Every dem campaign ad should state: “ donald trump is taking away a public playground and park to build a private exclusive playground for his rich buddies, and you are footing the bill” I think the golf course is something joe regular could be made understand better than the ballroom et al

Re Cornell: if a fratboy got blackout drunk at a sorority, the women would put him to bed, place a plastic bag lined garbage can next to the bed,motrin and water on the nightstand and take shifts making sure he was still breathing in the night- they wouldnt rape him for 5 hrs with their friends

My daughters FIL is the history chair at a private middle/hs. For US250, he has been doing events exploring the declaration then and now. He moderated a panel discussion last week with 2 profs from UW-madison, former mayor of milwaukee and ambassador to luxembourg, and the bishop It was

such a thoughtful, engaging event - void of cultural/political ideology and grounded in what it means to be a citizen and what our duty is as citizens to live up to the ideals set forth in the declaration in the modern era In a time of such despair, it gave me hope that 70 kids will take with them

the tools to become civilly engaged and informed adults and start to leave behind the culture war noise

My daughter lost a tooth yesterday. My wife was traveling, so I handled tooth fairy duties. I left a $10 under her pillow, which I thought was v generous, but she woke up, saw the bill & said: "But why did the Tooth Fairy leave me $20 last time?" 😆 (I wasn't aware my wife had gone so over the top!)

My hot take on Lindsey Clancy I really believe the husband was having an affair with the woman he eventually married, she knew & fell into a downward spiral of “insanity” from the severe trauma Ive been there, trust me when i say i went crazy when my ex cheated. Her lack of mental care was criminal

Midnight library- a little to close to Dark matter for me A lot of these buzz books have been disappointing- lookin at you Yesteryear, Hello beautiful

The television stations are ready. I’m ready. The only person we haven’t heard from is the woman who believes she should be handed a six-year Senate term. Track how long it’s been since we first asked Darline to debate at DebateMeDarline.com.

My election take: Start talking about project 2025 again, what they have done already and what they still could do if not stopped Its no longer imagined harm- its real harm, expose them, make them own it

Heres the difference between us and them: We read natalies actually letters, see her severe mental health issues, and it instantly engenders empathy and compassion for this clearly broken human They would stomp her harder and more viciously when they smelled her blood in the water

Also i can hold 2 things at the same time Shes a truly sick person, and she has no business anywhere near the WH and should be removed immediately

Learned yesterday really smart people dont know what to do when confronted with their own lack of knowledge and facts that dispute their RW world view they gleaned from Fox Dont assume educated, science and fact based people can research or critically think beyond their own sphere

🚨Holy shit. Donald Trump just ruined any chance for Republicans to win the midterms. “TRUMP: “I don't want to hear about affordability.” That quote should haunt Republicans all the way to Election Day. #RepublicansStarveUs
