NYC is my beloved city. I believe in the scientific method, I love art, I love music, but it makes me cry. I care about people no matter their demographics. America is in trouble, and I want to help.

Filibuster started when Aaron Burr forgot to put a procedure for ending debate in the rules. That led to talking filibuster which turned into modern filibuster

I want them to seize the 300 billion in frozen Russian money, spend whatever is needed to ensure victory for Ukraine and put the rest toward reconstruction.

It actually takes 67 votes to convict in the Senate. If Rs wouldn’t do it after coming under attack on 1/6, they never will.

EU has the righteous outlook, but constantly show sluggish timidity when bold action is imperative. They haven’t even seized the 300 billion in frozen Russian money yet—what are they waiting for??

They need to be more specific about how they will protect anyone refusing illegal orders. They don’t even seem able to do anything to prevent bogus DOJ investigations of fellow members of Congress. Conversely, military knows that Trump can and will protect them from prosecution for war crimes.

I can’t stand Sean Duffy, but I have seen truly appalling behavior on planes. In our grandparent’s day, only the wealthiest people could afford to fly, so they expected luxury.

Is that 30% the same people keeping Trump’s dismal approval rating from total collapse? We have more deprogramming to do.

It's particularly poignant to hear her mention her work assembling her East Wing staff. Not exactly worth $40 million though.

Not really. Trump’s approval is cratering. He’s stupid, but he can spot a star to hitch his wagon to.

Hasn’t the example of Mike Pence taught these people anything? You can’t build equity in the bank of Trump. You could slobber over him for a lifetime, but enrage him once and you’re out.

The unacceptable one as before. Ukraine gives up territory Russia hasn’t even managed to conquer and Ukraine gets nothing. Meanwhile, Russia is going to hell—they are resorting to get payments from China on delivery of oil sometime in the future.

Our government is pouring funds into AI with huge question marks about how it will affect society. Yet Trump is yanking all Biden-era funds to develop green energy because he’s an idiot climate science denier.
We can’t rely on individuals choosing more expensive energy short term.
