Thank you to whoever put me on their list. Lot's of new followers. I don't know who it is, but this old lady thanks you.

I live in Florida. The influence of Cuban Americans & their unwarranted sense of entitlement makes me thrilled every time one of them is caught up in these unconstitutional detentions. They blindly support Republicans & actively denigrate other POC at every turn. Good riddance to another MAGA scum.

Yeah, because so many were from Trump 1.0. Trust is broken. These words mean nothing because those they are meant for decided they will win so they don't believe them & the rest of us are no longer listening to Jeffries or Schumer.

Idiot no. Flippin' narcissistic lunatic yes. She's my rep.

Can't say it's not great that the Yankees' loss keeps hope alive that America's pastime may have a Canadian team win it all. ETTD.

My god, Andrew Cuomo is just awful. & Rhule let him get away with so many self-serving revisions to what is on record. Disappointed especially when he was allowed to claim that weak Democrats are the reason Trump is sending the National Guard to cities. He has nothing to offer but failed policies.

As much as it pains me, the Democrats should promise her immediate parole if she has those Trump blackmail tapes. Tell her that once he's impeached they will pass a special bill if necessary. Beat Trump to the punch.

That movie both freaked me out & depressed me. Brilliant in every respect. It's decades later & I still remember much of it. And it's not a movie I watched more than once.

Am I crazy? It seems to me Democrats might do well to explain their budget refusal is also because Trump is not honoring expenditures in the previously passed budget. That is irrefutable & has no ties to immigration. Tell people that every other President follows the budget as the law he signed.

When you think Kristen Welker is awful enough, you find Andrea Mitchell on her panel & it's even worse.

When & if we escape our current crime wave by ICE & associated agencies, there must be consequences for every police agency, district attorneys, & politicians who allowed the lawlessness to occur. Defund the police since they choose not to protect their own residents. LEO protect themselves only.

This is a pretty good visual representation, but the YELLOW cup should be the size of a small shot glass. (but for those of us with poor eyesight, it works)

The GOP is lying. They are distracting from their failures to address the health care crisis that they created.

Want more proof the stock market is the billionaires' playground? With a government shutdown looming & another hit to the US credit rating certain, the stock indexes closed up today. Tax the rich until there are no billionaires. Tax the rich. The oligarchy we have become must end.

In the grand scheme of life, missing out because you placed 17 instead of 16 which you say is because of transgender competition is not life-changing for you. For that athlete, acceptance can be life-changing or life affirming. (15 bio women did beat you too)

So, where are the so-called geniuses who can orchestrate a DNS attack? We all know it can be done.

The fact that these Chat AI apps are mostly written by teams of men is so disconcerting. A while ago I started noticing the prevalence of AI fiction on Facebook. Most of it portrays horrendous violence against women by family. Seems designed to normalize extreme domestic violence. Written by incels?

Well, Portland Police, how about doing your job & arresting the Federal goons who assault peaceful demonstrators? Your job is literally to protect the citizens who pay your salary. Grow a pair & stand up for our rights.

Never downloaded it. Something told me there was nothing good about a Chinese-owned site that seems designed to spread propaganda & to be addictive.

Vegas was my favorite place to visit for years. But my last trip was boring because I have done most of the free/cheaper stuff. At least at my local casino I can get fed for under $50 or see a show with a lesser known entertainer without wincing. No in-room coffee pot or fridge? Unacceptable.

Aww. Are the poor widdle babies mad they are suffering the consequences of their vote? Zero sympathy. Zero empathy. Just like they have shown to the rest of the country. Maybe one of your mega-church pastors will send some aid your way. BTW, not everyone with a well-stocked freezer & pantry is MAGA.

Hard to believe we are 3 years away from maybe ditching the tyrant. My mind did a double take when I realized we are still in year 1 of this administration.

Everything is so broken. Just tried to create my f'in "gov login". Can't do it. System inoperable. Which means I can't get to some info I need on the SSA site. Used my same login & (new) passwords for years there. No longer valid. Sick of these so-called enhanced security measures. It's all theater.

Not enough to force women to carry all pregnancies to term. They must also suffer fever, pain, etc without relief regardless of consequences to woman or fetus. All according to the people now in charge of our nation. God I have never hated so many so much.
