Thank you, Ed for including me with these other real patriots!

When corrupt politicians start going to jail, then we can start trusting the government again.

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. 🤣
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.
This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

When it comes to redrawing maps that expand Republican power, Adam Kincaid is your artist. His most recent work? Texas’ mid-decade gerrymander that could secure five more GOP seats in Congress. And today, he’ll defend it in court.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Prayers for Dolly! This world is so much better with her in it!

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Trump started it & the spineless cowards formerly known as the GOP & his sycophants push it. A judge's house burned to the ground, an FBI trainee fired for flying the Pride flag at their home, unaffordable healthcare, families torn apart, this regime revels in the violence #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Picture of the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021 and Trump with a thumbs up gesture. Followed by the words: If we're going to talk about political violence, Let's talk about where it started and who started it.
