Physician living and practicing in a swing state. I believe in fighting for our democracy and the rule of law. I am not a pundit and not a journalist. I appreciate great journalism that tells it like it is and gets to the facts.

Important stuff: If Mitch McConnell is dead, Kentucky has to hold a special election NOW and Thomas Massie (a thorn in Trump's side) would likely run. Republicans are hiding McConnell's condition to avoid holding a special election. From The Other 98%:

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

Average price of gas is up 50 cents nationally since Trump launched his war with Iran — the fastest spike at the pump in years. And for what? Trump can't even explain why he's forcing America into this disaster in the first place.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Ohio's Jim Jordan is often viewed as an attack dog, though he votes against people each time he can. Seems the only things he's done is run his mouth and *PERHAPS* cover up assault. If he didn't have hypocrisy, he wouldn't have anything but Napoleon syndrome. #ohiostate #Ohio #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I just read that Marco Rubio might be a Cuban spy asset, playing the long game and now he’s in our state department running that and foreign policy. OMG could this be true?
