💖 October is Cancer Awareness Month — a time to honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and recommit to fighting this disease.

I’m proud to support initiatives that expand access to screenings, improve cancer research, and provide resources for patients and families.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

The skeptic about the importance of the Epstein files:

“3 military invasions of US cities, a military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things have distracted us, that we are now convinced whatever’s in there, is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.”

This photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a minister, protecting his community, is going to be a defining picture of this moment in American history for a long, long time.

The outright defiance by the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer questions by a U.S. Senator, about the U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan allegedly taking a cash $50k bribe, is outrageous!
We need honesty and transparency!

STATEMENT ABOUT OCTOBER 7TH

We should all feel the pain of the world’s worst mass shooting done which was perpetrated for nothing more than pure hate. Let’s work together to end the violence, at home and abroad. Let’s never forget the lives impacted and lost.

Well, since JD Vance said, the stupid AI generated image of @repjeffries posted by Trump was “funny, a joke, just having a good time”, and not racist, we have to wonder if he would find this stupid doctored photo of Epstein and Trump in sombreros, equally ha-ha funny. 🤣🤣🤣
