Still no healthcare plan, or even concepts of a plan, after they gave Lesley Stahl an empty book.

And people STILL believe a single word coming out of trump's mouth? Absolutely ridiculous.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

The interstate was closed at the time, as artillery was set to be fired as part of a Marine celebration, but one round exploded early.

Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

I was denied a COVID vaccine yesterday in Texas. I was told they were following the CDC mandate, were not to administer any COVID vaccines and were sending them all back to the CDC. I said that we should not be following anything Kennedy (a heroin addict and not a Dr.) says.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela?

The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships.

But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections.

If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting.

The president lacks the authority to take either step.

Free speech is gone!

Bluesky @bsky.app · Aug 22

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
