That’s fair.

Only Congress can decriminalize cannabis.

Oh sweetie, I’m not going to nod along to some fool who doesn’t understand what what Congress or the President does.

Have fun with calling down your rainbow unicorn who will fix the world.

Bye.

The POTUS doesn’t control law enforcement. It’s cities and states that control their local law enforcement.

What.

I didn’t even think you were this stupid.

Or maybe it’s time to vote?

Only Congress can do those things.

Please take a civics class.

Mamdani hasn’t won yet.

I like the dude and would vote for him, and he’s got a lot to offer. But he hasn’t even won yet.

A bit ahead of your skis are you?

In Congress, I worked with both parties to get things done and lower costs for Virginia’s families.

You can trust I’ll take that same approach as Virginia’s next Governor.

You need to stop making excuses for white people who chose fascism.

Intent = / impact.

It doesn’t matter what he wanted to do.

What did he actually do is what defines it as a genocide.

(And honestly it seems the jury is still out on that, although it’s clear he’s committed war crimes)

Sorry, it was more than that I checked.

My heart is with those families.

Over coffee, I updated @repemilyrandall.bsky.social on what is happening in the Senate right now: Republican leaders STILL would rather shut down the government than even talk to Democrats about how to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

She wasn’t a status quo candidate when she proposed that caretakers receive governmental assistance so they could care for disabled and elderly people at home.

Stop parroting propaganda and start doing your homework.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

I dunno about the rest of you, but the litmus test for the rest of my life will be "how many times did you vote for Trump?" And if the answer isn't zero, I'm open to forgiving 1 vote if it was 2016. Beyond that? We don't need to be friends.
