Trump bullied her “all the time”. He didn’t deny forcing her to shed pounds, telling the Times, “To that, I will plead guilty.” “For sure he is not a good person,” Machado said. www.politico.com/story/2016/0...

‘Quiet, Piggy’ should be engraved on his gravestone.

Custom label idea for holiday spirits

Extra guests showing up for holiday dinners? Take it easy on the wallet and go DiY. If they’re maga, laminated Epstein files make great placemats.

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

An older, conservative family friend was in town recently. First thing he said when he saw my husband was “how’s the breadwinner?” Immediately the hubs replied, “That isn’t us. We contribute equally.” He makes a lot more than I do. Not even close. But this is how it should be. Never settle for less.

He literally just told them about how “the past president” sleeps all the time. “Everywhere. Anytime. On the beach.” And then goes on to say that he can call the Saudi Prince during the night any time “to talk about our countries”, because neither of them sleep. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Tests in adults with lupus and a growing list of other autoimmune diseases are showing early promise, putting some people in long-term, drug-free remission. Once again … early detection. And if kids can have fun in the process, then we have a winner. apnews.com/article/lupu...

If you’re feeling under the weather and wondering whether your sore throat is strep, pay attention to your symptoms. And don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider. A quick test can give you peace of mind and help you get the right treatment. health.clevelandclinic.org/strep-throat...

1/ Hearing Trump call the reporter “piggy” and seeing no one stand up for her, compelled me to say what’s on my mind. So here it is. It’s a Trump-like culture that fosters fat shaming. Anyone who doesn’t stand up to it is complicit.

This …

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

Trump on Monday said he would sign the bill if it passes both chambers of Congress, adding, “Let the Senate look at it.” Translates to “let me bury all the evidence”. apnews.com/article/epst...

He has “great regrets in my life” and that his association with Epstein was a “major error in judgement.” Fine, but will one of these scumbags admit this isn’t about them and apologize to the victims … apnews.com/article/larr...

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Trump isn’t spiraling, declining, or losing it. He’s simply confident enough in his ability to escape any kind of consequences … that he’s simply showing us who he was all along.

"Quiet. Quiet, Piggy," he said menacingly. "Piggy" has been a common insult of his. During his 2016 campaign, former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, claimed that he threatened to take away her title when she gained weight. He’d call her “Miss Piggy”. How is there not one person standing up to him?

Everyone’s saying “Trump is losing it”. Can’t lose what he never had.

“A concealed carry mandate forces all states to be subject to the weakest laws in the nation—no matter how strong their own protections are.”

Well timed quote from a friend. How is it 2025, and I still feel like contractors talk down to me like I’m an imbecile. And the second my husband walks in the door, their whole personalities change. I half expect them to salute 😡

“Previously only available in Europe, the thumb joint replacement provides an innovative and outstanding alternative for the treatment of thumb arthritis in the US.” www.rush.edu/news/rush-of...

Anonymous American Gestapo ICE agents chase a local flower shop owner into the woods to abduct them. Neighborhood bystanders follow them into the forest and film them, harass them, and shame them until they leave.

New scrubs today. We can send people to space, but we can’t find a way to make shirts with comfortable tags.😵‍💫

Planning a wedding recently (though we still decided to elope), taught me everything I need to remember when hosting Thanksgiving dinner. It’s about the time together. Nobody cares what shade the napkins are, and no one will remember the cake flavor. But the drunk uncle … laughs for a lifetime 😝

“I’m laughing at the memes. I’m enjoying watching the Trump-MTG feud. I’m taking joy where I can find it. And I’m holding space for the survivors whose pain doesn’t go viral.” (Patti Vasquez, Driving it Home with Patti Vasquez on Chicago’s Progressive Talk)

“Voters are frustrated and families are hurting because these tech giants are cutting backroom deals with politicians, and it’s causing their power bills to go up.” Are we great yet, maga?? 😡🤬😡 apnews.com/article/trum...

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

I wish social media had more than just a “like” response. Some content, especially since this admin came back, is hard to “like”. But when I hit that icon, to me, it means “I see you. I read what you posted. I cared about what you had to say, even if I didn’t feel like responding at the time”.💙

Morning song. It was one of my dad’s favorites. Channeling some strength from him today, because I need it. Find whatever you need today to take care of your soul. If it’s music, we’re the same people 🫶🏼💕 m.youtube.com/watch?v=00Eb...

“People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.” - Robin Williams

Once again, it has returned to its “golden” lair. One day, the creature will take its last breath. The waiting is the hardest part (sorry, Tom Petty. No reference to a great song).

Takeaways …. he’s found ways to redact, threaten, and bribe … ensuring an adequate coverup for his wrongdoings. At least in his mind, all eyes will be on Democrats on the list, and he can carry on unscathed as usual. We all know the truth, and it was never about party. apnews.com/live/donald-...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Cooler today, but bundled up for a late lunch. Chicago still standing strong, despite the ICE invasion.👊🏽

Awwwww 🥰🥰🥰 apnews.com/video/baby-s...

This could open more debate over legality of same-sex marriage or even whether women should work outside the home (WTF)… becoming easier to push for restrictions that might have never been brought before legislatures before. “More breathing room for abolitionists now.” apnews.com/article/abor...

Ultimately, it costs less to prevent an illness through vaccination than to treat it. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-hea...

While job scams exist in any kind of economy, they’re doubly pernicious in a weak labor market where so many Americans are desperate for work. Last month was the worst October for layoffs since 2003. www.morningbrew.com/stories/2025...

"These tariffs are completely senseless. These are fast-moving consumer goods … Who would ever buy a pack of pasta that costs 10 dollars, the same price as a bottle of wine?" www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia...

To an old friend I hadn’t seen in many years … whom I just found out recently was taken by Covid in 2021 … along with so many of our friends, loved ones, and everyday faces in our lives. Rest in peace, summer friend. We sure had some fun, didn’t we? 🫶🏼 m.youtube.com/watch?v=-tPc...

Reconnecting with an old friend is a story of distance, loss and rediscovery. People move, we get busy, life gets in the way. But old friends live in our hearts forever. Is there someone you’re thinking of from your past? Reach out. What’s the worst that can happen … apnews.com/article/reac...

Right?? 😂

As women, we grow up learning a lot about how to recognize perverts… who to stay away from and then how to raise our daughters to do the same. The best parenting on earth couldn’t prepare us for what was hiding in plain sight all along. Christian-based Republicans. The wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Chicago here. We know, Charlotte. We know 😣
