I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Judge Emmet Sullivan got the Epstein files but the email addresses and the names of the sender are still redacted, claiming that the senders are victims. I'm waiting for the judge to demand the full release.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
These signs should be on every hiking trail in Oregon and across the US .
Poor Jeanine Pirro. It’s always sad when a vicious liar loses their job because they unscrupulously tried to ruin the life of an innocent American hero to appease the most repellent man in America. Drink up, sweetie.
Demented old man has the power to launch a nuclear war. He is a raging threat to humankind. Please Congress- you must impeach him
So Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and to complete the trio…..🤡💀 ?
ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.
Kentucky Voter on Mitch McConnell: Your retirement is long overdue. Give it up. We don't want you. You're not representing us well, so don't represent us at all.
Agreed. No tears shed over this guy. The worst thing about Graham is that he was always quite lucid about the danger of a Trump presidency and yet he embraced it anyway--twice. Another addition to my "piss on his grave" tour.
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed. And we will deserve it." - Lindsey Graham.
Erling Haaland was the final Norwegian player to leave the stadium and staying to meet fans, sign autographs, and take photos ❤️ His humility and connection with supporters made him one of the biggest fan favorites in the United States during this World Cup 🫶🇳🇴 (Via TheMozKnowz/tw)
I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.
You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to good affordable health care and the best public schools. You are actually part of an American majority.
The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
Nigel Farage is the son of a stockbroker who went to Dulwich College before becoming an investment banker himself. He owns 5 homes and has spent most his adult life working as a politician, first as an MEP and now as an MP. He is the establishment. open.substack.com/pub/harryecc...

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.
I wonder how much this latest name change is going to cost American taxpayers. 🤷♂️
