  • 2 things that made me feel better -

    1. Tucker complaining about Mitch not being maga enough this week- there’s so much infighting in their party that even when they agree on the desired outcome the path is so muddy that it’s often slow and messy.

    2. We have a real opportunity (obligation) to help the people who will be hardest hit by this. As much as i want to pull the covers over my head or drink myself into political amnesia, there are other people who really need help. It’s small, but i found 3 things i can do - I’ll look more into the Auntie Network, they help women traveling for reproductive healthcare - When I’m cleaning out my mom’s house I’ll donate items to groups that directly help my community instead of trying to sell on marketplace - I’ll look for ways to offer support to my school kids in immigrant families. They’re often afraid to take kids to the doc because they don’t want to be ‘in the system.’ Find resources I can offer/recommend to them.













  • Yeah. Worried about having to dip into savings for monthly expenses. I’m in Texas, so energy costs are always a concern. As you mentioned, concerned about delays and decreases in social security and Medicare in the future. I guess I’ll leave money where it is, try to reduce spending, and try to increase liquid savings.
