My heart aches for my grandchildren and their generation who have grown up in this era. They are either living in fear or are indoctrinated. Recovery will take generations. This trauma is now part of the US psyche.

Running the country with a shake of an 8 ball would make more sense. 47 days - one for each brain cell?
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.
Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Please call and write your reps today. And tomorrow and every day until this useless old orange mind flayer is out of office. To spend this $$ on bombs when cutting spending on healthcare and supporting “regular” citizens is unconscionable.
The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.
Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

I apologize for being absent, especially to new followers. My husband’s cancer is back and we’re heading to end-of-life care. Please keep up the resistance! My husband doesn’t want to leave me alone in this cruel Trump world. His hope is to outlast the orange one - and mine, too! Keep resisting.

SPECIAL ELECTION ALERT:
We have one shot to flip a seat by year’s end for Tennessee's 7th congressional district.
If we win on December 2nd, Republicans lose a House seat, and 2026 shifts completely. Let’s support Aftyn Behn @aftynbehn.bsky.social and keep the momentum going. 🔄
