Am I naive or should every Democrat running for office have overturning Citizen United be part of their platform?

As long as Trump is renaming agencies, he might as well change the EPA to the EDA - the Environmental Destruction Agency.

This one is definitely fishy but can’t figure out what the game plan was for the shooter in terms of what he expected to happen to him once taken into custody.

Never heard about Blaze Foley until i went down a songwriter rabbit hole last fall starting with John Hartford and a longtime favorite, Gentle on My Mind. Once i got to Townes Van Zandt, who i knew a little, it was a short hop to Foley. Have really enjoyed learning about them all and their songs.

Do you have any more information on the status of this child?

Any chance they will stand down and refuse to deploy?

Correction: a majority of white women who VOTED. Half of Americans didn’t vote and that is the real tragedy IMHO.

I’m in western Washington and grow all kinds of hardy greens this time of year. Had an omelette today with arugula, spinach, parsley, mustard and Brussel sprout leaves. Didn’t really know the latter was worth eating but looked it up and tried it. Liked it better than kale!🤷‍♀️

Do you live somewhere warm or did you grow that basil in a greenhouse?

Martina knows the danger. She lived it. You matter. Your voice counts. Do not freeze. Do not shrink. Keep your head high and speak loud. We still hold our rights… for now. Stand up while we can. Are you with us? Join the fight now.

Hi Susan - I completely understand. These are very dark times and any person who deeply cares about living in a caring and just society should feel disturbed. Know that most Americans are feeling fully or in part the same way. You are NOT alone! Friends, exercise, music, art, nature all help. Peace!

TY…I have the same questions and utter disbelief! How have we fallen so far in so short of time?! We had an incredible diplomatic core and now we have Witkoff and Kushner. 🤦‍♀️

Urgent: Trump National Security Strategy Embraces Authoritarian States and Abandons Democracy in Significant Shift I spent the past several hours reviewing Trump's national security strategy. It is a stunning departure of American norms and ideals.

This is incredibly disturbing. I certainly hope this get widespread coverage and serious push back from all sides in the Senate and House.

The MSM needs to cite these facts each time Trump and his cronies say they are preventing fentanyl from coming into the US from Venezuela. Also other pesky facts like most fentanyl comes from Mexico, small boats with 11 men on board don’t have much room for cargo and can’t make it as far as the US.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

At every mass shooting, I blame politicians that consistently vote for basically zero gun control measures and voters that insist they do so. Because of them, our country is flooded with guns and the same politicians blame the ensuing violence on POC and Democratically run cities.
