Sometimes I forget I’m not young anymore. I coached soccer, was a Scout den leader, & a religious Ed teacher. I enjoy family time & love watching my grandkids play sports. I believe people should help one another. I was called chatterbox as a kid.

“We chose Karoline Leavitt to be his godmother over my own sister- just because you went to Catholic school doesn’t make you a good Catholic. I’m not the first, I won’t be the last, they’re separating kids from moms every day. Where does it end?”

Very sad. Trump lives in the world of rich people that have stocks that make money. Most of the rest of America can hardly pay their bills because they get minimum wage & don’t have stocks!
Good morning from the only place on earth where you can cut heath insurance for 17 million people, still somehow add $5 trillion to the debt, and call that a big accomplishment. 😒

The oligarchs want political power to advantage their businesses. The autocrat wants key businesses to be controlled by allies in service of strengthening his regime.
These arrangements work out nicely for everyone until the oligarch accidentally falls out of a window.

NEW: Judge Xinis said the administration misrepresented Costa Rica's willingness to accept Abrego Garcia and also failed to produce a "final order of removal" necessary to deport him at all.
His detention under those circumstances is illegal, she said.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.
This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

BIG NEWS: A federal grand jury has AGAIN refused to indict NY AG Letitia James in the Eastern District of Virginia — this time in Alexandria.
This is just a week after the DOJ tried and failed to secure a grand jury indictment in Norfolk.

In a hearing with dog murderer Kristi Noem regarding her inhumane immoral abuse of power, she was asked about the US veterans she has deported and after lying about not deporting veterans, a House member had a veteran she deported on standby on zoom, bam.
She belongs in jail.
