Investigate Trump officials for putting our national security at risk!

Noting all the media executives at the inauguration who have caved to the Trump protection racket. “Nice media company you have there, be a shame if something happened to it…”

Many people who have followed me have only reposts. Please understand if I don’t follow back until I see some posts directly from the person. That way I will assume you are real and not a bot. Some reposts are fine.

Heard that RFK Jr.’s lawyer was looking into having FDA withdraw approval of the polio vaccine - perhaps RFK Jr does not remember children dying or living in iron lungs? I do. We lived in fear every summer.

Fox News is a great story teller. They aren't reporters. Their stories always have an antagonist and protagonist. Always a high level of drama. And sometimes joyful interstitials with a hero saving the day
Maddow is a good story teller. But beyond her, it's the domain of fox on linear TV

In America, you can't be sent to jail just because a president wants you behind bars. People go to jail only for committing crimes—if they’ve been convicted in court by a unanimous jury. We can’t replace due process with political persecution.

Just listening to one of those political conversations about the direction the Democratic party should move - left or right. My hope is that the Democratic Party should instead show up as the problem-solving party. The pragmatic, governing, get things done for you party. Thoughts?
