I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

BREAKING: Former Senator Bob Menendez has been sentenced to 11 YEARS IN PRISON on federal bribery and corruption charges.

Because only ONE party, Democrats, believes in holding criminals in our midst accountable.

Question for OPM: about 30% of federal workers at the VA are Veterans. They were given a preference for hiring because they're Veterans. Disabled Veterans got a higher preference.

They are DEIA hires.

Are you going to fire them all? Are you going to end Veterans preference?

This is why we do one thing every day.
Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out—
     
Because they were already coming for DEI, unions, gay marriage, EPA regulations, food safety, climate change, gun control, federal disaster relief, lower drug prices, books, journalists, protestors, trans people & contraception.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

BREAKING: The Senate has just voted to confirm Pete Hegseth, a drunken, out-of-control abuser, as the weakest Secretary of Defense in history.

This was the closest vote for SecDef, needing the weird couch guy to break the tie.

It's a sad day for America.
Hegseth is a DUI hire.

Hey white maga women… DEI objectives benefit white women more than any other group. Without parameters, white men will continue to unfairly rule the world. So much #FAFO in our future.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress.

Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

For the rest of my life I will never understand how MAGA is so furious about Dr. Fauci, who saved many lives, being pardoned by President Biden, but they're thrilled about January 6th thugs, who beat cops with flagpoles, being pardoned by trump.

Whatever happens, never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So always make time to share books with kids, and help them find books to love. Make reading central to everything you do. It will change their lives forever!
