A close-up photo of a Celeste brand frozen pizza box. The box is labeled "Celeste pizza for one," featuring the "Original 4 Cheese" variety. The packaging highlights that the pizza microwaves in minutes and shows a serving suggestion image of a cheesy pizza slice being lifted.
A top-down photo of an unbaked frozen pizza inside clear plastic packaging. The pizza is round with a visible tomato sauce base and very lacking in scattered shredded white cheese on top. The pizza is on a wooden surface, and the cheese appears unevenly distributed.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
The current ceasefire has been a success for Iran since they've been able to keep Hormuz closed without getting bombed for two weeks.
This has been debunked.

Just so you know, this has been debunked.

Every morning, their 94-year-old neighbor would bring βHoneyβ dog treats and cuddles
The elderly woman built a routine of feeding her every day, so much so that after she passed, Honey kept returning to the spot, expecting her to come back.

A picture of Trump with the caption "Donald Trump celebrates 80th birthday in June making him the first president with age that surpasses his IQ."
LoL good one π€£
another day, another thing that makes it blatantly obvious that dems are willing partners in the fascist project
Why doesn't someone simply ask him why the 2020 elections were rigged but the 2024 elections weren't? I'd love to see his explanation for that.
π₯ BREAKING NEWS -
The Onion has reached a deal to completely take over & own Alex Jones' Info Wars.
They will own pretty much everything related to Info Wars; from the name itself to the website address, & everything else in between.
Chalk it up as a big win for the good guys! πππ
I have a question for you that I hope you know. I've been trying to find the amount & figure Janet Mills will cap the cost of prescription drugs for people. So far I've not been able to find the figure.
If you happen to know it please share it.
Thanks. /12 end
And yes, I'm on Medicaid. Colorado Medicaid is pretty awesome. It's VERY good. But it will simply never nationally because red states won't expand Medicaid which IMHO is a literal "crime against humanity" & killing people. Look at Texas for example who still hasn't expanded Medicaid. /11
exchanged before it went public. My doctor's at National Jewish Health & University of Colorado worked their asses off to save my life. The day I was able to join the high risk pools I was laying on a surgical table at 5am.
I believe everyone should have that sort of healthcare. /10
This is why I support single payer Medicare For All. Both bills, Bernie's & Jayapal's would help so many millions of people & save so many lives. It's our path forward. I'll be honest, the ACA literally saved my life. I was one of the first in the whole country to be allowed in the high risk../9
Our elected officials are very much on the take when it comes to big pharma & big healthcare. They also own stock in such things too which is something which needs to be banned entirely. Elected officials have no business owning stock. That's a huge conflict of interest. /8
It's also a contributing factor why we can't have multi-payer healthcare. Health insurance companies need to be fully abolished entirely. They serve no purpose other than to bankrupt people, deny claims, many which are literally life saving, & to make a profit. We're seen as a commodity by them. /7
We live in a country where big healthcare & big pharma is completely entrenched in our government. We literally people on both sides, Democrats & Republicans who are literally taking money from these entities & that's a big contributing factor why we don't have single payer healthcare. /6
And the federal laws covering healthcare aren't written to help big pharma & big healthcare but rather they're written FOR THE PEOPLE. That is opposite of America where here the federal government can't even negotiate the prices of rX & ABX which is some serious predatory Capitalism. /5
Germany unlike America, has VERY strict laws when it comes to corporations, lobbyists, & money. They are WHAT the United States should be. There's no "Citizens United" & prescription drugs cost nearly nothing. In fact, when I'd go to the Apotheke (pharmacy) I NEVER paid for anything. ALL covered. /4
I could speak of it & my experiences for days & it's one of the things which "radicalized" me & become a Socialist.
That said, I don't really believe that it could work in America & please allow me to explain why. This may be a bit long but I hope you come away with knowledge. So let's go! π /3
I've lived under a multi-payer system as a x-pat; Germany for 10 years as I married a German & raised kids under it. My X is a nurse. I can speak first hand about it in a way most American's can't.
I loved it! It was one of the biggest eye openers I've ever experienced. I was just floored. /2
Ok sorry, needed a bit to rest.
Mills supports expansion of the ACA. That is something which will NEVER be "Universal Healthcare" & the reason why is because many red states refuse to expand Medicaid. She's quite vague too on what it is she will do as far as HC is concerned. See below ππ½ /1
I was a SHARP back in my day, skated, freestyled BMX, all that, as a girl in the 80s lol π I never did girly things. Played baseball too, never softball. Fun times.
lol ok that's pretty funny. It's like they're making Susan Collins out to be some bad ass Kung-Fu Jedi or something π
"We" meaning we're all in this together.
Campaign volunteers from all across the country help candidates get elected. Amplifying & platforming those who you support is important regardless of where you live. You can also phone bank too. Hope that helps π
Medicare For All is single payer healthcare. Literally.
