I may be older, but I’m educated, engaged and opinionated. I’ve been around the block a few times and not afraid to say what I think. My kids think I’m a rockstar so please don’t tell them I’m not! 🐸🐸

Trump: "I said, 'Melania, how great was I, baby? Was I great? Can anybody do it like I do? How good was it?'"

PATRIOT TRANSFERS TO UKRAINE BLOCKED Hegseth and Trump are still blocking third party states from transferring Patriot missiles to Ukraine. They continue to obstruct the process and come up with excuses to deny missile transfers even as dozens of people die every day. It’s inexcusable.

Israel’s ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon and Gaza has reached a scale unseen since the Nakba. The history of Israel’s offensives shows how depopulation is soon followed by annexation.

If they’re going to go on TV and tell lies then they need to be held legally accountable for those lies.

I hope El-Sayed's parents, who are private citizens, hire a good lawyer and sue the fuck out of this fool for defamation. Enough.

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.”

Jane Fonda and I have a few things in common, including a commitment to protecting our planet. I will always keep fighting to protect what makes Oregon so special.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Flávio Bolsonaro is a fugitive from justice facing numerous serious felony counts. He is not a victim of political persecution of any sort, and any suggestion to that effect is ludicrous. bsky.app/profile/john...

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

Texas voter: My hometown is Rockport, Texas. When I wear my Talarico shirt there, I get people stopping me at the stores and telling me they've been Republicans all their life, and they're voting Talarico. They're voting Hinojosa. They're voting Bobby Pulido, because they're tired of the corruption

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. What we've been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for information. They've shielded Alex's killers.

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We're begging for the Justice Department to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

To recap— Obama clowned Trump’s decorating taste, and they tried to turn it into an attack on the common man whose affordability concerns Trump is belittling as he crushes farmers and workers with a pointless war of choice to build himself a giant ballroom and pockets billions🤷🏼
