MAGA was so afraid that Biden had dementia and was too old to be reelected so they elected an old guy with dementia, paranoia and a long list of grievances.

Good times.

If your culture does not believe in taking care of its elders,who are tired, then your culture is highly disturbing. My culture celebrates its elders because they have much wisdom, yet they also deserve rest, and respect.

Who would have thought that 25 times as many people would be getting their daily news updates from a Boston College history professor (Heather Cox Richardson, who has 2.5 million subscribers) than from the Washington Post.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

I usually get my best ideas for fixing stories while I'm walking the dogs, but tonight's epiphany came when I gave up on writing and decided to make dinner. Dinner was decent--an attempt to not let well the gorgeous carrot and turnip greens go to waste --but now I'm excited to get back to story

Without the extension of ACA credits, healthcare costs will increase nationwide. Wyoming will see a 693% increase, while West Virginia could see as high as 654%.

We need to make healthcare affordable, not crush Americans with high costs.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

So far the Israeli military has only said the group "approached its soldiers."

People walking towards you is not a reason to shoot them.

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

The questions remain. Why did White House border czar Tom Homan accept a bag with $50,000 cash? Who was it from? What was promised in exchange? Why did the DOJ close the investigation? How does bribery and corruption make America great? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Pressed on Tom Homan controversy, JD Vance and Pam Bondi struggle to answer
The attorney general and the vice president confronted straightforward questions about the scandal surrounding the border czar. Both Republicans struggled.
