News and politics junkie. I hate treasonous presidents, but I love my trans daughter, dogs, clouds, flowers, and being retired. I deeply regret the state of American newspapers today. Always a blue voter.
Emily Berge, @bergeforcongress.com, is running for Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District agains Derrick Van Orden. She's an excellent candidate, much better qualified than her primary opponent, who was prematurely endorsed by both baldwin.senate.gov and sanders.senate.gov. They should reconsider.

People need to back way off of the saturation button on fall pictures. It's pretty enough without creating the "Mar-a-Lago mouth" of trees.

ICE agents are too chickenshit to show their faces. Surely somebody- neighbors, former neighbors, friends, or ex-friends, acquaintances- know who some of these asses are. Please expose.

Another travesty. There are so many!
Well, tens of millions of Americans are going hungry and tens of millions of Americans are losing their health care, but it's all been worth it to ensure transgender citizens can't get passports.

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace.

Where, exactly, are the Epstein Files? Who has them, besides Pam Bondi? Are there multiple digital copies of them? How do we know they're not being altered?

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

If trans women aren't allowed to play women's sports because of an unfair physical advantage, why is a 7'4" basketball player allowed to play when he is 9" taller than the average player? #lettranswomenplay

When he was a kid, J.D. Vance's Grandma bought food for him with food stamps. I'm glad he didn't have to go hungry the way he and his fellow Republicans will be causing kids now to go hungry. And his family got health insurance from Medicaid. Heartless bastard.

I am absolutely astounded that the United States continues to bomb boats and kill people (latest- 3 boats, 14 people) and Congress does nothing. Americans do nothing. Other nations do nothing. This is murder, plain and simple. He's not in the middle of 5th Avenue, he's in the Caribbean.

And besides all of this, none are professionally qualified for their positions. Like even remotely.

Congress has failed us in so many ways.
Do not forget that this happened and that Trump should be in prison for it right now.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

If this is what they do when they know cameras are recording, what do you think they do in private?
Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

I don't get it either. To have multiple times the amount of money you could EVER spend in your life and fight and cheat to keep a fraction of it away from the masses is beyond me. Build some damn libraries or hospitals.
