Retired journo/writer, nana, NE based with ties to the EU. I won't be blamed for something some Dem might have done once. I foolishly believed we were old enough to know better than this. Warning: No profile/no posts=no folo. No starterpax! 🇺🇲🇳🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪

Next time, let's vote for someone who has shared the same ups/downs in life as 99% of us and is not a lawbreaker, cheater, thief, fraud, con artist, woman hater or convicted sex assaulter who has never shopped, spent his own money, played w/kids, raised a dog or read a book.

The entire budget for USAID for FY2024 was $35 billion, and it was keeping millions of the world's poorest people fed and alive. Trump just sent $40 billion to Argentina to prop up the fascist chainsaw freak in his upcoming election.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

"If you had, god forbid, somebody on the left who was assassinated"... you mean, god forbid, people like Pres. Kennedy, President McKinley, RFK, MLK Jr., Medgar Evers, William McKinley, Huey Long, Allard Lowenstein, Clementa Pinckney, Melissa Hortman and Harvey Milk, for starters? It's not IF...

I suspect he is warning federal workers from participating in the No Kings Day events, because they plan to hunt them down and fire them. Don't you think? Leave your phone home and take public transport, to prevent leaving a trail.

DeNiro's a genuine New Yorker, an acute American authenticity TFG is incapable of ever being.

I don't know how a guy like Oz can keep his mouth shut when listening to this drivel. No matter what he is pushing at the moment, Oz was a notable cardiologist and knows a few things (to say the least!). This blabbering idiot knows nothing about anything.

I dunno but I keep finding it as a default page, all over the place.

That list used to be pretty short, but now is way too long! No vaccines for infectious disease, no medical research, no clinical research, no/few weather reports, no employment data, few ATCs, no help for college students or colleges, no help for disabled, and no help for the hungry of all ages.

Somebody should tell him the only way he can get to heaven is to stop what he's doing and bring Obama back to undo the damage he's already done.
