Observing US politics over the last 16 years is quite the story, I’m hopeful sanity prevails.
watching from the UK. 💙supporting Democrats💙 the other party is evil.
No Maga. Born 1950. Do the math. 😂 Strictly no DMs.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.
And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Yes, Reform is currently riding high in the polls, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social. But could British voters become more reluctant to put someone so flaky into Downing Street the closer an election nears?
Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister
The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.
It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Zohran keeping up all his old posts that show him giving the finger to Columbus is a great thing. Reminder that Columbus and his men trafficked Indigenous children into sexual slavery. At a time when multiple far right governments are lead by predators it sends a powerful message
