I’m going to the UK in September and thinking about getting my annual flu shot there as they may have the updated one, and I’m not sure we will here in the USA.

Former elected official here (I retired at 72 to make way for younger folks) and committed Democrat. I’m pretty tuned in and have to say that Ken Martin has been underwhelming. Who is he? What is his vision? Why is he not speaking to us? Until I have faith he’s the right leader I’m not giving.

My heavens! She lies so glibly and with such smarmy self confidence! I don’t know how she sleeps at night.

Important article that informs many of us who intuitively believed that racism and misogyny were key to Trump’s election, with actual data. Thank you for sharing.

I admit disappointment in this article. It tells the how, but not the why? I still don’t get what these people think society will look like, or how regular government functions like roads, bridges, air traffic control, or food safety will happen. Will seniors be kicked out of nursing homes? Explain!

The Gestapo were much better dressed!

Just wait until Moms and Dads start back-to-school shopping. Shoes, clothes, backpacks, school supplies - all made in China. Trump will be excoriated by every parent in the US.

I think this is called a shakedown. A technical term he learned in Queens maybe?

Just wait until moms and dads need to do back-to-school shopping. Kids shoes p, clothes, backpacks, pencils, pens, notebooks -almost all made in China. Someone should draw up a shopping list with prices now and compare with prices+tariffs.
