The Trump statue has finally been installed as part of Rapid City’s "City of Presidents" - months after tourist season, naturally. Apparently he spent the whole summer being babysat by the Visitors’ Center. Feels wildly on-brand. Honestly, this statue is so ugly it should come with a warning label.

Huh! Never thought of that. Of course they are. Bunch of pedo Republicans.

The truth couldn’t be clearer: today’s Republicans are obsessed with dragging women backward. They want us uneducated, barefoot, and pregnant. They are bending over backwards to shield abusers and chip away at women’s freedom, independence, and basic dignity. They are entitled, misogynistic thugs.
Mark my words, teaching will be next.
The regime is targeting loans for traditionally female occupations.

I realized it was only a matter of time for other professions once I heard the professional, moral, intellectual & ethical requirements to be POTUS were completely eliminated. 🤷🏻♀️

It's #thicktrunkTuesday. This tree grows in the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the site of the first and second battles of Bull Run. The first battle was the first major engagement of the Civil War. Bull Run is the stream that runs through the battlefield.

The more I travel, the more the world opens up to me. History, geography, culture, cuisine - each new place has left its mark. I’ve wandered across continents, and every journey has shaped me into someone a little wiser, a little braver, and endlessly more curious.

A successful election focusing on how to come together to "fix things" rather than on division and how to hate each other makes my heart so happy. Being in Virginia as this transpired just makes it all the sweeter.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I'm in Virginia tonight. I've been here for a week, traveling around the state. It was thrilling to see so many Spanberger signs. My family here is ecstatic!
