Republican Congresspeople think it's fine for Americans to live like this. They say it's a small price to pay for being able to have guns. I have no hope for us a nation if after decades of spiraling gun deaths and mass shootings, we can't elect people who will vote to restrict firearms.

You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about?
Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

Trump never had a fan base.
He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.
It’s as stupid as it sounds.

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness.

America has a major nursing workforce shortage. We need hundreds of thousands more.
Is it any surprise the Trump team has decided to make it *harder* for aspiring nurses to afford nursing school?
Yet another healthcare “policy” that will harm our future.
