Curious mind, mild political addiction and beekeeper so anxious about climate stuff!
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.

US Treasury raises third-quarter borrowing estimate to $739 billion
The U.S. Treasury said on Monday it expects to borrow $739 billion in the third quarter, $68 billion more than it projected in May, as lower projected cash flows were only partly offset by a higher-than-assumed starting cash balance.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’ (Gift Article)
A small stable of doctors gave V.I.P. medical services to the sex offender and the women around him. Some doctors bent or broke the ethical rules of their profession.

The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.
Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47
On average it takes a DV victim 6 or 7 times to permanently leave their abuser It’s the most dangerous time for the victim and sadly not all live through it I was beaten almost to death before I realized that the next time would be the last time if I didn’t leave
Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

Under Trump: -There are 18,000 cyclospora cases across 45 states -Millions have lost ACA & Medicaid coverage -Measles cases are at a 35-year high -New "forever chemical" pesticides are in our food supply -Crucial public health agencies like the CDC & NIH are gutted "Make America Healthy Again."
