If you’re a former cop or prosecutor & your allegiance to Trump has you buying into this recasting of Maxwell, a prolific trafficker & rapist, into a victim, you have some soul searching to do about your political choices.

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred.

In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

From NEA.

The good news is we have moved from 50th in starting teacher pay to 49th. 😭

We can’t find money for public schools or teachers, but we can fund a school voucher scam…my god this is embarrassing.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.

Children starved to death almost immediately as hundreds of soup kitchens closed in a matter of days after Trump cut U.S. aid in Sudan.

But Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

It really is so disgusting seeing all the photos coming out of Russia of Witkoff’s trip and meet with Putin. He is whitewashing a terrorist state that is committing genocide and just last week murdered Ukrainian children at a playground

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

What’s on the chopping block due to Trump’s cuts to NIH?

Crucial cancer services for rural patients. Groundbreaking diabetes research. A treatment for children with severe intellectual disabilities.

Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.

The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.

His approval ratings are tanking.

He does not have a mandate.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

He's not.
