Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

Maybe this is a new thing they do but I can’t recall ever quoting a ‘cardiac age’ to any patient, even on insurance physicals. With tRump he usually finds a way to tip his hand, I think he’s got some serious heart issues with his exactly “14 years younger” cardiac status.

Funny how the guy who is deporting brown people is ok with helping Argentina and training Qatari soldiers. Weird what flattery and free planes can buy you. 🙄

A little happy news- we were able to get Atticus pulled off death row!! He’s a little spicy but probably just scared. He’s coming home tomorrow and the bonding process will begin. Isn’t he a gorgeous big boy?!

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social
wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

#PaperClipCampaign

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.

Thiel delivered a talk where
he called oversight a satanic threat that would destroy the world and Silicon Valley’s resistance to limits as a holy war, good versus evil, led, in his words, by 'one of the great Christians of our time': himself.
-His spokesperson, did not dispute these recordings.

No one believes me when I say #AmericasOnLifeSupport. Health professionals can’t save you when we are being systematically undermined & kneecapped at every turn.
#KeepEmSick is one of the ways to subdue a population & avoid uprisings. You think COVID was bad? At least we had a functioning CDC & FDA.

I genuinely wonder how #TemuGoebbels thinks this going to end. The real Goebbels ended his story murdering his 5 kids in Hitler’s bunker before shooting his wife, then himself & had their bodies burned so the people couldn’t abuse their corpses for revenge like they did w Mussolini.
