This is who republican people are. I really don't wish to share a country with them anymore. I love some of them. They're family. But I don't want to be countrymen with them. Awful is awful.

The United States government is dead. Let's be honest, do any of us really want to live in a country or under a government that peacefully tolerates republican people who are a threat to every life amd liberty that doesn't immediately benefit them? I'll tolerate just about anyone else.

Republicans are Anti-American. Americans are antifascist.

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

The #WTA250 in #Osaka is stacked for a 250. Unsurprisingly, Naomi #Osaka headlines as the 1 Seed, but the tournament features Jaqueline Cristian, Bouzas Maneiro, Mertens, Eala, Danilovic, Cirstea, Fernandez, Baptiste, and #Noskova.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

#Vacherot and #Rinderknech was worth it. These two cousins making the Finals at a 1000 in #Shanghai have treated us to some terrific tennis. I don't miss/mind not seeing Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic, or Medvedev.
