It’s flooding down in Virginia and Arizona. If you live in Ghent, move your cars to free parking lots. Stay out of washes AZ even if they’re dry. Stay safe family & friends.

G. Elliott Morris: "CNN's head data reporter distorts polling about Trump"

"From my short experience with television news, I can say there is a broader tendency in the industry to sensationalize findings to keep viewers engaged. And that’s just baked into the business model. TV is funded by ads, and you only sell ads if people are watching your program. You really have to sell the numbers to all the grandmas watching cable news, or they’re going to change the channel."

My black daughter in law told me in the last election that she didn’t like the LBQGT being shoved down her throat. I said, ….. my grandma said the same thing about black people during desegregation. Maybe Mrs. Sears should read some civil rights history.

Hey. I see you just worked with my Senator, Todd Young on a bill. If you see him can you tell I’m still waiting to find out why he’s destroying our country and when stopped loving America. Also, his newsletter has a typo. Maybe we need the Dept of Education after all

I saw your interview about the President Pedophiles government shutdown. Let’s get it straight. There is a shutdown b/c the pedophile in the White House doesn’t want the Epstein Files out. It has nothing do with spending. His disengagement is Alzheimer’s

McKenna @equalityhawks.bsky.social · 1d

I know. What were we thinking?
Amazing how many people are willing to die for a pedophile.

I’ve never ever in my 61 years of being alive, thought that I would tell my children, “Don’t listen to our government. They’re trying to kill you.”

THEY ARE LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL US!

Just a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs. It could end this madness any day they chose to discover their power.

Our governors and us are all that stands between authoritarianism and democracy.

We will not tolerate a king in America.

Social media post:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to
protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker
I will not back down.
Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected
representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown
authoritarianism?

The woman caller was a Republican.
She didn't know they would come for her too.
But they're coming for everyone - unless you're a billionaire, that is.

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson:
"I have two medically fragile children ... lf
we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my
children do not get the medication that's
needed for them to live their life because
we live paycheck to paycheck."

When a mother calls C-SPAN and pleads
with Mike Johnson, "My kids could die ...
you could stop this," it tells you everything
you need to know about his party.
