You know, I'm not going to go on about Mitch McConnell's age. Everyone knows he's old, and everyone knows he should have retired years ago when he had his first "event." However, I will never stop saying he is one the WORST people to ever be in government. #FuckMitchMcConnell

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

Putting aside what I want to say about Mitch McConnell falling over, please remember for older people who you care about, the first priority should NOT be getting them back on their feet. Injury assessment including for orientation to their surroundings FIRST before moving them.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

You can do as many fire drills as you like, in the end they are barely going to make any difference when actual survival and self-preservation instincts kick in during a real emergency. Nobody is going to queue quietly and calmly walk to the exits with a fire on their arse.

BREAKING:
Pam Bondi said the Epstein files are on her desk and she'll be releasing them tomorrow!

Wait, sorry, she said that 8 months ago.
I think maybe she was lying.

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law.

I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.
