Lefty all my life. I was against the criminal Vietnam "police action" and the costly and downright stupid "war on drugs." Now against the Palestinian genocide, Trump's ongoing attack on our freedom, etc.
I was persuaded to see Wicked: For Good. Let's just say "Good" was a poor choice of words. It isn't as bad as the first one, though, so that's something. The simple plot was hurt by a muddled script, and casting Ariana Grande wasn't a strong lead; Margot Robbie would have knocked it out of the park.

Why don't so-called reporters ask sharp-edged questions to lawmakers? How about, "Congressman, why have you and your GOP colleagues ceded all of your power to Donald Trump? Why have you allowed him to turn this country into a police state? What purpose are you, as a lawmaker, actually serving now?"

Re: Trump and the Epstein files. Does anyone really believe Trump will suffer any consequences from the release of the files? Not a chance.

Every time I see pics of Trump's interior decorating debacle I think of the comment I read years back, made by someone who visited Graceland, Elvis Presley's home: "It looks like someone spent a million dollars at Sears."

These are bad, but is any one worse than the others: Trump's obvious attempt to be king? The illegal assaults and arrests of people the Trump police state is targeting? The right-wing fanatics who want to "restore Christian values" -- a soft term for "shove our religious views down your throat"?

California is putting up $140 million in order to keep state Planned Parenthood facilities open. This comes after the US Govt cut their funding.
Three other states are also giving money to the organization, and more are considering doing the same.

Let's restart that previous post: I just read a NYT article where Lisa Murkowski (who else?) admitted that her Congressional colleagues had voluntarily given all their power to Trump, and "that’s not a good signal to the American public.” No shit, Lisa.

I don't know the answer to "What can we do about Trump's many offenses?", but as to his tearing down the White House...WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Where are the "lawmakers"? The only comment I've found from prominent politicians is from Hillary Clinton, who said that Trump is "destroying" the White House.
