I check #SpotTheScammer & #SpotTheBot daily and I will NOT follow any account whose followers are littered with scam accounts and AI Bots mining followers.

No "auto" follows from me, ever. I check. If your account looks sketchy, I'll report & block it.

Which proves how gullible his followers/believers are because #tRump is NOT a patriot, a Christian, a faithful husband, or a good father.
He has shown us who & what he is repeatedly - a conman & a criminal.

Thank you 😊 This large family of deer - about 14 of them, visit our development's property often, and I just have to take their picture.

The return of Andrew Wakefield - the anti-vax 'supervillain'

Oversimplifying nature of problem by creating one big bogeyman can cause harm. It can muddle our understanding of healthy eating, blame the wrong people, and pave the way for bad policies

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 7d

Donald Trump thinks bailing out billionaires is an "essential service."

But making sure Americans' health insurance premiums don’t double? Not so much.

Senator Warren says: Because of the Republican shutdown, air traffic controllers and TSA agents aren’t getting their paychecks.

But one government function that President Trump didn’t want to shut down? Sending $20 billion in American taxpayer dollars to Argentina.

Why? The bailout for Argentina helps Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s billionaire hedge fund buddies.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
