I'm an older man in the autumn of his journey trying to fight aging and the risk of poverty. I'm searching for wisdom and will share what I find.

On Wednesday, Trump spent the day embracing Roosevelt’s legacy. But Roosevelt championed public service over self-service, duty over personal loyalty, and believed no president should be beyond criticism. The two men are polar opposites. It’s hard to imagine Roosevelt having any respect for Trump.

MacFarlane: $250 — who’d be carrying around that kind of bill in their wallet to begin with? It seems ornate. It seems like something royalty would carry, but at the same time, it’d be barely enough to cover the grocery bill for a family of four or five each week because prices are so high.

Solidarity with the nurses striking in Houlton, fighting for safe staffing levels. Understaffing kills patients every day. In the Senate I’ll support national safe staffing legislation, which is long, long overdue.

Stephen Colbert has absolutely no reason to do it, and ABC probably wouldn’t want the FCC headache, but it would be very funny if he spent Kimmel’s annual summer vacation guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Great quote from the movie Tombstone that is applicable to all billionaires and the Epstein Class: “A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it."

🚨 “I’m going to name names.” Outgoing GOP Rep. Thomas Massie just vowed LIVE on TV to publicly identify more people tied to the Epstein files before leaving Congress 😳 He accused the DOJ of hiding millions of documents and said even Melania Trump “knows Epstein didn’t act alone.” #Epstein #Trump

Media bias is often less about outright falsehoods and more about framing. Calling Cuba a “regime” instead of a government subtly delegitimizes it, while saying Cuba “rejected humanitarian aid” erases the possibility that the dispute was over the political conditions attached to the aid itself.

In this voting season, our strategy should all be the same. Red or Blue. We should be looking at resumes, not a bunch of promises. How has the candidate served, with specifics, the public’s interest. I’m not listening to ‘if elected’ anymore. Let me see your record.

This was the real deal with Iran. Trump broke this deal simply because President Obama made the deal. Obama is what I called a real President, a man who cared about peace, not about money….

If the Trump Administration can indict Raul Castro, does that mean other countries can indict Trump? I would gladly hand him over for prosecution.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off
