I've now had eight birthdays since I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Thanks to a selfless stem cell donor, I expect to have many more.

Here's the story:

They are always the heroes of their own fictional narrative.

Seems like this is something that would at least need Congressional approval, no?

How long does it take to build a military base? Probably not less than three years. We'll have a new president then. Does this just get shut down then or is this a harbinger of something more ominous?

Good of Spanberger to draw out those comments. Normally Republicans are more obfuscated with their discrimination.

And now, with a special election in Tennessee coming in early December, they may delay her swearing in until after that, hoping the TN seat is won by the Republican.

All the more reason to get out and support @aftynbehn.bsky.social for the win in TN-7.

Let's see who in the Trump administration just took a large short position today.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Seems to be consistent that someone advancing autocracy would not be seriously considered for the award.

"They can play technicalities"...

or maybe they don't give the peace prize to someone killing people on fishing boats in international waters, or someone stoking chaos and sending the military into American cities just for the cosplay.

The sense of entitlement here is off the charts. This is pathetic.

I wish the average American was this well informed.

We are in such a bad place. Congress is willingly, eagerly ceding the authority it alone possesses according to the constitution.

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.

Trump thinks if he makes everyone else a criminal then his own 34 felony convictions will be essentially moot.

I think Marsha is a little concerned about what her phone records might show. 🤔

"In Your Love", a really beautiful song. The song itself is neutral but the video caused MAGA heads to explode.

How many "no name" artists are doing stadium tours? 🤔

And he's one of the few authentically talented artists doing country music today. He's a genuine from-the-heart songwriter, which is rare these days.

This may be AI, but if you want to see a similar castle in real life look at the Adolfsturm in Friedberg, Germany.

So, questions for Ms. Bondi:

Why are anti-fascists (antifa) such a threat to this administration?

Is antifa a membership based group? How much are annual dues? Do you get a membership card? Where is this organization headquartered?

Who makes up the leadership of antifa?

We need answers.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

They are so eager to punish people for imaginary crimes. 🙄

Cohen has been a good progressive rep serving for many years and he should be commended for his service. But Pearson has youth, passion, and energy at a time when that has momentum. The younger generation is ready for their time in Congress. Cohen should take a gracious bow and endorse Pearson.
