We honor veterans for their dedication, even in tough times. They merit excellent medical care and every promise made to them when they vowed to protect us. #VeteransDay

In order for the Supreme Court to overturn the E Jean Carrol civil ruling, they would have to claim that his rape of her in the 90s was part of his official presidential duties 25 years later.

Great leaders genuinely Love people and are nation building toward domestic tranquility.

Terrible leaders genuinely love Power and starve, ignore, abuse, torment, and enslave them.

Seems about right when it comes to corruption and corporate greed. Detainees paid a $1 a day for work in privately owned ICE facilities.

being hucksters requires
turning on the charm an blowing sunshine where the sun doesn't shine

being a real leader requires doing the job, defending constitution and country, keeping fires of financial advancement burning, AND defending reputation and reality against lies, to keep votes and afloat

Sanity check:

people dedicating funding, research, decades of difficult effort, eradicating disease, making diseases reliably preventable are tricking us into it,

OR
unqualified, uneducated, people seeking to discredit/ end those efforts, as outbreaks increase everywhere, are the real heroes

One thing is clear:
Our best leadership has compassion for the limits of the smarts of common folks, and terrible leadership manipulates, exploits, and abuses those limits.

Trump expects US to believe he's going to give Americans healthcare by cutting out the insurance industry. Let's go count how many people in his admin are in insurance

It's interesting how Jefferson was inspired by the enlightenment, supposing rational thought superior to religiosity, requiring separation of church and state, and here we are, almost three hundred years later, STILL trying to sell people on rational thought

Trump, carrying out an Ed Martin plan I first reported on in June, claims, according to Martin, to have pardoned 2020 "fake electors." But the president lacks that power. Those people face state charges. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump claims he "pardoned" his fake electors. He doesn't have that power.
The president executed a half-baked plan cooked up by pardon attorney Ed Martin.

If we want to lose democracy,
let's pretend it's more important to angrily demand the impossible, withhold support for our own goddamn interests, to "punish" our own, than to oppose our enemies and support the long difficult surgery necessary to defeat the entrenched malignancy that's killing it.

running candidates on Being an Outsider and Shaking things up is so mid90's. We need teamwork, not inexperienced Dems who discredit Dems who've been effective despite the absence of full strength we the people.
Teamwork. Unity. Clarity. Recognition of past and future efforts. Teamwork. Unity. Aim

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
