Starting my weekend off right with a great Book of the Month Club haul! With all of the chaos out there these days, a good book or two can certainly keep you grounded:

Brian McGinnis, the Marine veteran who was protesting against Donald Trump’s war with Iran, confirms that his arm was broken yesterday after being manhandled by Senator Tim Sheehy and Capitol police.

Bury them in a lawsuit.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

That and he thinks this is his Bin Laden moment; it all links back to his twisted obsession with Obama.

Everything good that Obama received, he wants(Nobel prize, anyone?) and everything Obama created, he wants to destroy.

It’s very 90s psycho killer, if you think abt it:

No amount of bombing school girls in Iran will change that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and Republicans don’t give two shits about protecting little girls.

Remember when CBS refused to air a 60 Minutes segment regarding inhumane conditions in a Salvadoran prison where the U.S. was deporting migrants?

Why did CBS refuse to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas?

Dementia has its on and off moments, so he’s definitely teetering on the edge there. I think Europe has finally seen that they’re on the own for certain things at the moment, not due to any sleight of hand by Trump at all.

It’s a parody of Trump from Kristol. It would be great if Miller was booted out but sadly, he has more clout than Wiles.
