Born and raised in Kentucky. Still believe in women’s rights, civil rights, human rights, and democracy. Difficult to see us fighting battles we thought we won decades ago.

📌During his campaign in 2015, Trump said he would replace Obamacare with, quote: "something terrific, phenomenal and fantastic" that would "save money and result in better health care."
Ten years later, he's still got nuthin' and has decided to kill the entire United States government instead.

This is murder. Trump's SS is killing people outright on the street for no fucking reason other than to satisfy Trump's need for cruelty and death.
This is his substitute for not being able to achieve an erection.

This is why I never waste time defending CNN token Abby Phillip, who regularly platforms white supremacist Scott Jennings.

She's throwing shade at Obama because he didn't praise Trump for agreeing to the same peace deal Trump told Bibi to reject when Biden proposed it in 2024.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Careful, but I think wrong on key substance.

"Roberts’s efforts at judicial self-protection—usually called institutionalism—have often simply delayed conservative outcomes"

Equally, Roberts' plan could be to achieve the conservative outcomes, but he is politically astute enough to move gradually.

“THANK YOU TO PRESIDENT PUTIN“
Donald Trump has thanked Vladimir Putin for backing his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize — despite not being awarded it.
Earlier, the Russian president dismissed the Nobel committee’s decision, claiming the prize had “largely lost its prestige.” #TheAsset @kyivpost.com

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.
