“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

Heading back to the comfort of Dream Harbor after the intense thriller I just finished. Sometimes you need some romance recovery and who doesn't love a good bookstore romance, right?

AOC excoriated Vance here.

Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.

After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

Speculation here is that Tim Walz is prepared to use the Minnesota National Guard to protect the citizens of his state

FROM ICE

This may be as close as America has come to a Civil War since the Supreme Court issued the Brown v Board of Ed case and began the process of integrating schools
It looks like Tim Walz is not playing.

"I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

Google the video & see for yourself.

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

Sickening.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Through EO on Day One, Mayor Mamdani has rejected New York’s adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism & cancelled the city’s opposition to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

This is a big win for ppl protesting for a Free Palestine—and gives them more space to organize

"An unforgettable heroine is faced with an unbelievable crime in this snarky, charming locked-room mystery that asks: would you rather be snowed-in with a ghost, or a murderer?"

Love the little skulls in the center of snowflakes.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

"Three bickering half sisters.

One unique antiques shop.

The coziest holiday season of their lives."

I am a huge fan of dysfunctional family holiday reads and films. So excited to dive into this festive book.
