Strong supporter of our Constitution and Democracy. Our military deserves better than a CIC that calls them “suckers and losers”. Go Zags! Go Eagles unless they are playing the NINERS! #Resister #Ukraine 💓💗

What are you doing? Why are the Democrats taking a reactive stance as opposed to a proactive stance?
The Democrats are not demonstrating Leadership capabilities!
I will NOT give another penny to DNC or ANY Democratic candidate until I see you taking action!

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

They just recorded that Hurricane Melissa had the second strongest gust of wind ever recorded. The highest was:

253 mph • Barrow Island, Australia • April 10, 1996

Hurricane Melissa had a gust of wind at 241 mph. 🥺

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Trump Brags About Taking Dementia Test as Shutdown Has No End in Sight
The government has been shut down for 27 days—and this is what the president is talking about
“a very, very low bar for somebody who carries the nuclear launch codes...nothing to brag about:”
newrepublic.com/post/202291/...

The “cognitive tests” that Trump is bragging about so proudly—and condescendingly telling two outspoken, progressive women of color to take—is most likely some variation of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The MoCA is a 10-minute assessment designed to identify signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, and yet Trump talks about it like it was the Graduate Record Examinations or the LSAT.

Trump visited Walter Reed Medical Center earlier this month, raising questions about whether he once again took the dementia test on this visit.

The president has been bragging about this test for years now.
