I'm straddling all the social fences...for now.

Peddling demonstrably false claims about crime rates in DC, Trump said, “It was a graffiti-filled, crime-filled mess. We turned it into Shangri-La.” It was an interesting choice of metaphors, since Shangri-La is a place that only exists in fiction. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

What Trump doesn’t (but should) understand about crime in Washington, D.C.

The president said he turned the nation’s capital “into Shangri-La.” It was an interesting choice of metaphor, since Shangri-La is totally made-up.

Doctor here-Story time: I received a call today from a sick friend in another state, & I recognized it as a neurological emergency sent him to ER. Likely diagnosis: Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis, which can cause blindness. 1 of the authors of original 1990 diagnostic criteria: Anthony Fauci MD🙌🏻🫡

This got me choked up. Ohio, thank you for this. 🙏🏽 And God bless Viles Dorsainvil, Exec Director of the Haitian Support Center. Haitians aren’t criminals. They were here legally under TPS until Trump stripped those protections. Yet we’re humiliating them by forcing them to wear ankle monitors.

The Dems should start labeling the GOP and Trump as “Corporate Socialists.” They always have money to help big business but never for the individual American.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Joan Baez painted a portrait of Dr. Fauci August 2020, featuring the word "TRUST" as a tribute to his scientific truth-telling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The viral artwork became part of her Mischief Makers 2 art exhibit and sparked a lasting personal friendship between the two.

Texans, don't let this poll fool you. You must get out the vote in Nov. Don't take anything for granted. Vote! Vote! Vote! New poll shows Talarico leading Paxton by three points, 51-48, and holding strong leads among key constituencies, including independent voters. bit.ly/4wabnYs

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
