Dems caving are why so many people stop voting. I hear it all the time—why bother? Neither party cares about the people and in the end they do what they want. I voted for @kaine.senate.gov twice and he let us down again. GOP is laughing because they know no one is going to stop them.

@kaine.senate.gov I hope that those who die because they lose their health insurance haunt you for the rest of your life. You sold us out again. You and @schumer.senate.gov need to go. Step down and allow those who are ready to actually lead, lead.

So Senator Kaine has shut down his phones. He sells us out and then is too cowardly to stand by his decision. He's joined @schumer.senate.gov who continues to sell out his constituents. Time for the old guard to retire. Step aside and let those with a backbone serve.

Is it the drugs or something else provoking these attacks? 🤔

Definitely scary. Brave homeowners if this is in Georgia.
This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Exactly! This is an excellent question. What happened to all of these priceless items?
I am from UK - even to me this is the equivalent of Farage becoming PM & closing Parliament then bulldozing half of Buckingham Palace to build a Stringfellows. Did he even move the fixtures and fittings? Where did he move the chandeliers & paintings? Given them away as gifts to donors? Horrifying

The White House is only 55,000 sq ft. A ballroom that is 90,000 sq ft and is significantly larger than a football field. The ballroom at Versailles was only 8,000 sq ft. There is no way it’s "just a ballroom" - He is building himself a new palace.

Why didn‘t the Democrats truly vet the candidates during the primaries in Virginia? The GOP is having a field day with Jay Jones and now there is a good chance we are going to have a hard core MAGA AG who will do Trump’s bidding. Let’s hope he doesn’t drag Spanberger down with him.

We loved our few days in Chicago. It was truly a beautiful city and wish we had planned to stay longer. We never felt unsafe while we were there.

Nine years in a row, Chicago’s been named the best city to visit — apparently tourists just love dodging bullets between deep-dish pizza stops.

Attacking cities in your own country with troops, blowing up possible fishing boats without due process, and punishing countries with tariffs if they don't bend to your will—no idea why he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. 🤔🤣

On a happy note—Full moon reflection on the Mohawk River. I just love the moon. It always makes me feel spiritual.

(4 of 5) I’m not an influencer. I’m simply me. I won’t hate strangers because someone in power says I should, and I won’t apologize for caring about people. This is who I am—always will be.

Abuse is abuse. It doesn’t stop being wrong just because it’s done by the government, the rich, or the powerful. My posts reflect my values and my refusal to look away. I won’t stay quiet just to avoid offending someone who follows me.

(3 of 5) Whether it’s women being raped, powerful men flying young girls to private islands for sex, children being dragged from their beds and zip-tied together, people beaten for the color of their skin, or others hated for who they love—it all makes me sick.

(1 of 4) Last night, someone told me they enjoy following me—but not my political posts. I thought about that a lot today and realized something: what they call “political” isn’t politics to me. It’s about humanity. It’s about who I am.

Reykjavik, Iceland. Not one person seemed concerned that the road is painted in rainbow colors.

A few more pictures from the land of fire, ice, and water. These are from Godafoss falls, the waterfalls of the Gods. Pictures are from the east and west ridges. Get there early and have the falls to yourself. The buses were arriving just as we were leaving. Extraordinary.

They are getting worse. I wonder why? My insurance company denied a prescription for the first time in the 23 years that I have been with them.
