Writing in general, and my limericks in particular, have always been an effort not to make money, but to make a difference. With that in mind, I’ve decided to donate 50% of my royalties each month for #FridayLimericks2024: Mistakes Were Made to a cause that matters to me. (Thread)

These are the pictures Bondi was asked about. She did not deny.
“..the three that I remember are two in which topless young women, and I don’t know the ages of these women, but they are young, are sitting in Trump’s lap.”

Since Republicans are doing everything they can to take away healthcare from millions, we should return the favor. What do you think?

👻 Trump’s policies are haunting our economy.

Thanks to trump’s tariff war, Halloween trick-or-treaters may be coming home with much lighter or even empty bags.

Federal judge ruled Ice Agents have to have identification and wear badges while on the job in Illinois unless they are undercover.
Ruling also said they cannot use bullets and pepper spray against peaceful protesters and journalists.

Mikey is lying through his teeth

The facts are there - Republicans are trying to take away the healthcare of millions to fund tax breaks for their rich friends.

Happy Friday, Antifa warriors! 🥂🩵

Funny meme with a picture of an "Antifa" headquarters that reads:

Just got to my desk at Antifa. I can't believe Karen in HR scheduled the mandatory Molotov cocktail safety training today.
Nobody feels like that shit on a Friday.

🧨First photo of #Trump learning he didn’t win the #NobelPeacePrize

BUT instead it was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader
#MariaCorinaMachado for
"promoting democracy, and opposing dictatorship.”

Blowing up Venezuelan boats without cause doesn’t go over so well.

Who does Johnson think he’s fooling?! Dude sent the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files, and he’s keeping them away for the same reason.

Congress is still getting paid, but Johnson won’t bring the House back to fund the military. This is on him, not the Democrats.

Peace comes through empowering the people, not by subduing them. Machado is a worthy recipient.
