What is the point of having the HELP Senate oversight committee hear testimony from fired CDC members when the committee doesn’t do a darn thing about RFK Jr’s mismanagement that is so blatantly obvious.

Only white, only male, only Christian, only heterosexual, no longer America. And apparently when you pray you must raise your hand in the air (but only halfway, so not a Nazi salute quite yet).

TexasA&M President Welsh fired: A student complained she was offended by a video re gender identity in a literature class offered to prepare those who will be interacting with all children, some of whom may not always be heterosexual. The professor was already fired. Houston Chronicle, 9/19/25

Our country is in a downward spiral: Abbott and others in Texas against “liberal indoctrination” over the showing of a gender identity film on campus in a children’s literature class, fired Texas A&M’s popular president Mark Welsh.

This world has gone mad when we step over the line and deny free speech and academic discourse. I would not want a teacher or a physician to have such a closed mind as this student may have in my care or the instruction of my children.

RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode

Good for Brian Fitzpatrick of PA who has so far held his vote in response to Trump withholding pledged weapons to Ukraine. All join him! And also maybe bring the piece of paper that shows Medicaid cuts to DJT’s office and read it to him since apparently he does not know how to read it himself.

Canada and Mexico, please hurt us hard with your retaliatory tariffs. Show this fool and his cult who somehow got elected what a huge mistake was made. And please remember, Canada and Mexico- he won by a paltry 1.5% of the popular vote which is not a mandate.

I want to wish everyone a thanksgiving tomorrow that gives them a break from the anxiety many of us are feeling from an impending Trump presidency.
Here is my last doom and gloom post until after turkey day! First paragraph my own thoughts. The rest from NYT’s.
