I don't think the President knows the sentiment, "You have to take the public to war before you take the army to war." Because he has his sites on Venezuela and I have no idea why.

Trump just plastered his name on The Kennedy Center. Hey New Yorkers next is the Trump-Lincoln Center. It's a slippery slope. His brazen insecurity is dangerous, and tragic.

December 8, 1980. Like millions of people, I was watching Monday Night Football when the news broke. “Remember, this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses,” said Howard Cosell. “An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us ... Hard to go back to the game after that news flash.”

I just learned that the "Watchlist" button under each movie tile on the .@rottentomatoes.com site is to keep track of films you want to see, not films you've seen. Or maybe it's the opposite, either way they should have both! And finding any type of list is not easy. #movies #rottentomatoes

It’s World AIDS Day. Yes, HIV/AIDS is still a thing. A big thing. The current administration “canceled” it. So, we can conclude that HIV/AIDS is not a problem in Donald Trump’s world (that we happen to live in.)

The shutdown has run its course. It's time to stop the standstill. Let the cards fall where they may. And maybe, just maybe, the Dems can prove their point by letting the budget play out and people get hurt (or not.) Let's just find out.

George Santos filed fraudulent FEC reports, embezzled funds from donors, stole identities for theft, charged credit cards without authorization, fraudulently obtained unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress.
Santos is not a "rogue." Like you, Donald, he is a criminal who's getting off easy.
