I am so sorry. Don't give up. If they have gotten any vaccines at all, the effects might not be as strong.
We come with our canes and our walkers, singly and by the bus load, and we vote. Take a look at the polling places near senior residences sometimes. We outnumber the young white business man who is too engrossed in his little bubble to take the time to actually vote.
Better outcomes for what?
And I hope she laughs that laugh of hers loud and long, all the way to the bank.
My go-to lunch is Doritos. Somehow, they just seem to sneakliy show up under my hand instead of the salad in the fridge.
Don't forget to dance to the Masochism Tango in remembrance.
And many of those on the Democratic side of the aisle as well. Unfortunately.
Can you show the increases in the cost of the things included in the COLA? Like bread, milk, cereal, chicken, gas, rent, housing? That would really be helpful to everyone. Thanks
That would not be a "choice" for an ethical judge who took their oath seriously.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Yep... definitely nothing to see...

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
He is a citizen of 3 countries. Is it legal for him to start a political party?
All we have to do is to stand up and refuse to accept their bullying. There are millions of people doing just that.
How are we supposed to enforce a these wonderful new laws if they are passes? Will we have a special police force responsible to Congress? That enforcement would depend on the party on power, so that's not feasible. Ice? Homeland Security?
Hopefully your .on notices and slaps you silly
Ted Cruz Stripped Weather Forecasting Funds From Trump’s Megabill. Then the Floods Came. Among other things, he removed $150 million slated to improve modeling, predictions, and public communications.
One of the nicest pictures of love I have seen.
I have read them all and here we both are. That's probably one of the things that led us here, and that is a threat to the people who are banning the books
Trump said no one joined the military under Biden. This hero did. people.com/coast-guard-...

If you can afford a car, the raised price of gas, a,restaurant meal or two,and the luxury of a hotel.
TED CRUZ CAUGHT VACATIONING AS TRAGEDY STRIKES TEXAS...AGAIN The Daily Beast reports that Ted Cruz was vacationing in Europe as floods ripped through Central Texas, killing at least 89 people, including 27 campers and counselors from a summer camp. Link: www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-was...
It's an anti-semitic slur. He knows.
Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.
You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

Medicaid does the following: -Provides 1 in 2 kids health insurance -Keeps the majority of rehab and skilled nursing facilities open nationwide -Until today, had a rule in place to ensure minimum nurse staffing for patient safety This is the program the party of “MAHA” wants to gut.
We need to throw the GOP out. They’ve just handed us the playbook.
He had 5 red sirens too.
I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF
Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.
NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

He went out and walked the streets and spoke to the people in his district. He listened. He didn't sit on his ass and and write begging emails asking for money just because he was a member of a specific party. That's not enough any more.
I am trying, along with millions of others.
We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way. Don’t think this is a one-off.
Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.
Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.
The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.
One of my favorite go-to meals. But I usually add pepperoni and Greek olives.
Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.
Truth
NEVER FORGET the Corporate media wanted this Trump Regime chaos!
PLEASE, next interview ask him when he is going to stop talking and actually do something, since he has acknowledged that the president has acted illegally. So far, all he does is whine and ask for money on a daily basis.
Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸
The number of times I've thought about this exchange in the past week.
We outlive them by decades, but we never, ever, forget our best friends.
🤷🏾♂️
Yesterday's reachable goal, today's impossible dream. How the hell did we get so screwed up in just about half a century?
all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard
Trump’s attack against Iran is illegal and immoral. And any leader who tells you otherwise is lying to you.
I remember reading that book when it first came out and thinking, "Wow! Finally!!".
He's already been impeached. More than once. Arrest and trial.
Of course there is a plan! It's the removal of the idiot that sent them illegally. Stop crying about it and arrest him.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡
WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...
Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
True. And terrifying.
As I was saying.
How about "angered"? That would probably be more in tune with your constituents' feelings.
LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.
If you weren’t alarmed, incensed, shocked & horrified by the actions of Kristi Noem, the FBI, and Homeland Security last week, you’re NOT paying attention. May I suggest you look into finding a civics class to attend, pronto!! substack.com/@demwinsmedi...
California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.
The problem is in those two tiny words. "Out loud". They hide their true feelings and in secret, support people like Mike Lee. Because they know what he is and approve.
It's perfectly believable. It's been coming for 10 years. And about half of the country saw and opposed it vocally and in the polls. The rest either played the 3 monkeys game or gleefully supported it. Of the two, the supporters were at least honest. Disgusting, deplorable, depraved, but honest.
This is virtually accessory to murder. Too bad we can't charge them all.
The only thing that protects girls is other girls - Especially grown up ones. And sometimes not even them.
Definitely remember multiple wars. Born in 1945. Lost too many people to ever forget or be complacent.
For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this
There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.
May her memory be a blessing and an inspiration.
When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣
An act of violence against another human being should always be surprising. And the most shocking thing, in my opinion, is that any so called civilized person should even become so inured to the inhumanity of these acts to to write this type of headline.
Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"
Stupid is as Stupid does? tRump must have chosen the music, but at least some of those soldiers have to know what they are marching to.
The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?
Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.
MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful
Cops are shooting teargas in downtown LA. Not good.
There are some of us out there who consider 60 young. Senior citizens have a lot of experience to share. And really good protest songs.
No Kings in Pasadena
