I received an unexpected package today from my son. It contained a dozen 115 hr emergency candles and 50 emergency thermal blankets. I asked him why he sent them. He said in case we get invaded. Wtf?!? This is our reality with Trump. Smdh #MAGA

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect. The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April. Spread this everywhere. Subscribe to support my work, even on Thanksgiving:

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Trump criticized Biden's use of an autopen. He claims it was an indicator of a decline in Ɓiden's faculties. Then appears to have used something similar on recent pardons. By his own argument, we can conclude Trump is experiencing a mental decline of his faculties. apnews.com/article/trum...

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Three Days Grace tickets secured. I miss my pit days. But I'm excited to see them again. 🤘🎶
