Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

Trump’s misguided idea that he won by a landslide does not allow him to ride roughshod.
Majorities disapprove of his handling of crime, immigration, foreign policy, the economy & trade. Overwhelming majorities reject his efforts to censor broadcasters he disagrees with.
He’s a…DISASTER.

Thousands of words, often unintelligible, flow out of Trump’s mouth, the same blah, blah…but these?
These set off alarm bells:
“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military”, the President said.
Different & dangerous‼️
HE!! is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN. No doubt.

I, like millions of Americans, had never cared about/heard much of Charlie Kirk before he was shot/killed. Since then MSM has fed us a steady diet of him…who his disciples are, what he said…ad nauseam…and I’m stuffed and want to be excused from the table.
PLEASE!

Trump/his people hate they can’t control you. They hate your freedom. They hate that you know more than they know and even talk back! They hate the fact that you can organize against them.
Do not obey in advance!

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

The crime rate in ALL those cities is going down. Plus more.
Rather than overreact, we should EXAMINE POLICIES that are successfully lowering violent crimes in those cities and double them!
Instead we suffer the creepy creeping use of force and overreach.

A couple of outstanding quotes from @maureendowd Opinion piece:
Real power doesn’t need to shout. In fact, it can whisper.
The president’s unbridled gilt reflects his unbridled greed.
And all that gold will not erase #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp

Snagging people at immigration court, those doing what they’re supposed to do. They are following the law
This ICE tactic discourages people from showing up to try to do the right thing because they are targeted.

Just mailed postcards to Virginia voters…hopefully this will impact how they vote in the November 4, 2025 gubernatorial and state legislature elections…remembering the benefit cuts go into effect AFTER THE 2026 Midterms.

my daughter's preschool shares a building with a church, and once a week, that church has a farmers market type thing where they give fresh vegetables and food to folks in the community who need it.
if that is the stuff American churches primarily did, things would be way more chill.
