We the People are pissed! Dems had all the cards and needed to hold the line to give people faith they would fight relentlessly for the good of everyday Americans. Once again, they showed division and an inability to rise to the occasion! 🤬

As a longtime Mariner fan, all I can is WOW! Pinch hitter and my birthday bro (although a “few” years younger) Leo Rivas tied the game and then let an amazing pitching staff hold it until Jose Polanco brought it home in the bottom of the 15th! First time in the ACLS since 2001. Go Mariners!

Is it just me or does it seem pretty likely that the calling in off all senior military commanders and the requirement for the press to sign a statement that they will only report information cleared by the Pentagon are very much connected?

Just curious - thoughts on whether Kirk’s assassination was a professional hit. If so, that opens up a lot of possibilities. Who has the ability/training to hit a target from the distance reported (200 yards). Sorry for being naive but i don’t know much about guns and gun prowess.

Is it me or has QAnon been super quiet about all the Epstein revelations recently including the immensely compelling press conference by survivors, Trump immediately calling their statements a “Democratic hoax” and Johnson stating and then retracting his comment that Trump was an FBI informant. 🤔

Wow - the Epstein survivors press conference was incredibly powerful. These women are so incredibly brave and have shone a light on the abuses of the powerful over the meek. One victim addressed the recent kid glove treatment of Maxwell and how she manipulated Blanche the same way she did victims.

Except for career civil servants, I don’t trust a single person in this administration. In past ones, there have always been a few I was wary of but overall trusted economic, scientific and public health info. No more - they are all liars, just like their lying boss. I hope one day they will pay.

Please allow me to take a moment away from our unraveling democracy to indulge my passion for tennis. In an amazing match, Coco Gauff came from a set down to become the 1st American woman in 10 yrs. to win Roland Garros. It is Coco’s 2nd Grand Slam and 1st French Open. A truly classy champion! Whew!

I’m truly sad thinking about our heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy on this day in 1944 and who is “leading” this country today. Our gov’t is acting like Hitler’s regime in trying to discredit our public servants, academics and the media. He is following Hitler’s playlist. June 14 - protest!
