I spotted a difference between Donald Trump and his audience yesterday:
"I'm 87 years old. I've seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I've been celebrated, and I've been branded an enemy of the state. But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life." - Jane Fonda

Also, they're squandering hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a WH ballroom, Quatari jet retrofit for the president and a recall of ALL U.S. flag officers so they could sit in D.C. for 90 minutes listening to the POTUS and SecDef complain about fat soldiers and "woke" policies.

These lies are pissing me off.
This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants – that’s already against the law.

Before being appointed by Trump to prosecute Comey, Lindsey Halligan was evaluating exhibits at the Smithsonian. She said of slavery: "[Y]ou can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress...." 🙄 Check out Newsweek's headline.

I visited my alma mater (Indiana University-Bloomington) on 9/18/25 to hear Pete Buttigieg speak. The auditorium was packed with 3,200 people of all ages. It did my heart good to see Pete get a standing ovation at both the start and end of his appearance. In ruby-red Indiana! ❤️👏🙌
