I want to thank everyone who followed me. Today especially.

ThankYou

If a child were to get every vaccine currently recommended by the AAP, by the time they’re 18 they’ll have had approximately 30mL of vaccine. That’s the volume of about three ketchup packets. Over 18 years.

Please help us.

I think of the military as conservative, but see glimmers of hope. Believe me, if you knew me the last thing you’d expect me to say is our military is our last line of defense. GOP Congress are thugs, SCOTUS is an arm of Heritage, the president is astonishingly malevolently stupid with dementia

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

It is unseemly.
Also if you want a peace prize, don’t turn a Gov agency into a paramilitary group invading your own cities. Don’t use a bastardized word to describe anti fascist as a terrorist group. Don’t say Weimar Republic was the original Antifa. We know you mean you think Hitler should have won

That the networks don't have a live feed from Portland running in the corner is journalistic malpractice.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Yes. I’m older than you so I think the nose in the Woody Allen movie”Sleeper”, but “Weekend at Bernie’s” is a more spot on take.

You KNOW they will "Weekend at Bernie's" him as long as they can: remember that in the Republican cult, like with their Russian komrades, every ACCUSATION is a CONFESSION; so whatever they accused Biden's team of is what is happening now. AsseedominafAberAberbyjiannn only good cofefe oranges.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
