Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

That's his excuse, anyway. Is his "brain worm" a cover story for syphilis & heroin damage?

The GOP rejected an immigration reform bill supported by Bush 2. They need to keep this alleged issue alive to divide Americans.

In fact, someone woke up and relabeled people born at the end of the Baby Boom era "Gen Jones," an unflattering label for incorrect reasons, but at least an acknowledgement that late Boomers & their teenage Boomer parents have different worldviews.

Hey! I didn't ask to be born in 1960. I've been in this fight since protesting Gerald Ford & his pardon of Nixon 10 feet away from Ford & Bush 1. I knew in real time Ronald Reagan was a corporate shill, a liar, & a fraud. I did my best, but I don't control a generation long enough to include my mom.

ICE creep should be charged with DWI & child endangerment. ICE is okay with endangering the lives of their own children, a crime, so you can see why they have no compunction about endangering unrelated others.

🚨 Driving drunk with your kids in the car and thinking that is okay because you are an ICE agent answers all the unasked questions.

I laugh when MAGA creeps complain that a subject needs to be dropped, like it's old news nobody should care about, even if it just occurred a week ago. The Deep South has been fuming about the results of the Civil War since 1865. 3 days = old news. 160 years = still a big deal to Dixie racists.

As a Diamondbacks fan, I was beside myself when the cheapskate billionaire team owner (who most fans can't stand) prematurely gave up on the 2025 season by trading fan favorites Geno & Naylor to the Mariners. So I'm rooting for the Mariners. I hope they win the World Series.

This is not new. Medical misogyny has deep roots. The way the profession views women’s bodies as fodder for whatever they want to do is stunning. Check this blog post & be outraged (did you know that if you go to a teaching hospital they can use you for gyno practice while you’re under anesthesia?)

During chemo for breast cancer in 2023, I experienced debilitating fatigue like that described by long Covid patients. It's real, having all the energy suddenly drained from your body so you're incapable of doing anything. The medical establishment doesn't know how to treat it, so they ignore it.

Who the hell would anyone lick a toad, toxic or otherwise; & why does Arizona have to warn its citizens NOT to do that?

How ironic that Trump's dysfunctional DOJ might actually succeed in one prosecution . . . of a chickenhawk Republican, John Bolton, who put his book before his country. Oh, well!
