Friends, I was at the grocery store today when a lovely older man approached me with a bunch of carnations in his basket & handed me one. I smiled & thanked him. He said, don’t you want to know why? I said, yes please. It was his wife’s birthday. She had been gone “a while.” We proceeded to chat. 1/
Or people are just tired of sexual predators in office. 🤷‍♀️

Risky link but worth the click
Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.

Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

Michael Steele is on @msnbc.com correctly noting that one reason the GOP doesn’t seem concerned about plummeting poll numbers or tonight’s results is that they have been hard at work to out their finger on the scale in 2026.

Key election offices and observers have been MAGA-fied.

Today is Election Day in Texas and across the country.

Let me be clear: every single election matters.
Not just the “big” ones. Every. Single. One.

So if you haven’t voted yet, grab your ID, call a friend, and make your plan to get to the polls.

I’m willing to bet they raided the account.
This is what will cause a break. I’m just not sure if the democrats have the stomach for it.

They need to be hammering home that there was a cloture vote on judges just yesterday. So it’s not like they can’t do it.

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard.

If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.
In a grotesquely perverted way, this entire disaster that Trump has fabricated may actual bring humanity back together again.

At the minimum, at least it shows that there are people who care about them.
I’ll say it again - if he truly didn’t know this guy &/or what he did that he wanted a pardon for (which, FWIW may very well be true) then the 25th amendment MUST be invoked (or impeached).

Bonus: if the Senate filed it, then Johnson would be forced to convene within 48 hours.

Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.

We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”

We’ve seen this play out before.
If he doesn’t know he pardoned the guy then they need to invoke the 25th amendment or impeach him.

Trump's incoherent answers to Norah O'Donnell raise new questions about Joe Biden's mental fitness.
So impeach him immediately because he’s clearly mentally unfit.
They benefit, and then when the banks crash we bail them out.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I believe this is universal. It rains approximately 200 days a year in south Florida and for the love of all that is holy, most drivers are incapable of doing more than 20 mph with their flashers on (which FL made legal, btw) in any given lane. God forbid there is also a truck in an adjacent lane.
Read: we want to be able to do illegal things unchecked. Because the whole checks and balances thing is inconvenient & time consuming.

I mean, it’s only worked for ~250 years, so why not scrap it.

This government shutdown is going to show folks where the rubber meets the road.

Republican-dominated states will not fund food assistance. Democratic-dominated states will.

We will all witness in real time what politicians think of their constituents.
He has been watching The Kingsmen. He wants to be Samuel L Jackson’s character, but with no virtuous motive. I am sure of it.

Republicans in Congress are taking an indefinite vacation & relinquishing their power to a wannabe king.

Without a Congress, we’re living in a dictatorship—not a democracy.
Trump: "I said, 'put it all into one bill and if we get it done, we're done for four years.' We don't need anything more from Congress."
He’s choosing a ballroom & to let his supporters go without food. He is choosing to inflict max pain & suffering because he truly doesn’t understand what pain & suffering is. He’s never been without food, or money, or gold leaf frescos. He’s never served his country. He’s only ever served himself.
