Ten years ago, I bought a blouse for a funeral even though it was too small. It was so pretty—the style and lace reminded me of something from Downton Abby. I held on to it thinking I’d fit it someday. Today, was that day. For one minute. I put it on it was too big, so I immediately gave it away.

I drove to Waterloo, Iowa yesterday and passed many farms along the way. There are far too many GOP candidate signs out there for me to believe Iowa goes blue next month. I think Iowa farmers love their party’s racism, culture wars, and the promise of Trump bailouts. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

As church sexual abuse survivors use their voices to fight for laws to protect our children, candidates like Sarah Stevens are refusing to even acknowledge survivors like Katie Trout. Katie joins me on how someone like Stevens on the highest state bench is dangerous. youtu.be/lX_Z_cqo49I?...

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

omg

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

But, of course, Convicted Felon Donald Trump is looking for more ways to screw over the American people. How does a new golf course lower the cost of gas and groceries?

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Fair Q

CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? Alabama Republican lawmakers have gone silent after one of their own Rep. Brett Easterbrook was arrested for attempting to solicit sex from an underage prostitute. Sure does remind us of the TNGOP with Rep. David Byrd. www.al.com/politics/202...

Short version: Russia was never a hoax

Note: the Alexander Brothers represented Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in their 2021 purchase of a Florida mansion for $24 million.

When emotionally immature adults pout, let them.

They’really trying to lie their way through it 🤥

For real 👇

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Glad I can sew. I’ve been altering my clothes, adding drawstrings to workout pants and put elastic in jeans bought on sale that ended up being too big after hernia surgery. Still losing and down several sizes after 40+ lb loss, I just got new sweaters, sweatshirts, a jacket and 2 new bras on sale.

Yikes — abc news has fallen… “outright deleted” a story about the Trump boys getting billions in government contracts 🤔👇🏽

NEW: Maybe it's time to take a good look at all these deaths in the Epstein-Trump orbit. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/dead-men-t...

Sometimes I think about how Trump proposed we make housing affordable by creating 50 year mortgages and I laugh and laugh. So bitterly funny.

Me, a Dakota person, being drawn to the design of a sweater Kyle Richards wore on RH Ultimate Girls Trip 2026, and learning it’s from a Ralph Lauren collab with an Oceti Sakowin designer couple, Jocy and Trae Little Sky. At almost $700, that’s way too rich for my blood, but okay, represent.

I’m totally healed up now, but since my surgery this summer whenever anyone in my family tries to give me a back rub, our dog puts himself between the family member and me, while barking and growling at them, with his tail wagging too. Idk what the heck he thinks is happening.

BREAKING A federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center's Trump-installed board to UNSEAL the 163-page report (with redactions) on the $250M+ renovation plan and two year closure. The Board also must unseal a related Powerpoint. Doc buff.ly/E6jyjGl

Two arms, four vaccine shots. Shingles and flu in one, Hep B and Pneumonia in the other. Shingles side is already itchy and sore. 😕

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 In July 1967, 19-year-old PFC Robert L. Hunt Jr. (below) returned home on leave to Cairo, IL. Hours after being arrested, he was found hanged in a jail cell. The ruling: suicide. Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

A city that once held over 15,000 residents collapsed as businesses closed and population fled over the following decades. It is said that racism is expensive, my friends. It's true. What was once a vibrant place to live is now a ghost town. (cont) allthatsinteresting.com/cairo-illinois

Plague outbreak in Russia from a lab. We MUST ban all commercial flights to and from Russia NOW

New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."

Seems to be a pattern here...

Brooke Rollins: "This is the magic of Trump 2. We learned our lesson in Trump one. We had four years to prepare. And then we were able to come back and just start deconstructing the administrative state. So we’ve moved almost 6 million people off of the SNAP program."

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

This is hilarious. 😂 😂

I don’t usually watch award shows, but I just tuned into the Emmys. Okay, Mariska! My family ate leftovers, so now I’m eating GLP-1 girl dinner: Triscuits, cheese, and an apple. I prepped 2 lbs each of celery and carrots for upcoming soup meals. I’ve also got homemade chicken stock simmering.

ALL Americans are hurting and paying more for things because of the high price of diesel caused by Republicans. MANY businesses are hurt, EVERYONE pays more for everything. So why the hell should farmers get our money in a bailout - especially when 75% of them voted for this.

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It’s that one time (maybe twice) a year when this Native mama makes fry bread for NDN tacos. It’s my oldest’s favorite birthday meal. That, and some form of pie. This year it’s chocolate cream. Happy Birthday to her! 🫶🏽🥳

We really did try to warn everyone

my bet is that he'll flip if it's a 50-50 or 51-49 dem senate, so dems need to somehow get to 52 to be safe

“Though it’s estimated that around 5 to 12 percent of women in the U.S. have lipedema, it still takes, on average, about 10 years to receive a diagnosis, according to the Lipedema Foundation …” I have it (genes, both sides of my family). More should be done to treat it. apple.news/AQUCRxDiYRIi...
