I love where I live. BUT apparently, it is too remote for Amazon to deliver within a week. Packages then wait at the USPS office for pick up. Really? It's been 2 weeks since my Amazon order. Is this MAGA country treatment? Does the rest of the country really get 2 day delivery in 2 days???

Why am I paying for Amazon if they won't deliver? I know, gotta find a different way with so few choices available. Walmart delivery, I guess. There is no other way.

I heard a point on talk radio that resonated with me. Jerry Springer's audience turned to politics to yell and be hateful. Can we PLEASE change tactics and give the Springer/MAGA crowd some other place to play, and yell, and be ugly. How can we get MAGA out of politics and into another arena?

If Trump's threat to remove Iran from the face of the earth isn't enough for Congress to remove him, what will it take? Removing 93 million Iranians? Would Congress do it then? I am so shocked by how selfish Republicans are. It's time to sacrifice yourselves for the greater good, Republicans.

Voting blue down ballot is the most important thing to be done. If you want to impeach and remove anyone, down ballot has to be willing and able. They have to be in place. Blue wave at the bottom!

Three US presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump (who was impeached twice). No president has ever been convicted by the Senate or removed from office through the impeachment process. We need to make Trump be the first to be removed.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Living in a red state, I encounter many people who say they are Republican, but say they don't like or voted for Trump. If you vote for any Republican, you are voting for Trump. Don't they understand that a down ballot R vote is for someone who will always support and never impeach/remove Trump?

I really can't understand why MAGA can't see that every human is someone's baby. There is/was a mother out there who wants her child to be treated well by the rest of humanity. Alex had a good mom. Those in detention have mothers who taught them to do anything to give their family a better life.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Worf gets lots of bad press for being a bad parent. He's a Klingon. #TNG Season 7 episode 21 "Firstborn" is real stuff. Yea, we suck. But, sometimes we don't and that is everything. #TNG #Worf

Let's see if I understand the thesis that bluesky/P2025 posits. Remove all the workers and those poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. With tariffs and the world refusing to do business with us, we are forced to build our own factories using machines not workers to make what we need. Great.

Politicians are liars. Isn't that what the MAGA voters have been saying for decades? And now they believe their Republican representatives that say it's a good bill for them? Politicians are liars, MAGA, don't believe yours.

I wonder if Republicans would notice if their social media accounts blew up with follows and unfollows, just to show them that they are being watched more closely than usual.

The BBB is not pro-life. But is pro death. It is not pro-choice because you cannot choose life. If you qualify for medicaid because you have no money, you can't pay doctors out of your own pocket. If you get sick, you can't work nor find a job with health care benefits. Pro-lifers are liars.

Chris Jansing asked the right question - "If R's know this bill is bad for the people, won't their voters remove them? Isn't this as relevant a threat at Trump's threat?" Do R's think elections are rigged in their favor, so they don't have to worry about the people's vote? Only the primary? Yikes.

So we may lose rural hospitals. Will rural doctors set up local ER's to treat the uninsured, so they are not medevaced out and bankrupted? Or will they continue to bill at full price? Will doctors take a turn at sacrificing? They do benefit from the BBB, yes? I haven't heard docs protesting yet.

I wonder how the recent Supreme Court ruling about birthright citizenship will affect #adoption. I am thinking of a 15 year old who wants to place their child for adoption. Does the mom's status affect this process? FYI - many young kids don't even know they are undocumented.

My children are still struggling their mother wasn't a perfect person, a perfect parent. I am still struggling waiting for them to want to know me as a real person and a real parent. Wait I will, until they are older. And then they will love me again as when they were 2. As I still love them.

The atheists will tell you this after studying Jesus: Jesus wanted NOTHING but to get people to help the disadvantaged and vulnerable. Jesus would support Medicaid, Medicare for all, open borders, progressive tax code. Proof? He overturned tables, loaves and fishes, Sermon on the Mt., Lazarus

#generalhospital is promoting anti-adoption. Brooke Lynne's story is showing us that even a closed adoption can be a humiliating disaster. Society and media is anti-adoption, and they are right! Thank God they are not portraying Brooke Lynne as messed up as most birth mothers are portrayed.

I can't stand RT wing media for the hate thrown at liberals. Left wing media is now using the same ugly words. Is BBC and David Muir all that is left for me? If your 5 year old child was standing next to you, would you still use the same words while creating your podcast of news?

A person outside of our borders can absolutely be brought back by our government. Our government gets Americans back from other countries all the time. This is one function of embassies. Why isn't another country offering to take him? I would find it hilarious if Canada would take him.

Being a young Democrat isn’t enough—I have to prove that I’m ready to fight. I believe in bold leadership, real change, and putting people before politics. I’m not entitled to your support—I have to earn it. Here’s what I stand for ⬇️

The court system is too slow. Lawyers and judges need to empower their profession by hearing cases and getting orders out more quickly. Get the staff in place, so all things can be expedited. Justice deferred is justice denied. Find a way to fund pro bono work, so justice is accessible to all.

If the Dems appear to be rising up on mass, the Republicans may feel they are losing the people, their power, and their own re-election. This is the only way for the Republicans in Congress to all revolt against Trump and impeach, convict and remove. Polling needs to show they can't be re-elected.

Ok, so the fed/Trump tax rate for the top brackets are probably going to pay no taxes. Gotcha. Can states raise their tax rates on the top brackets? Let the states implement a huge progressive tax system? I'm ok if the 1% move to the red states to avoid it. Just an idea. Need opinions on this.

A teacher once explained why white people must be anti-racist: Someday the most beautiful white privileged beneficiary will be old, ugly, and vulnerable. We must structure our society to not benefit based on looks but character and values. "Anti-racism will protect you some day."

During our lives we all move from box to box. First we are in the dependent child box, then student, then worker, etc. When we are in the "I earned this good life" box, it will change too. We might have a health crisis, accident, family crisis, war, or just old age. We must protect all boxes.
