I think one side is acknowledging the truth (the Dems). Every Democratic leader of significance has condemned the assassination. The Rs didn’t do that for Paul Pelosi, nor for the Mn house speaker and her husband. And it is Rs that are escalating rhetoric today. Both sides? Will never happen.

Thank you for saying this Senator. However, words are not enough. This is important enough for the Dems in the Senate should refuse to fund anything until Trump cleans house in HHS. Americans are going to die from these policies. And soon!

I honestly don’t know how any self-respecting attorney can continue to work at DOJ. I know there are people who feel like they are trying to hold the flood back, but it is rapidly becoming a partisan-hack organization.

I think the more important question is:
Imagine a life of such depravity where half of us think it is OK that POTUS may have had sex with 14 yr old girls.
I’ll make it simple:
Ds that had sex with 14 yr olds belong in jail
Rs that had sex with 14 yr olds belong in jail
Bipartisan alignment!

If you have to “teach someone how to respect you”, they will never respect you. Respect is earned, not taught. You may end up being feared, but never respected.

I want D’s to win, but you don’t deserve it yet.
- The SOTU plan was terrible.
- 10 D’s voted to censure Green. Don’t deserve to win.
- Letting R’s stop town halls. Don’t deserve to win. Do them yourself and bring voter input back to DC.
- and if any D votes for this budget, you don’t deserve to win

Wow! Not sure what time of day this was. But I was there in March several years ago and the line was so long they were delaying flights to give people time to get through. This is a boycott!

Tell your Republican friend - “this is who you are”. Until the Republican Party takes steps to influence and oversee the actions of the White House, they are culpable for this madness.

The problem is that the R Senate allows this to happen. The could have ended Trump’s political career in 2021 and didn’t. The could have voted down Hegseth and didn’t. They can refuse to fund Trump’s agenda until he stops caving to Russia. They won’t. Even though we’re weakening ourselves every day.

Stop tweeting and do something to stop him please. Find 4 Republican Senators who know deep in their heart how dangerous this is and help them find a backbone.
If you can’t do that, then shut down every bill that can be filibustered. No compromise, ever. Let them own the carnage.

I wish the Democrats had pursued re-counts to assess whether machines were tampered with. I really do. But without finding evidence, election denial only damages our democracy. My point is the only way for the US to demonstrate we are different is to elect different people as soon as we can.

My scary thought is that January 2020 was definitely not the worst month of that year, not by a long shot. What is coming next. Bigoted and incompetent people do not make for good results, ever.

Respectfully, it doesn’t matter. We elected him. He is our President. I hate that fact from the bottom of my heart, but until we convince Congress that they will get voted out if they don’t challenge him, then vote them out in 26, and get a D POTUS in 28, it doesn’t matter what most of us want.

Honestly - FAFO. I hope all these folks are calling their congressmen and letting them know they there 2026 vote depends on what they do today. I also hope they remember in 26 and 28.

I have not watched #CNN since the election. That is magnified for what they did to #JimAcosta, one of the best journalists in the business. I’m waiting for the rest of you all to join me. Only financial pain will stop #cnn from kowtowing to this madness.

This is why @cnn has not been on in my house since November 5th. Will never be again unless they fundamentally change.
