If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

BLACKFRIDAYCYBERMONDAY sales are very extra this year. Retailers who never have sales are having significant sales. I don’t think that’s a great economic indicator…

Trump hasn’t stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.

We need red flag laws.
We don’t need weapons of war on our streets.
I was just in Minneapolis and the city is lovely for sure, but the people made it better welcoming us with their kindness. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. We MUST do better. We must.
