Besides removing Trump's name from everything he puts it on, I'd like to see the next Dem admin exhume Rubio's parents from the Miami cemetery where they're buried and repatriate them to Cuba.
Q: Do you stand by your statement from earlier this year that nobody has died from USAID cuts?
RUBIO: I'm very proud of the changes we've made in foreign aid

Perfect visual and choice. @juliesulabor.bsky.social doesn't just talk about working people-she fights for them with relentless creativity. I've seen her integrity and ingenuity firsthand.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Two people were killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at Brown University Saturday and the suspect remains at large, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said.
The injured victims are in critical condition, but stable, and students remain under lockdown.

If you're wondering what happened to Nate Silver, he was into the COVID lab leak theory and got negative feedback online, including from epidemiologists and virologists and (GASP!) posters, which added to his belief that The Woke are victimizing Nate Silver. It spiraled from there.

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Dems still don't realize how historically bad a candidate Hillary was. Like, laughably bad - so much so there was no chance of her being elected. She would have lost to a papier mache bust of James Buchanon. And while I still voted for her, I hated every second of it.
