Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Hey mainstream media colleagues: you cannot be deported to a country you are not from. That’s kidnapping and trafficking. Call it that. You are lying if you say otherwise.

Women who don’t have private health insurance can no longer afford the risk of having sex with men.
It’s just a fact.
If they get pregnant they will be financially RUINED. No more Medicaid to pay the at least $40,000 for a normal, uncomplicated delivery. Any complication and it’s twice that.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
