Every single Dem should have walked out in support of Al Green. BTW I'm donating to Al Green after this. Hear that Dems? Check on which side your bread is buttered on.

“Party leadership has discouraged lawmakers from disrupting Trump’s address with props, such as signs and hand-clappers, or by heckling the president and walking out.”

This isn't courage. She's a Democrat. It's the bare minimum expected after breathing. Get back to me when a R says this.
Thank you. Hope others have your integrity and courage and speak out against the indefensible behavior of Trump and Vance.

I don't want to see a single Democrat at this. If they go and sit and listen respectfully to the monster we watched berate Zelenskyy today, I don't know...drugs may be involved.
I think Dems should not go to the Joint Session Congressional address next week. (Term of art for SOTUs given in first year of a term.) Just don't show up.
Convince me that I'm wrong.

I agree. I've never been as upset at T's behavior than I was watching this debacle. He spoke to Zelenskyy like a naughty child. It triggered me, TBH.
Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

"The neurodevelopmental processes of autism occur before birth." Full stop.
Let's stop blaming vaccines and shaming parents for using them to protect their children.
Autism occurs naturally, it is likely heritable. And it is a difference, not a deficiency. It does not need to be "cured."

Dr. Peter Hotez is fighting false assertions that vaccines cause autism & the implausibility of vaccines causing autism based on studies showing how the neurodevelopmental process of autism occur before birth. We NEED believers in SCIENCE as head of HHS!
Thank you, Dr. Hotez for everything you do!

I know I have used this term before, but this -- THIS! -- is focking *terrifying*.
Here we go.
Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship.
This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I finished up the 20 pots in 20 days, but I'm staying the course! Here is a piece called "A Dozen Dreams." The four separate sections, done in the sgraffito technique, can be turned to make 12 different creatures. Approximately 12"H.
