Exactly.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if he found a way to remove the judges who aren’t ruling in his favor.
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
It sure didn’t take long for Jeanine Pirro to turn the DC US Attorney’s Office into the most incompetent, feckless, and ridiculous prosecutor’s office in the United States.
MASSIVE BREAKING: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi just revealed that an attorney told them today that an Epstein bodyguard was an intermediary between Epstein and the CIA in 2009. Release the Epstein files now !
Companies get the union they deserve
I was brought in to an organization to negotiate a first contract with a union. By the time I was finished, the employees went to the union and said “We don’t need you. We have her.”
Actually that’s exactly what he said a couple minutes ago
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
I don’t. I LOVE him!!
As we begin September, Democracy Docket is tracking 139 voting and election cases is 40 states. 13 in Georgia 13 in North Carolina 10 in Texas 9 in Arizona 8 in Pennsylvania 8 in Wisconsin Democracy is on the docket! www.democracydocket.com
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Maybe he planned to wish you a happy birthday on national television!
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Chump will Fall for Anything that Obama Does Better than Him....🙏

“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Not to mention disbarred in New York.
A majority of Americans, in most states, understand that climate change is driving greater wildfire occurrence and risks. The science is clear that this link is real. www.aspenpublicradio.org/environment/...
When my son started his 1st job out of college, I told him the 3 most important people in the building were the guy with the keys to his office, the receptionist and the janitor and he had to be kind - and generous - to all of them.
My friend that works at Walter Reed WAS NOT bullshitting me !!!!!!
😥
RFK Jr. is going to discontinue a lot of vaccines!😮 "... its plans to scrutinize the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule and other priorities that reflect longstanding concerns for Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr." www.npr.org/sections/sho...
I use shorter sentences and single syllable words
At least not for the people who bothered to do their homework. People on the East and West Coasts knew more about him than the majority of the people in the middle. I worked with a guy from Texas who had no idea he was on Wife #3 and had cheated on all of them.
Trump has been laundering Russian money for decades
Money talks. Nobody walks.
This from The National.
The prayers after shootings remind me of a story: when a flood hit, a guy on roof of his floating house turns down help from a boat and helicopter, saying “God will provide.” He dies, goes to heaven and tells God, “I thought you would protect me.” God: “well I sent you a boat and a chopper, dummy”
I think he was trying to say they’re/she may have accused him of lying so why did she show up. Problem with that: the remark goes viral without context. Oh, well!
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
The New Yorker…
And let’s not forget the “Unaffiliated.”
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire | The Seattle Times share.google/ngguhLNVaiFw... ICE are now interfering with the fighting of active forest fires and the protection of lands and property by arresting fire fighters. People who risk their lives to protect others.
He’s doing what trump wants. trump is doing what Putin wants. That’s it.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
So much for thoughts and prayers. They were literally praying when they were shot. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...
I hear they're trying to win their original klientele back now.
Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country
??? Will there BE another election?
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚
But if these videos reduce the number of people who enlist, trump (Putin) gets that much closer to his goal
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
This reminds me of details in basic training! This is so degrading, these people have actual jobs that are suffering because of Trumps narcissism! They are literally finding shit for them to do, like being sanitation workers.
If only you actually could read something that might gainsay your beliefs. And “Truth only excepted”?? LOLOL
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
I’m positive his fans will be waiting at Dealey Plaza
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
John Bolton answers back, unafraid!! www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/belt...
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
They can’t win if they don’t cheat
This. 100%.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Hey, is this the same "Nick Shirley"? A wingnut "influencer"? www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
Yes! I also saw a post that white women are putting Mexican stickers on their cars. Getting pulled over by ICE is wasting ICE’S time and money.
You couldn’t have said it any better
Or wait around Dealey Plaza for him to reappear
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
As much as I love Pete, and Kamala - it has to be who can pull voters from the other side and the unaffiliated
I completely agree. Don, Jr., and Eric have talked about running (like a dynasty - LOL) which I think would be great. Either one will be crushed.
As he drives away in his emotional support truck.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
Let's not forget this headline of a few months ago: US intel shows Russia and China are attempting to recruit disgruntled federal employees, sources say. It's only a matter of time before Trump's utter disregard for America's national security comes back to bite us in the ass. tinyurl.com/28s6bdwk
