High protein lemon raspberry waffles with real raspberries. I put a smear of high protein coconut yogurt over the top and, oh my goodness, heaven for breakfast.

I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL" BEING USED AS AN INSULT.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

Like I said

This is why your government is shut down. They’re waiting for the Supreme Court to pass the voters rights act or strike it down.

I can tell you the outcome is not going to be good guys

Marching for 1 day isn’t gonna fix it. Y’all better be ready to sit down for 30 days or more.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Speaking as someone who had an ectopic pregnancy rupture, this is some epic bullshit. The Catholic doctor who refused to treat a patient with an ectopic is wrong: ectopic pregnancies are never viable and, left untreated, they kill people.

I just got home from Costco, after being at work all day. There are three adults in the house that could have fed these girls but I guess it's not dinner time until I walk through the door.

This is their formal protest. #catsky #dinner #unitedindinner

The right to peacefully protest is guaranteed in the constitution. It is not an insurrection. It is not a crime to peacefully protest an authoritarian regime.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.

Give me a break, Mike. The opposite is true, and you damn well know it.

You call it “historic and heroic,” but what you’re really bragging about is Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation blueprint to gut democracy, hand unchecked power to one man, and erase social programs.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.
