How are all my fellow veterans who salivated to vote for trump like him now? I ask that question all the time and hear only crickets.
Slashing the VA workforce by 80,000 workers would look like longer wait times for our vets, calls to the Veterans Crisis line going unanswered, and our nation’s heroes not getting the care they’ve earned.

The Ref went down due to a collision. Don’t worry Jamie Vardy blew the whistle to stop play for him.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

We’re going to need many more of these brave souls. There is no major news site or paper that isn’t controlled by the oligarchy.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I’m from Connecticut. I’m proud Chris Murphy is my senator. I wouldn’t piss on Blumenthal if he was on fire.
Even if your senators and reps are Democrats, BE A FLY IN THEIR EAR. Remind them who they represent, and hold them accountable.
Our government is about to be taken over by the most corrupt, rapacious, disgusting, cruel, and self-interested group of people we have ever seen. But many Democrats, including so far Senator Richard Blumenthal, @rokhanna.bsky.social and @fetterman.senate.gov are rushing to lick their boots.

Truth. I grew up there, I know. Also, why I’ve lived in the northeast ever since.
THE BIBLE BELT
Also, the least educated belt, the divorce belt, the teen pregnancy belt, the gay porn belt, the obesity belt, the homicide belt, the poverty belt, the smokers' belt, the infant death belt, the low life expectancy belt and the most "MAGA" belt in the nation!
Did I leave anything out?

Every outrage and insult can’t be a five-alarm fire, as it’s critical for the media to stay focused on the most serious threats to America’s democratic institutions.

There should be no billionaires in government—full stop. Someone who is a billionaire is definitionally not in a position to understand the life of an average voter and—more than this and equally definitionally—has exactly the wrong relationship with the ways the American financial system is broken.
There are at least 11 billionaires among Trump's Cabinet picks—and that doesn't include Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy.
