I have collected lots of years but am young at heart. I am progressive. I value civil rights, voting rights, and rule of law. My body, my choice. I align with the opposition coalition.

The worst thing about the Noem firing is that the #Epstein files still have not been fully released.

Oh.

β€œWe have agreed” β€” how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Seems troubling.

More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

Republicans love to call themselves the party of law, but reality suggests otherwise. Truth is they expect Democrats to obey the law while Republicans are exempt.

I propose a new law:

Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

I charged my EV last night (from 20 percent to 100 percent) and it cost me about $17.

Beyond the no gas, the car just rides so beautifully. Got it in July and cannot imagine ever going back to gas car.

Trump has the most useless, unqualified, corrupt administration in American history. And it starts at the very top with Donald Trump, guilty of all the above.
