Old white woman who's still got fight in her. Criminal investigator for a federal agency, hoping my job won't get nuked until I can retire (2 years!); Mom, Grandmother who loves to bake, cook and garden; family genealogist (since 1979).
SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters.
A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself.
This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.
Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims
Any 2028 candidate who does not champion universal healthcare is a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Pam Bondi is covering up the most heinous of all crimes-the rape & trafficking of young girls.
She is complicit not only in the biggest corrupt, coverup in American history, but by participating in protecting these rapists & pedos, she has become one.
Bondi belongs in prison.

My daughter in law's uncle is locked up at Alligator Alcatraz. He is from Cuba but is a legal resident and has been here since the late 70s/early 80s. My heart breaks for all of the people who have been locked up, assaulted and treated so badly.
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.
LEFT: Grok lying about what the Dems said
RIGHT: Chat GPT fact-checking Grok on what the Dems actually said
Bottom Line: Elon is building a weapon of mass disinformation and right wing propaganda in Memphis
To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?
What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/
I bought my son a Furby when they first came out. We opened it up and he said "it's kind of creepy mom" - it opened it's eyes and said "don't be scared". It went straight outside to the trash can.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
#Genealogy#stubbornmystery This is the grave marker for Pocahontas Madora Whitten (nee Rogers). It's kind of hard to see, but at the bottom there's a carving that reads "she and her 3 little ones rest in peace". She would have been 29 at her death and I can't find anything about the
circumstances surrounding her death. It looks as if the part at the bottom was added after the grave stone was made. I'm guessing that she might have died in childbirth - giving birth to triplets? She had 4 children that survived. I can't find any obit or news article.
My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.
#Genealogy A newspaper mention of when my dad was released from the Army after WWII. They were living in Buntyn Station at the time. 40 years later, I too would live in Buntyn Station when I was in Law School.
#Genealogy. I love going through old newspapers. There was a rabies outbreak in Memphis in 1931. My dad, aunt and grandparents all had to undergo rabies shots. Back then, they gave you multiple shots in your belly several times over the span of a week or weeks. My dad said it was painful.
Lawrence says Boebert tweeted a taunting tweet to the administration after having THE meeting in the Situation Room.
THEY KNOW SOMETHING

BOEBERT TAUNTED HIM???
THEY KNOW SOMETHING AND AREN'T AFRAID OF HIM ANYMORE
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.
Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.
They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.
Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.
@schumer.senate.gov YOU ARE DISGUSTING. You just sold us out for nothing. I'd say shame on you - but you are incapable of shame. You are not fit for the job you hold and remain a huge disappointment.
