I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Brilliant.

"While Florida insurers claimed to be losing money in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Michael, their parent companies and affiliates were making billions of dollars, according to a study obtained by the Herald/Times." And it appears that the DeSantis administration tried to keep it under wraps.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

If it looks like a cult, walks and talks like a cult...it's very likely a cult. We know everything we need to know about cults if we will allow ourselves to remember.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

This is what I mean.

If you remember, Trump wasn't too troubled by 9/11. 'Now I have the tallest building in NY.'

Goddam fools.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

“We’re going to find billions, hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud and abuse.” — Donald Trump So, let’s have Elon and his team of hackers dig through everyone’s secret data to “fix” the problem. There’s a reason he’s using hackers instead of data analysts and experts in the field.

Yes.

What are they going to do with the people who stand together against this insane plan? Do we understand what would have to happen in carry this out? I think RFKJr. is like Musk's kid, trying to repeat what the grown ups said. Disgraceful. And fucking insane.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

I don't know how to make this smaller when you open it. A goddam psychopath is doing this.

I want Michael Steele level emotion from every Dem Senator and Member of the House when they address Trump and Musk. Don't complain because groceries are still high. Scream and shout because our country is being torn apart from the foundation up.

I remember when cocaine was the indicator of an extreme surplus of disposable income.
