A high risk pregnant woman in Texas is advised to go out of state prior to delivery.

She learns about the abortion ban & how it puts women’s lives at risk.

She regrets her vote.

Rather than provide support, her husband insults the “liberal doctor” and refuses to leave Texas. 1/2

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

We don't use ECMO in Vet med usually...too expensive.

Give me the directions and I can run any machine...I guarantee you that. ECMO is a machine. A vent is a machine. I ran high speed envelope folding machines in college. I guarantee you they were more complex.

I am not arrogant, I am self assured. I don't ever claim to be able to something I am not sure I am capable of.

This is a surgeon mentality and I am, at heart, a surgeon. Others ALWAYS consider surgeons arrogant...they cannot stand our self assurance....they are jealous of our conviction. You cannot be a surgeon and be weak minded...things die.

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

basically LA is going broke, a lot of that is because of liabilities from lawsuits against LAPD, those payments come from the general fund, not LAPD's already bloated budget

to offset these problems the city is going to steal your wages

abolish LAPD.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Ep. 18: September to Remember
October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min
Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE
