Today I learned that the breast cancer I had did not spread. Almost 5 years to the day, test showed no biomarkers linked to that cancer. I am vindicated from looking to other countries for best practices. 1st oncologist ditched me when I went with European model for treatment. I have thrived.

Wish the incumbents would believe this true statement. I am not well off but used to eek out a few modest donations to Democrats each year. Now, I am definitely done as my economic situation barely holds.

Maybe we start providing camouflage clothing, balaclavas, (costume) badges, vests & firearms to everyone in Minneapolis & call it cosplay. Because that's what these armed thugs who Trump calls Law Enforcement are doing with deadly results.

Expected, from Republicans. Republicans built this, Republicans are doing this, Republicans OWN this. Republicans are pushing for a criminal investigation. Write that. Because Republicans are either actively a part or actively covering up. There is no other kind of Republican. Not any more.

www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... Bill Ackman: one of the worst of these greedy SOBs. Read his statement blaming Renee Goode. A thoroughly disgusting billionaire with nothing but contempt for others. And practioner of the white men grievance culture.

Maybe protesters ought to separate the "FUs" with another phrase: "Next year we will be your jury". Remind them there will be consequences if they lose their bid to install a dictatorship here.

I wish to remind all those corrupt billionaires & politicians who support Trump's dictatorship, eventually the dictator always turns on those first supporters. He becomes jealous of what they have, or decides they are too powerful themselves, or he merely needs to destroy them as a message to all.

Guess whose job it is to arrest agents who are breaking the law? Other agents and cops. What a concept.

Yes. It is a North American event & leaving out the US can only benefit Mexico & Canada.

Heading into 2026, hoping for improvement over 2025 in every aspect but assuming things will get worse. That's what old age & our current state of affairs means to me. At 73, never been this pessimistic about the future.That said, continuing my tradition of champagne & caviar to see in the New Year.

I am exhausted from the Epstein files drama. I remain disgusted & almost unwilling to comprehend this level of depravity. But I don't want to read more papers or listen to more pundits. I want indictments, arrests, trials, & convictions. Anything else is useless noise. We have enough of that.

My husband, who is liberal politically, was recently diagnosed with altzheimers. He's become obsessed with grievances towards anyone who he percieves as making a mistake. He also won't change his mind on anything. Wonder if a study would confirm increased rates of altzheimers in MAGA voters.

Tell me I haven't been following politics for too long. 1st time I got ill with flu-like symptoms after getting my flu shot. First thought: "damn that RFK,Jr.". Conspiracy theory hit my brain "something was changed to discourage my future vaccinations." Rejected theory once I was rational again.

I watch much less cable news than I did in previous years, but I have recently noticed that CNN is featuring more & more Republicans on their panels, perhaps due to pressure from Trump. However, it seems almost subversive as these panelists are uniformly really stupid in their arguments.

As happy as I am for the large gain in votes for our Democratic candidate in TN, I have to think that the gerrymandering has succeeded so well the Democrats won't ever regain any of those 3 seats that were lost by merging MAGA suburbs with Nashville. Not seeing the swing as hopeful.

MTG always seemed lizard-like to me. You know, a specie that survives for millenniums by instinct. Her break with Trump seems significant because of that.

Saw a magazine article in which the Ford CEO continues to whine he can't fill high-wage mechanic jobs. Says it takes 5 years to learn how to swap an engine. Ignores that instead of forcing people into community colleges on their own dime, Ford did all training for those jobs years ago on their dime.

So, do we all agree Speaker Johnson will swear in the new Democratic Rep from NM and adjourn 1 second after the budget bill so the Epstein files vote can't happen. Return will be after Dec 2nd when he hopes to keep a Republican seat in Tennessee, preventing the Epstein files vote from passing.

Why a bunch of Senators who are retiring are leading the negotiations is something to really think on

So, Trump's reign is filled with "no one even thought about doing this outrageous thing before" actions. Now Speaker Johnson brings that to the House. No Speaker ever delayed swearing in a duly elected Congresswoman. Cannot think of a Speaker who shuts down the House for months. What's next?

24 hours to digest Mamdani's win. When Trump calls him a Communist I can't help but look how allied with Russia, still proudly Communist, the President remains. Add his ties to China & it seems to me Trump has more leaning Communist traits than the new Mayor of NYC.

Not commenting on the reason Andrew Windsor lost his title. But you either buy into "Royal by virtue of birth" or you don't. In every monarchy, a King's son is a Prince by birth. So, if a Royal Prince can be stripped of his Princehood, doesn't that negate the whole premise of royal by birth?

I am sick of our "security theater". Tried to login to a retail account. Required password & text verification & then decided I needed a new password. System didn't like my password choice. At this point, I don't need to order from them. It's my friggin' phone which also has protection.

