you missed one!

Administration: It's unfair to criticize members of ICE because there are good people working for them.

Me: The fact that they're willingly working for ICE is prima facie evidence that their status as "good people" is questionable.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

New Research Details 'Human and Economic Toll' of US Abortion Bans | Common Dreams A Monday report from the Center for Reproductive Rights features various profiles demonstrating "the human and economic toll" of US abortion bans.

Just like Trump says on his funeral cap.

The remarks to this post are well worth reading . . .

Kaine: "As we saw in Vietnam & Iraq & as I think we're seeing now, our troops sometimes get betrayed by poor civilian decision making. They're gonna do what we ask them to do in wonderful ways, but when civilians don't make good decisions, who suffers? Them. We've had 7 troops come home to Dover."

Stop acting like evidence doesn't exist about teens being raped by Trump, Esptein, Maxwell, and the Epstein class - BELIEVE THE VICTIMS!!!!

Same "News Network" that tried painting Maxwell as a victim.

Sharing my art process. #art #bluesky

If incompetence were a sport, this cabinet would be undefeated.

These guys are the business version of that Air France pilot who crashed the plane because he had learned from the start with autopilot and didn't really know how to fly without it. A generation of Business Guys who have never had to think about a single actual business thing
