I’ve never understood why others don’t think we’re allowed to mature, learn, become more informed, develop, change opinions. I have very different opinions at 60 than I did at 20 & 30. I’ve grown as a person.

I’m all in on this (conspiracy?) theory.
The shingles vaccine made my husband feel icky. None of them bothered me.

You can read the study here It’s actually pretty positive www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Absolutely. Their goal has always been to eliminate contraceptives.
Apparently the golf pics they released were a week old. His PR team thinks the public is too stupid to figure it out.
I feel that way every day

Kuschner advertised this plan last year? It was always their plan to starve the Palestinians. Eliminate them. Destroy their homes and steal their land.
What happened to the investigation into the porn images on his computer? Or was that a fake investigation? This guy is toxic as hell.
Eggs. So many eggs.
This new Missouri map was written by a 23-year-old bro in Washington, DC who has never walked into a public school cafeteria in Jackson, Clay, Platte, or northern Cass County. Own goal incoming.
Vance and Johnson are next in line. They’re all bad. Will the maga cult follow them?

Watch for many more distractions by Trump and his administration on September 3rd because of the Epstein files.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Hypocrisy & lawlessness is the republican way of life.

Republicans have a super majority in Missouri. Have had for 22 years. kehoe says he’s doing this to ensure representation for all the people. For Democrats like me? What. A. Liar.
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Guns. Are guns a common denominator? White men. Are they a common denominator? What percentage of mass shooters were trans? What percentage were white men. And what percentage used guns?
The kids are ignoring the situation
Just because trumps admin is supposed to pay, doesn’t mean they will. Lawlessness is their M.O.
Good riddance. What’s she pivoting too?
I don’t watch any of it

I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
They also fail to acknowledge that they’ve defunded access to mental health care. Are defunding access to all healthcare.
Yes. Mental health is a problem. However, the murderer couldn’t have used his mental health to physically kill anyone. He used a gun because it is easily available & very effective. If a gun wasn’t available, how would he have murdered people in a locked building? A bomb, fire, ?
Amazing!

Soooo - johnson has no defense. He didn’t deny that his state has high crime rates. Didn’t deny that Newsom was right. Defer & deflect. That’s all they’ve got. The “news” anchors didn’t push for answers. Useless.
In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ security detail and caused a mutiny at the CDC. Meanwhile, nothing about the Epstein files. Where are they?
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
They claim to be “Christians” ~ ones that follow a different set of commandments 💀
ICE should try firefighting.
He’s a vindictive petty felon.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
I block someone every day. Liberally. Without regrets. Zero tolerance for hateful speech. Racism. Etc. Helps eliminate the riff raff.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Isn’t “extremely alarmed” her permanent state of mind? It’s a normal day for her. In other words - meaningless.
Does he really not know that russia attacked Ukraine?

I teared up getting my 1st covid shot. I was so relieved to have the protection of a vaccine. My husband & I get a covid shot every 6 mths. To all republicans who allowed him to be in charge of public health … if I could curse you, I would.
His parents allowed it. The criticism starts there.
From Costco to Kroger, Project 2025’s Christian nationalist network is weaponizing culture wars against corporations. Fake victories—like Costco never selling abortion pills—mask a real, systematic campaign reshaping corporate America Read more:
He means this. Don’t blow it off. When ever is says things in a “joking” manner, he absolutely means it.
They’re advocating for him to be a dictator. Not sure how these sycophants live with themselves. They debase their souls to kiss trumps ass.
No Bill! - Joyce Vance open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
How demeaning. They joined the military to protect the USA from…. Garbage? Actual garbage, trash? No. I’m not referring to people.
I agree. He handles the criticism respectfully. Stays for the entire meeting. Let’s people speak. He is listening even when he disagrees. I think that’s why his audiences aren’t yelling. Most GOP reps who hold town halls can’t handle the criticism and conflict. They bail.
The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
For what reason? She’s done nothing here. Nothing. She’s just like her husband.
53 cities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher crime rates than D.C. in 2024. Despite this, these states deployed their own National Guard troops to help address D.C.'s newly declared "crime emergency."
True. Vance is supremely unlikeable. Condescending.

Me, husband, 2 friends were in Chicago in July. We walked, took the EL train everywhere. Always felt safe. People were so helpful as we tried to figure out which train to take. Which side of the tracks to be on. Went to Cubs game in our KC Royals gear. No one threatened us. Had a great time!
Line of succession: Vance, Johnson. All bad options.
I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Exactly. They want to create violence between citizens & the military so they can declare martial law.
Straight truth from Tim Wise on Immigration. History American history
I think people like Stephen Miller want things to escalate with the public. He wants the military and the public to clash. That gives them the excuse to declare the streets are lawless. The military is needed and declare martial law.
From time to time I come across a personal story about life in Trump’s America that’s so powerful that I want to share it with you. This is an op-ed titled "My Family Lives in the Shadow of the American Dream." I encourage you to read it. robertreich.substack.com/p/life-in-th...
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
So dumb. Wasteful. They can’t spray?
Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.
Was he dragging his right leg?

My granddaughter read it in 8th grade ELA.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.
As much as I dislike the way trump belittles people, calls them derogatory names - has tarnished the presidency, I am all in on ridiculing him.
Wonder who this man works for. Would his employer be comfortable being represented by this guy? Let’s find out. Oh, and he speaks English perfectly. 2/2
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
Last year, in an address to the Society for the Rule of Law Institute (@chkbal.bsky.social), Ambassador John Bolton warned that, if elected to a second term, Trump would abuse and corrupt the Justice Department to carry out retribution. Watch. (ht: @greggnunziata.bsky.social)

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
Fuck the Texas GOP.
No lies told here.

Team TACO stonewalling on the Epstein files? I’m shocked. Shocked, I say.🤨
Parker is a true warrior with relentless spirit ✊ Parker was shot in the head in June.. she spent weeks in the hospital with a broken skull and a blood clot in her brain. Now out, she's back at the LA Music Festival.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
Sounds like a celebration parade is warranted!
