“Support our veterans” looks great on a bumper sticker. It looks thinner when the VA appointments stretch into months, and the benefits lag. Fixed incomes and service-connected injuries don’t wait. November doesn’t either. #BlueWaveIn90Days

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.
Trump claimed his Qatari gifted flying palace was going to his presidential library, but now he's saying maybe not. He wants a different older Air Force 1 to go there instead. Obviously he wants to keep it as his personal plane, but isn't sure how to do it legally. www.rawstory.com/trump-luxury...

"The Real Food Show is yet another sketchy media production from a high-ranking member of the Trump administration, which prioritizes content creation and self-enrichment over substantive policy — a grim yet fitting state of affairs for a presidency that owes its very existence to reality TV."
This isn’t remotely true — again, reference the Economist cover in October 2024 calling the US economy “the envy of the world” — and if anything it’s true if the world Trump handed Biden in Jan 2021.

83% of Missouri voters just rejected an amendment to eliminate the state income tax and shift the tax burden to working families. That plan would have cut services and given the richest 1% a $40k/year tax cut. Red state or blue state, everyone wants a fair tax code to fund our society.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

The hilarious thing about this slam on Jeanine Pirro is that Donald Trump *quite famously* doesn’t know how to fold an umbrella.

Rumor per CNN: Jeanine Pirro may join Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, and Kristi Noem in the misogyny wing of the 'fired for being a subpar criminal' club.
