If you’re a politician, or expert of some sort, or think tanker, or anyone in the world of government and policy — and you care about the rule of law and constitutional norms — please, for the love of god, stop appearing on and cooperating with CBS shows. They’re just useful idiots at this point.

The average American has *no* idea how much America's economic prosperity, and often our citizens' very lives, owe to our top notch higher education...sadly, they're about to find out.

Annual reminder to clergy and ministers of all kinds:
The first celebration of Jesus’ birth involved a handful of people in a stable - not a packed cathedral or stadium.
The first Christmas choir only had one song, and their only audience were rough shepherds, who found it terrifying.

Again, this is all right in front of your faces. You can read any survivor’s story to find out names. This testimony is horrifying and I read it almost a decade ago so the least you could all do is know this.
Reminder that in June, 2016, a suit (w/witnesses) was filed against Trump re: his repeated raping of a 13 year-old child at an Epstein party.
(She wasn't a "teen," in anything but the most technical of senses. She was a 7th, maybe an 8th grader.)
We've known he was a child rapist THIS WHOLE TIME.

A woman claims Trump raped her at a party in 1994 when she was just 13 years old.

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

As I continually hope for the early (not early enough) demise of the orange guy, my spouse keeps saying Vance is worse.
I now see why.
But neither of them are really in charge, it’s the Project 2025 team.
Eff you to all the people who wouldn’t vote for a competent, intelligent Black woman.
