tRUMP DID NOT WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE!
Norway is worried about the fallout from not pacifying him by ‘awarding’ his demands.
If more people had done this when he was growing up, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.

Who am I watching on MSNBC?!? She looks & sounds exactly like MTG. But that can't be possible. She's making sense. Am I having a Stroke? She was appalled at Speaker Johnson for not calling Congress back to Swear in AZs Adelita Grijalva. Then she said they had to do something about Healthcare. WTF? 💙

This WH liaison's actions were a clear attempt to exert power and create an uncomfortable, potentially unsafe situation for his co-worker.

A human resources complaint was eventually filed, but was retracted days later, as she feared retaliation. No one is safe.

Irony of ironies. Trump is pressuring Norway for a peace prize.

“His campaign has thrust Oslo into an uncomfortable spotlight, with media and observers worrying about the diplomatic and economic fallout should the Norwegian Nobel Committee snub him.”

It’s unsettling that instead of investing in inclusive education, therapy access, and family support, some are fixated on analyzing autistic children’s bodies. Autism is not a moral or physical flaw—it’s a neurotype. The real crisis is neglecting their rights, not their anatomy. #Pink

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 18h

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

This is as succinct a statement about the decision our citizens will need to make in the coming 9 days. Many of us are already on record. How many are still convinced or perhaps unaware of what’s happening in the country?
Which side are you on?

www.oregonlive.com/politics/202... #ProudBlue. Kristie Noem came to Portland expecting to see a “hell hole” and “city on fire” just like her Master Trump claimed. Instead she was met with plushies and a guy in a chicken suit. Noem wants her blood in the streets and By God she will make it so.

Kristi Noem calls Oregon leaders liars, says feds will ‘double down’ in Portland

The remarks came two days after Noem made an appearance Tuesday at South Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, the site of protests since June.

Thanks, Rep. Jeffries. Everyone, Red or Blue, who values our democracy and rule of law needs to go on record opposing Trump's unprecedented attempt to establish a dictatorship in America wherever it rears its ugly head.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Johnson is lying and he knows it.His claim of “illegal aliens” receiving Medicare and Medicade is simply not true. It is true that hospitals are required to treat any patient that presents in an ER but they do not recieve Medicade. Johnson would love to see sick people die by the millions #ProudBlue

#ICE & everyone playing backup roles to these domestic terrorists aren’t treating anyone with respect. They believe we all are lying about our “papers” which previously we were told to keep safe & now are expected to carry with us. Makes me ashamed to be a citizen

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.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Dems have a 5-2 majority on the PA Supreme Court, but 3 Dem justices are up for retention. In Nov. voters can vote yes/no on whether to retain them. If any justices aren’t retained, an election to name their successor will take place in 2027.
