"...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”(Lincoln) This needs to be our prayer again. May our nation's rule of law & customs of dignity & fairness be restored.

Tell the pres: a lot of people remember, respected, liked & miss Khashoggi. It's foolish to pretend his terrible death is "old news." "Things happen???!!!"

This is a tragedy. Just a way to make sure "other" people don't get what they need. I'm so sad. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/brea...

So there's at least 1 R who's SO CONSERVATIVE (and probably freaks out about *trans ppl in girls' sports*) who wants to keep the Epstein activities & friends, secret.

You know, I am really fine with refusing to enrich health insurance companies! Give us Medicare 4 all & we'll all be better off (except, of course, the folks getting paid by health insirance companies). Already about half the country gets public health care access: VA, Medicare, Medicaid.

Voting to give justice to the survivors, isn't a "tough call." It's the right thing to do. Wonder what's making it tough for the leader? thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Disgusting. "Current plans include fireworks, fighter weigh-ins in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and a UFC Octagon cage with the White House and Washington Monument as a backdrop."

"We won’t be distracted, and the entire Administration will continue fulfilling the promises the President was elected on, including cutting the Biden-era price hikes.” (WH Spox) We're dealing now w the enormous Trump-era price hikes which will endure as long as his unconstitutional tariffs do.

The ongoing invasion of American cities, w thugs rounding up brown people, moving fast & breaking things, is polporn for the non-thinking hard right. It's theater, that ruins individual's lives. Waiting for it to go away is not the correct response.

Trump now figures he can "consort with" young girls and still not lose any votes. And when it comes to hard core MAGA, he's probably right. What matters to them is their ritual loop of hate with him. We will have to deal w them for a long time.

JDVance:"A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."...

"The cost of fire trucks has increased by about 30% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by a handful of profit-chasing private equity players who dominate the industry. Some truck models now top $1 million." ....

"While only 35% of Trump's second-term Cabinet graduated from 'elite' institutions, his picks featured 13 billionaires, whose combined net worth totaled approximately $460 billion." Proving you don't need to be deep to rape the world.

"About 53% of Republican representatives and 74% of Republican senators deny the scientific facts of the causes of climate change, Psychology Today wrote in 2015." Thats outrageous and shameful, akin to denying the sky is blue.

Atul Gawande on the cost of USAID (before it was destroyed):"$24 per American taxpayer, where American taxpayers are already paying $15,000 in taxes to the US government. It’s a tiny fraction of our spending. The total amount for USAID is less than half of the budget of my hospital in Boston."

ATUL GAWANDE(on the sudden destruction of foreign aid):" I think the thing to understand is that there is an assault on the idea of cooperation to solve big problems in the world, and instead a belief that domination, predatory transactions are how the U.S. wins."

According to Republicans access to healthcare is a privilege for working families while subsidies to corporations and lower taxes for the richest 3% is an investment. An investment in their ability to buy their next election. F*ck DT & the GOP. 🗣️ lizcurrymull (IG)

“In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal—and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.”

"Trump officials have said they had intelligence that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building, and that there were guns, explosives and drugs inside. After the raid, they said they had detained two gang members." And that gang was NOT Tren de Aragua.

It doesn't matter HOW many Dems they find in the Epsyein files, if any...or if they find the pope! If they find Trump, none of that would make that go away.

Look. Those boats ARE NOT headed to the US, DO NOT endanger us & every one that's bombed DOES NOT "save 50,000 Amerycan lives." Those are OBVIOUS LIES: Why is the media letting Miller et al get away w repeating them??

Ha! I heard Maxwell said she never saw Trump doing anything inappropriate. I didn't know she also said she never saw EPSTEIN doing anything inappropriate!! You gotta be kidding me.

So Trump's corrupted DOJ is suing CA for having the cojones to change their districting law in reaction to Texas's Trump-demanded gerrymander. How much more corruption will we see from this gangster White House??

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?" #ProudBlue #Pinks
