What is the Repubs’ deal about eliminating all medical care for Americans? The party of hate wants to kill low-income folks who can’t afford medical insurance. So freakin’ cruel.

Thank you so much, Jess! BTW, Fred Wellman, a vet who has a progressive blog, announced today he is running for Congress in Missouri’s 2nd Congresional district.

He can fire back with, “Oh yeah, well I’ll have my AG put you in jail”.

There’s fear in that guy’s eyes. He’s holding weapon & he’s afraid. We need to have continuous message playing at protests w/ICE thugs, saying, “you will be arrested if you shoot Americans, a federal pardon will not free you; your oath to the Constitution is to protect Americans, not kill them.”

Hang in there. Work now to make sure that doesn’t happen. Be hopeful and stop the pessimism, as it is demoralizing.

That “added security” can be misdirected by this admin to be more ICE thugs. Please defeat that budget!

Don’t think Kirk practiced spirited debate. He had the the deck in his favor on the college campuses, plus a home crowd who jeered any dissenters. His pod casters were decidedly one way. The only ones that were spirited were the ones I see at Oxford.

That must have been the Nebraska-Cincinnati game, that was played in Kansas City. Travis Kelce is a UC grad.

He was trained by Pelosi in traditional ways of fighting back. Need a street fighter.

If they’re going to start filming, maybe we should have masks too.

Why don’t you volunteer your time & people to save democracy,Mark? The Dems, & DNC are pathetically behind in all these guerilla warfare tactics, even after Obama’s team leaped on to social media to help him win in ‘08. We need people who know how to fight back, & you are ahead of the curve on this.

Maybe he was thirsty. Suggest putting a small shallow dish with water outside. Put a few rocks in it for the butterflies to land on.

Just so pathetic that politicos on the right need to blatantly lie like this.

Read somewhere that the Repubs giving her concessions for her vote would trigger the Senate Parliamentarian to invoke the Byrd rule, and require 60 votes for passage. She got screwed. Idiot.

That is hard to do since federal taxes are paid directly from the citizen, and do not go thru the state.

Love your spirit, guys! I’m with you. Let’s give them hell!

How many do you estimate were there? I was in Asbury Park, and thought we had 1.5K-2.0K.

Isn’t Huntington the home of the late Harry Chapin?

And if bird flu or any virus should cause a pandemic, please develop a vaccine and clinical trial it, because the US under Trump/Kennedy won’t do it.

Did anybody w/ a brain think that Musk was looking for greed, fraud, etc.? It was all about destroying departments investigating his companies; locking up contracts for his companies & voiding those of competitors; & writing new code for systems running our institutions, for some nefarious intent.

So what happens to that plasma? Does it form an asteroid as it cools?
