The silence from the always opinionated women on #theview speaks louder than if they’d spoken out against the removal of Jimmy Kimmel. I appreciate their position; I’m not sure I respect it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, today, to sort out their thoughts & hoping they’ll share going fwd.

The distractions, horrible as they are, are working. Let’s not forget the Trump-Jeffrey Epstein connection. Repeat it loudly and often: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Multiple choice: when is it time to call in the National Guard? When violent insurrectionists storm and defile the Capitol, brutally attack police officers and chant about hanging the VP or when people gather to protest deportations without giving people due process under the laws of the US? Hm.

I’ve been reading that we’re “coming into a test of our Constitution,” i.e., the treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, DOGE actions, the defiance of court orders, retribution against who he considers political enemies. Haven’t we already failed this test? What are its limits? Congress, stop him!

Dear Dem lawmakers: This is a friendly reminder that Hillary Clinton was skewered by Rs for using a personal server for official emails. How about you treat Trump and his incompetent band of leaky lawmakers in kind? #butheremails

Dear Dems: No matter what you are asked in an interview, pls answer with something like, “we must address the dangerous and incompetent security breach of Trump’s cabinet members.” And then proceed to do so. Every single time. Every single question. Please. Because, messaging is important.

It’s Equal Pay Day which, simply put, marks how far into the new year women have to work to earn what their male counterparts made the previous year. This roughly 3 month time frame is a generalization. Other factors that need to be considered are location, race, age, education, marital status.

I’ve read and listened to Dems on both sides of the CR and, no, @schumer.senate.gov, I don’t agree with you. I implore you to vote against the CR. It’s our only strength to have the Rs own a gov’t shutdown. Do not acquiesce to Trump and musk. #resist

Per CNN:
“The US House of Representatives on Thursday censured Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress this week—a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat’s actions.”
Who remembers the penalty Boebert & MTG incurred after they disrupted Biden’s SOTU?

I just heard the term “rapid deterioration years” regarding a woman’s appearance as she goes through perimenopause and menopause and I am pissed off. Wtf? Like a rusting car battery? An out of date computer? I find this incredibly insulting - as I continue to deteriorate by the minute. #wtf

PA residents: This list is from my wonderful PA State Senator, @senatorcollett.com Call your federal reps. Use your voice! Yes, even the R guy. I just called Fetterman‘s office to say that I voted for a united D front and to please vote accordingly. (Yup, I’m polite. It’s the best way to be, imo)

With the recent firings at MSNBC and today’s news that Trump will take control over the WH press pool by deciding which media outlets will have access, we’re one step closer to a fascistic dictatorship. And I am surprised at how easily and quickly it was allowed to happen.
