I am so happy to see real reporting! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thank you!

Who is the reporter? They are great!

Her book, Unbound, is so good. She is so honest and complex and inspiring.

Your point is well taken. Your inaccuracies are not.

The topic, as stated in the banner, is Lindsey Graham, who is a Boomer, and his role amplifying the e messaging & lies about the war.

In fact the topic of their discussion, as noted in the banner explicitly calls out Lindsey Graham’s role in amplifying MAGA messaging about the current war. It’s the topic.

He never mentioned Hegseth on this clip. He mentioned Lindsey Graham, who is a Boomer. Your inaccuracies are noted.

When wealth and riches are used as a shield against your crimes it is not riches or wealth, but an expensive and entitled cloak hiding evil actions.

Excellent point. I never thought my generation would leave the world worse than when we entered it, yet here we are.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

I’m so sorry you have to experience this.
I hope communities are making plans to do what they can to support community members who are being affected by the cuts. Support food banks and community centers that provide services.

The implementation of Project 2025 & policies that increase income inequality are crippling for his generation, especially for women & marginalized groups. This war only makes it worse. His entire generation will be dealing with systemic issues of oppression not seen in generations. So unnecessary.

Mocker is 23 years old & his point is that his generation will be buried under debt, bad policies, & gross income inequality that this war exacerbates.

It’s always a woman that they make as an example of living on SNAP or other benefits. It’s 🐂 💩.

He told the stupidest lie I’ve heard today. There are so many items at a grocery store that every family needs that are NOT COVERED WITH SNAP. Condiments, spices, toilet paper, baby diapers, cleaning products…I could go on & on. Folks get what they can with SNAP, & purchase their other essentials.

So why would any woman vote for him in the run off if he supports a law that impedes her voting rights?

Does he not know that women vote and will take note that he wants making it harder for them to exercise their rights?

That is the stupidest lie I’ve heard today. There are so many items at a grocery store that every family needs that are NOT COVERED WITH SNAP. Condiments, spices, toilet paper, baby diapers, cleaning products…I could go on & on. Folks get what they can with SNAP, & purchase their other essentials.

Nobody is saying people are not smart enough to navigate the system to comply with the SAVE act. We are saying the unnecessary layers of bureaucracy add expense, time delays & burden government agencies already inefficient & cumbersome to navigate.
Call your reps.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Out of 10 men , one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, none of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective , the laughter, the silence , the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harassed women, but that most men helpmprotect the system that does.

Yea, I see the resemblance to the other nine men. Taking it in seriously.

During #WomensHistoryMonth, I can personally reflect on this, and feel amazed at how women have made history despite this built in disadvantage.

Backwards, in heels, and harassed.

have to all blow up because entitled white men would rather destroy the world than give up cede power. This is all a part of systems that protects pedophiles & throw victims to the wolves.

This nation won’t do anything to safeguard school children in their own neighborhoods or acknowledge who the perpetrators of violence are. The process of making room for belligerent, stupid men who got their feelings hurt and felt entitled to violence, led us where we are now. It’s probably going to

Yep. Everything they both do in front of a camera is performative. Neither have a moral compass, sense of duty, or even a sense of decorum. Empty vessels with big egos.

*wear. I need to proof better.

I wonder if anyone tried to tell him it’s disrespectful & vulgar to were a baseball cap at any formal ceremony, let alone Dignified Transfer of Fallen Soldiers. Vance has been known to get hung up on suits & ties at formal meetings, so I’m surprised he didn’t dress down the 🍊🤡 (no pun intended).

The ongoing construction in the terminal and baggage areas is a mess. Seattle is scheduled to host FIFA matches, so it will be a n absolute nightmare for the months of June and July. Do not travel there during that timeframe.
I found the Sound Transit link lite rail quite convenient & accessible.

Thanks for understanding and kindly calling me out. I wish there were more opportunities to have an exchange where I can see how my intended message does not read as I thought it did.
