To Bondi, Trump, MAGAS and the rest of the cult. You are insulting the intelligence of the American people. Covering up for Trump but not releasing or acknowledging the Epstein files is a perfect example. We all know and you know we know the truth--Trump is a pedophile.

My MAGA neighbor just put his tail between his legs and told me that he will be registering as a Democrat. That decision was based on Bondi's Senate testimony today. He is furious at the lies, the obstruction and mostly the disrespect she showed. I hope it spreads.

The Democratic Party is oblivious to the urgent need for effective messaging.

Good luck having a #conservative #surgeon functioning when #ID physicians are banned from determining #antibiotic regimens for complex #sepsis emergencies 😂

No money to DNC from me until I see some effective action. They need some fresh air, some fearless messengers and new leadership. Yesterday

No more donations to the DNC from me. They have failed the party and the country by their lack of effective messaging and messengers. Show results or get new people who know how to do it.

Hogsbreath's speech was frightening and unbelievable in a democracy.

Leave Powell's Books in Portland alone. In fact, maybe some of those dudes should go to that wonderful store, pick up some history books and learn something.

Regarding Coney--I hope Trump and Bondi are prepared to lose this case.

I have to do them next. Thanks for the reminder.

A quick search asking for Sinclair stations in my area led to a quick email to the stations telling them I will not watch their stations. I then found their advertisers and sent them a message that I will not be purchasing their products unless and until they quit advertising on Sinclair.

Clearly, Trump an RFKjr hate women. Without evidence they want women to not take Tylenol while pregnant. So if a pregnant woman gets a fever from an infection, they can just burn up. Not good for the fetus.

Sorry ABC, Disney, you lost me as a shareholder and a client. That also goes for most of your advertisers. There are plenty of other choices.

No one tells him NO or challenges his lies, except a few governors. Every lie he makes about President Biden or his sons must be challenged. That would be a start.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the Democratic Party is capitulating to Trump and his policies and cult? I didn't buy into this.

The photo shows two powerful men and their prostitute wives. Hardly good role models for our female children.

That is the real question. It would help if the Democrats would strongly message on the economy, especially food items. Next, expect all healthcare expenses to go sky high. The insurance companies are anticipating more chronic diseases which will cost a lot.

While the Democratic Party is fighting itself (NY mayoral race) the right is taking over the messaging. The DNC, old school Democrats in congress, and anyone with their head in the sand need to be creative (like Gov Newsome) and change the rhetoric. Otherwise, we lose our democracy.

The media has allowed itself to be intimidated by Trump and as a result will not ask the hard questions. We need strong, honest, and intelligent journalism NOW. Corporate media has blood on its hands.

What to do? A business has elected to fly the American flag at half staff in honor of Kirk. Normally, I would not do business with them, however they have something (Tesla chargers) that are the only ones in town. I will probably charge there, but not buy anything in their store.

How are we going to stop him? No one likes Trump, yet he keeps getting worse by the day. I blame much of this on the weak media and even weaker Republican members of congress and senate. The DNC is in a lingering coma, so forget them. What can we effectively do to stop this evil ?

I may be wrong, but I hope not. I think Trump will fire RFKjr or force his resignation soon. Trump does not like to look bad and,today we saw how bad he looked for appointing such a fool to a cabinet position.

I decided some years ago not to ever again travel to Florida. There is no way I want any of my money to go towards such a backward state.

I am old enough to remember a young child with diphtheria who was brought to the ER of a hospital where I worked. Most frightening thing I ever saw and so avoidable. The parents did not believe in vaccines and almost lost their child over ignorance. Science is not perfect, which is why it works.
