I just assumed she was writing what she said, yet it sounded kind of pretentious for her. Now that you mention it, I'd bet dollars to donuts it's Stephen Miller is writing what she says.

W hen I workrd with other young women, we used to say that too. When several got pregnant, we joked it was from using that phrase. We decided adding "walking backwards" would keep that from happening. Seemed to work, lol. "Fck me, walking backwards!" 🤣

Same here. The Saudis are the most repressive branch of Islam. I think it's appalling that their oil wealth & the greed of the Trump crime syndicate have made them acceptable to the rest of the world.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Trump—Mr. Art of the Deal—hasn’t been able to cut a deal for the most basic government functions.

Republicans bowed down to Trump, and now people all across this country will suffer.

I ask my Republican colleagues to grow a spine and stand up for Americans.

Well I missed that one. I think I'm kind of glad. I would imagine there's not much love between those two women. Before Loomer came along MTG was in with Trump.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress just shut down the government.

Why? They don’t want to lower your health care costs.

Graphic Copy:
The government just ran out of money.
How’d we get here?
We're in a health care emergency and costs are going up.
Republicans would rather shut down the government than work with democrats to save health care.
Republicans won’t even come to the table to negotiate, and Trump is telling them “don’t bother.”

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.

If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

He has written a lot of Trump's speeches and he is the architect of the immigration policies, starting with the Muslim ban. He acts like a white supremacist, but his mother's family came to America from Belarus, speaking only Russian & Yiddish. (He's Jewish)

If you're looking for a way to make a difference until October 18th, we could use all hands on deck to call the GOP senators in your state. Please help us mount pressure, reinforce that this is THEIR shutdown THEY caused and demand they work with the Dems to fix it.

This is great. Can you also help federal workers who are not getting paid because the GOP wants to take healthcare away from taxpayers and hide the Epstein File?