Just for fun, I called Sen. Moody's office to ask about the East Wing demolition.They referred me to her statement on X. I asked if she posted it on other social media- crickets.The staffer read me the statement & it seems destruction of a building is merely a renovation as done by many Presidents.

My grandfather leaned socialist but my father's generation were so traumatized by the depression & and WWII that they just wanted to settle for a peaceful life. They ceded control to politicians who then sold themselves to corporations. Now the choice is between facism & what I call socialism light.

Thank you to whoever put me on their list. Lot's of new followers. I don't know who it is, but this old lady thanks you.

My god, Andrew Cuomo is just awful. & Rhule let him get away with so many self-serving revisions to what is on record. Disappointed especially when he was allowed to claim that weak Democrats are the reason Trump is sending the National Guard to cities. He has nothing to offer but failed policies.

Am I crazy? It seems to me Democrats might do well to explain their budget refusal is also because Trump is not honoring expenditures in the previously passed budget. That is irrefutable & has no ties to immigration. Tell people that every other President follows the budget as the law he signed.

When & if we escape our current crime wave by ICE & associated agencies, there must be consequences for every police agency, district attorneys, & politicians who allowed the lawlessness to occur. Defund the police since they choose not to protect their own residents. LEO protect themselves only.

We won’t fix this country until we fix the tax code

This is a pretty good visual representation, but the YELLOW cup should be the size of a small shot glass. (but for those of us with poor eyesight, it works)

Want more proof the stock market is the billionaires' playground? With a government shutdown looming & another hit to the US credit rating certain, the stock indexes closed up today. Tax the rich until there are no billionaires. Tax the rich. The oligarchy we have become must end.

www.outkick.com/sports/exclu... In the grand scheme of life, missing out because you placed 17 instead of 16 which you say is because of transgender competition is not life-changing for you. For that athlete, acceptance can be life-changing or life affirming. (15 bio women did beat you too)

#pinks 🌸 #1ARights #voteblue #EndTheMAGARegime This shit is off the chain fascism.

Everything is so broken. Just tried to create my f'in "gov login". Can't do it. System inoperable. Which means I can't get to some info I need on the SSA site. Used my same login & (new) passwords for years there. No longer valid. Sick of these so-called enhanced security measures. It's all theater.

Not enough to force women to carry all pregnancies to term. They must also suffer fever, pain, etc without relief regardless of consequences to woman or fetus. All according to the people now in charge of our nation. God I have never hated so many so much.

If your local TV station is not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight, here's what to do. Contact the station and let them know Kimmel needs to air to meet your community's standards. Then let the FCC know the station information and that your community standards prohibit censorship. About all we can do.

Powerful image.

The horror of 9/11 should never leave us. I am bothered that honoring those many victims of foreign terrorists has taken a backseat to the assassination of a hate-spewing radical. Yes, Kirk was a young man with a family & political assassination is also terrible,but it should not eclipse everything.

Football is my sports passion. I bleed purple for my Ravens. At some point, you have to wonder how the Ravens make so many clutch mistakes. That fumble was everything. Once again, we will get lip service from Lamar about accountability. But what changes these losing plays? Me, I want Harbaugh gone.

Florida's Top Health official, Joseph Ladapo, has announced his intention to end mandatory vaccinations for school enrollment. My first thought was a flash to an upcoming tabloid headline: "DeSantis killed my child!" Because he appointed this whack-a-doodle to his cabinet.

I am not sure what is going on, but hubby & me rode over to Clearwater Beach around 5:30 pm. No traffic, bars & restaurants not nearly full, & parking was plentiful. Usually Labor Day weekend would have traffic backed up for a mile or more. Has Florida lost its appeal, or is everyone broke?

I know there are worrse things to be upset about, but Trump's instructions to the US architect for public buildings to only accept classical design is just another example of a cultural Phillistine exercising generational poor taste. We will be back in the Dark Ages soon.

Call me crazy but I see the only path to combating the Texas redistricting plan is to flat out run Democratic candidates who are not incumbents. Meanwhile advertising is geared towards asking voters in these new districts if they are so racist they will vote Repub despite this undemocratic maneuver

I can't wrap my head around the Pres of the Baltimore Police Union complaining about Gov Moore not sending Nat'l Guard to Baltimore. Like why are we paying your members 26% of the total budget to not do the job? I lived there. Most cops were so scared it took 4 cops & a supervisor to make an arrest.

Sitting in the CT waiting room at our hospital, waiting with Bob for his scan. TV is on, no remote in sight, and of course it's FOX News. Can't tell me big hospital chains aren't cheering on Medicaid cuts that force small hospitals to close.
