OMG -- you gotta watch this -- Fox & Friends is big mad that a bunch of rising Dems, like El-Sayed & Ossoff & Talarico, are attractive 😆😭 Check out this chyron: "THE LEFT SWOONS OVER 'HEATWAVE' OF NEW DEMS" "We have an actual supermodel that's First Lady and she can't get on the cover," they whine

Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing
DEAN~ Sunday School was a blast live. Greco/Ki and Mad Dog/Slade was a terrific 1-2. Preist/Slim J and the opener were also excellent. Main event was well booked chaos!

For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoTrump on Washington DC: "They used to go in and rob the restaurants. You wouldn't feel safe in a restaurant. It was like the old Wild West -- they'd say, 'Sick 'em up. Give me your money.' The whole restaurant is handing them money."
