Republicans are doing nothing to stop waste, fraud, and abuse unless they are talking about resigning and conceding to their democratic opponents because they are the ones responsible for it. Every accusation is a confession. Everything they try to take credit for are democratic policies.

@weeknightwriters.bsky.social Whew! Wrote about 3 1/2 pages on one story than looked over one I just have a few paragraphs on and wrote about 1 1/2 pages on that. An unexpected bonus. That was four pages for the day, a mark I don't always hit but it's nice when it happens!

A lifelong racist, spawned by a racist, also spawned by a racist, is a grotesque RACIST—it was definitely RACIST (intended). Trump will never recover from the fact that a Black man is smarter, more educated, and more respected than himself. Also, that Obama is not a child rapist in Epstein’s files.
