MICHELLE OBAMA, on whether a woman can get elected president:
“.. sadly, we ain’t ready. That’s why I’m like: don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. We got a lot of growing up to do ..”

Lots of people laughing that Trump has confessed his tariffs drove up prices.
Too many aren't mentioning that he'll have to pay the tariffs back, meaning there'll be no $$ for rebates.
Trump has only bankrupted consumers and created a big hole in his budget.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.
