THIS!

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

Great point!

"Trump spent the campaign pretending the deeply unpopular Project 2025 agenda was not the blueprint for his second term. So it’s pretty rich now for Republicans to claim that a vote for Trump was a vote for him to implement Project 2025 policies."

I can't get over this video. Such love!!

How could anyone want to deny this child such love. I see this and think, that’s the luckiest baby ever.

Sigh.

Truths about healthcare: The ACA and Obamacare are the same thing Medicare is run by the federal government Biden and the Democrats used Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for everyone, including $35/month insulin and inhalers

Sen. Duckworth: I’d be worried about Hegseth “running a McDonalds,” let alone the Pentagon.

Gaetz out as AG! Phew. Now what?

I am positive I've shared bathrooms at some point in my 59-years with a transgender American and didn't even know it. I am much more worried about the weird shit that Matt Gaetz does in them than anyone else.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

So true. 💯

How broken is a party that their effort to distract from their own members child rape and sexual crimes is to create a viciously hateful campaign against a minority? The Republican Party has descended into true evil.

Attention, men: BE BETTER, FFS

So many Hoosiers (I live here too) don't even bother to vote. They feel like their voices don't matter because Indiana has been Republican "forever."

2 million people work in Florida’s agriculture, at least 1 million are undocumented. It won’t just be the cost of milk and eggs that will go up, it will be the entire food supply chain.

This is very cool. Thank you to everyone who made this a reality. We love it here and we are here to stay. Bluesky is the future!

Makes me think there may have been a "messaging" problem!

Make no mistake, these "camps" that have just been offered up in Texas are internment camps, and we have seen this all before. Don't dismiss what is happening as hyperbole and don't look away. shero.substack.com/p/the-intern...

This is terrifying. There is literally nothing Gaetz won’t do to appease Trump. Nothing. We are so fucked.

Heading to Boston this week. Anyone have food recommendations?

Thank you, Mr. President.
