Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.
Embarrassed and furious that many Dodgers are at the White House right now. It’s a stab in the back to Los Angeles and their fanbase. Their ownership group should know better. Shame on them. Credit to Mookie and Kiké for opting out.
