I dropped mine off at my library’s ballot drop box. I know people use it but I don’t usually run into anyone. This time: 8 people there when I was on a weekday midmorning. #yeson50

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Is there anything about this administration that isn’t fishy?

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

This was a very pointed political message and I love it.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Sir, make all the scenes you want. I appreciate the backup. Honestly, I thought I had blocked him, because really, everyone has better things to gs to do than listen to that prattle.

What I’m finding hilarious here is that he thinks he’s scoring points by calling me dude. Cis gender woman with a lot of queer friends and even more basic human decency, here. But I don’t give a fuck what he calls me. I’m from California, we call everything dude. Dude is gender neutral here.

Ma’am, you should get some help for those anger issues. Sorry daddy didn’t love you enough.

God, I’d love a parent I could do this with. Mine’s in the cult.

I got the email Monday my ballot was on the way. I’ll have that thing turned around and in a ballot box within 5 minutes.

Again, shan’t. You have every freedom to scroll on by.

Aw, aren’t you clever calling attention to a typo? 🙄

No, shan’t.

He’s my rep and I swear to god he’d better be telling the truth or I’m goo going to be lighting up his phone lines for getting our hopes up.
