I like my margaritas on the rocks no salt. Socially awkward yet also socially conscious. Just glad when I make it through the day and both socks match.

I am SO TIRED of hearing that Trump had some sort of mandate. Of all of the eligible voters that could have voted, he only had 31.4%. That is NOT a MANDATE. And for the people that DID vote, he got 1.5% more than Harris. ALSO NOT a MANDATE.

📍 Salem Municipal Airport Part of today’s Nationwide Day of Protest against Avelo Airlines. It takes all of us to make change. Together, we can stop these deportation flights and stand up for justice + due process. #StopAvelo #DontFlyAvelo #StopDeportationFlights #NationwideDayofAveloProtests

Foreign governments and individuals are stuffing money into the president's pockets to influence his actions. Could not be more clear or obvious. Unprecedented corruption - and *exactly* what the Founders feared.

Foreign officials are under no illusions that by approving Trump Organization developments they're doing anything other than paying a bribe to the president of the United States. They know it, he knows it, the only people who are fooled are in the American public. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/w...

The New York Times is reporting that four of the top partners at Paul Weiss are leaving in order to create their own law firm. Paul Weiss capitulated to the Felon. Weiss’s deal with Mephisto pledged $40 million in free legal work to support mutually agreed causes with the administration.

#MorningVibe WOTD - chicanery. Let’s use it in a sentence! Donald Trump and the Republicans often resort to chicanery—through misinformation, legal manipulation, and obstruction tactics—to advance their political agenda and maintain power. 🗣️beverlymahone, IG

Today, we remember Uvalde. We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down. The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive. The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies. We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or affording lifesaving medical care. But, Republicans in Congress are forcing families to make this choice by gutting Medicaid funding. Now is NOT the time to stay silent– keep speaking out about #Medicaid!

Funny, but when I was a federal prosecutor, people, including folks I know to be conservative Republicans, were absolutely adamant about prosecuting pay-to-play schemes that were much less bold and audacious than this one. Those folks all seem to have gone into hiding now.

Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.

This is for you, Marco Rubio! It’s taught in elementary school. And yes, you have to answer to the Judicial Branch. #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

The trump admin. has the US Coast Guard removing 350 buoys in the waters from the Canadian boarder down along the east coast to New York. That’s not all. In the next five years, up to 1000 more are scheduled for removal. This is sure to endanger commercial fishermen and other boaters #USDemocracy

When I was born, women needed a man's co-signature to have a credit card. Many women born more recently don't understand just how far we have come. Unfortunately, many don't realize how far we still have to go. This kind of crap is still embedded in our system, and it is getting worse again.

Trump is ripping water infrastructure funding from blue states—and it's exactly why I voted against the Republican CR that gave him the authority to do it. This is a dangerous precedent that cannot stand. People need to know the President is abusing our taxpayer dollars.

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him? Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?

This isn’t getting nearly enough attention. Estonian navy is stopped at intercepting a shadow fleet vessel because a Russian Sukhoi Su-35 violated Estonian air space. This reduces even the implausible deniability to 0, which Russia has been relying on with the shadow fleet.
