Donald Trump called this the "golden age of America."

For who?

Grocery prices are up.
Rent is up.
Utility costs are up.
Health care costs are up.

The only people β€œwinning bigger than ever” under Donald Trump are his billionaire donors in the Epstein class.

The rest of us are getting screwed.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

What does aging with wit + wisdom look like?

It looks like shouting β€œI’M EIGHTY!” in the streets of Paris. πŸ‡«πŸ‡·βœ¨

Melinda Blau is 82 and absolutely delicious. Author of The Wisdom Whisperers, she’s still writing, still questioning, still challenging ageism & still learning from women in their 90s.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Slotkin gets Todd Lyons on record saying there's no purpose for ICE to be involved in elections (tho he does say that HSI does investigation voting fraud).

He doesn't quite say he would refuse.

The most blatantly corrupt gangster government in American history. Where are congressional Republicans on this stuff? Nowhere to be found. Vote them ALL out.
