. For my youngest the initial visit with exam and xrays came to $550. He had 9 cavities that needed to be filled at $250 - $300 a pop. When all was said and done, we spent over $3,000. And this was after doing the same for his older brother, who thankfully only had 1 cavity, but unfortunately needed braces so that was another $1,500 (fortunately he only needed top braces or it would have been double that) Granted, I know Medicaid wouldn't have covered the braces, but if that was the only thing I had to pay out of pocket for, it would have been much more doable. And the orthodontist at least offered a payment plan. The dentist did not. Most people on Medicaid cannot afford to pay out of pocket and most are not as fortunate as I was to have family to help cover the cost.

Why are they gutting the VA so much? I honestly thought that vets (by and large) are Trump supporters. It’s so awful

Expand full comment

He’s already in office and no longer needs their votes. I personally think they are hopeful that recipients of VA benefits, Medicaid, Medicare and social security die so there’s less to pay out which helps offset the 4.5T tax cut to big corps and the uber wealthy.

He/they want to privatize it.
