Recently retired. Political news junkie since it’s vital to be informed. Enjoy gardening, oil painting, and playing with my pup who makes us laugh with her antics.

Conspiracy theories don’t put food on the table or gas in the tank.’ James Talarico nailed it. You can spend all day furious at some bullshit somebody posted and still be standing at the pump wondering what you can afford. The platform owners got paid, though. #momsky#sheshed #momthevote

President Obama: "I am energized by millions of Americans who are taking a stand and taking charge. This is what hope is all about. Use that hope to make a difference. The most powerful office in this country has always been that of "'citizen!'" Vote early. Vote Blue. Like your life depends on it.

Stop asking candidates if T won the 2020 election, which they all go silent on. Ask if Russia is a friend or foe. An ally or adversary.

Consider this your assignment for National Voter Registration Day. Head to IWillVote.com and check your voter registration status. Then send this to the group chat and make sure they check theirs, too. We all need to turn out this November and be too big to rig.

Oh, this is going to piss some folks off. They’ve repeated the lie so many times they thought nobody would check the receipts. We checked. Jeffries is the first Black party leader in congressional history, and the “bought by AIPAC” smear has been repeated like gospel. Here are the actual numbers.

Y'all. Your support over the last 48 hours has been truly unbelievable. Our people-powered campaign has raised 100K in just 48 hours. No corporate PACs. No billionaires. No establishment backing. Just hard earned money from hard working people.

Sometimes the lower rungs fall first. That’s how power protects itself. But gravity works on everyone. The powerful who enabled or participated in Epstein’s abuse won’t outrun consequences forever. Corruption collapses from the bottom up. Don’t lose faith. #TrumpIsGuilty

nbcnews.comLarry Summers to resign as Harvard University professor amid Epstein falloutSummers' connection to Epstein was long established, but emails published by House lawmakers showed the two men were closer than had been publicly known.

The large corporations will benefit first and the most. Perhaps they will lower some prices down the road, but consumers ain’t getting refunds.
