Please try to understand the very real indignity of Hillary Clinton supporting Latimer against Bowman. Right now it isn't about whether you think Latimer is a better candidate, it is that Latimer is who AIPAC wants-it's a different shade of wrong.

Greg Abbott's stunt of sending migrants to DC & NYC is backfiring. NGO's, churches, American citizens,& others are stepping up to feed, clothe, and house them. Doctors are providing treatment. Abbott has spent millions of taxpayer monies to bus them out. Texans need

Yes, it is always fun to see someone who is about to be put in handcuffs yelling at everyone around him that he is gonna "put them in handcuffs." So effective.
@fake_biden
Just read a good article on CNN: back in 1956, William Faulkner wrote a piece for Life Magazine that said the South will never change; they knew they were wrong before the Civil War and decided just to go with it. Sound familiar? Also, worst SCOTUS since just before Civil War.💔
@elonmusk
What a simplification of the overall truth of Biden's win. There was so much more to it; like, for example, he was the one most qualified to repair the damage Trump had done, knowing the ins and outs of all agencies, the responsibilities of the office, and on and on.
@WillMeyerPA
Will-I've spent my life being hurt by men, many who would sell MY heart and dreams for sex. I was destined for greatness; instead, I let them use me bc love was all I wanted. It was all she wanted from you and the betrayal is too awful for you to understand; but women understand.

@broadwatertmb
If we are believing of Cassidy Hutchinson, Meadows best defensive is that he couldn't stop Trump from doing what he did. But he still took part; otherwise, all those people wouldn't have been texting him. He has a lot to confess...A LOT. Conspiring w a SCOTUS wife and the media!!
@CalltoActivism
American patriotism is about knowing who we are and how we got here...she doesn't...Haley doesn't...DeSantis doesn't...Trump never did. I don't want another member of our government elected who doesn't know our history. So, I would concur-both.

I agree but saw the same tendency with Alito and Thomas. Spot on with that observation, though! They really did want to shut him up when he was listing their past precedents, didn't they?
@UncleLonny63
I was a new mother when Reagan was in office. I had no idea what he was doing-like in El Salvador where Eliot Abrams orchestrated the death of hundreds of women and children. And the union busting. And the trickle down. Started to wake up when he abused the poor. 💔🇺🇸🌍
I decided to change my profile photo. I am both very sick and very hopeful. But the polished photo shoot for a publisher is not what I want you to know me by right now. No makeup, sad, somewhat unwell by no fault of my own, getting older-brain and memory still intact.

Charlie Crist warned everyone from the debate stage; DeSantis has no intention of thinking about Florida when he is running for President; Florida is just his platform to get him noticed.

Get the bank accounts into your name. NOW. Before his death is publicly recorded. I am not sure what the stipulation for that is (may be custodial or another loophole) but think of your survival before you begin to mourn. You can collapse AFTER you're safe.

Excuse me? Those are not the facts, Mr. Cogan. Am I misunderstanding your intent here? Netflix pulled out of Russia and the stock market bailed on the result, without any moral stance. No one is going to support DeSantis against Disney; so far, 58% are against it.

Thanks for this post. What a good man. Yes. We lived with those draft aged men who lived with their fear who went or stayed or left and suffered the guilt and remorse; it was damn awful; the pain was palpable. Shed a lot of tears as a Quaker. Watched a lot of men falter. 💔💔💔💔

I am SO surprised this was in Philadelphia. In my high school there, we were open to diversity in all its myriad forms; this will go over very badly @ the main headquarters 440-the principal will be reprimanded if not transferred or let go. 📚📚📚☮️💔

Depends on what they were taught-I went to a Friends' School and it gave me a barometer of social responsibility, equality, and justice for the world; the educators were the best and I was soo lucky to be there. All of the 43 in my class went on to careers in public service. 📚☮️

Ted Cruz, @ 1pm on 6 January, was the first one to begin to assert that 10 states needed to be examined for election fraud; now we know that this was @ the bequest of TFG. He needed only one person to second that motion-Josh Hawley. Both continued their effort later that night.

David French has never tried to be anything but what he is; a good man, conservative by nature, and a believer in God. That does not make him a Trumpster, or a man who advocates against American values or the freedoms inherent in the Constitution. He's a great writer. I like him.

The inheritance tax on anything below $500,000 in NJ for my kids...I was a public school teacher for 25+ years. My kids deserve my house without having to pay taxes on it. We will figure it out, but it is morally wrong to do to a public servant.
@PaulSGundlach
They will get sued by Trump's lawyers if they don't use "allegedly." She could have added, 'despite it being a foregone conclusion of substantiated fact by many Americans.' I once witnessed Welker in a WH Press Briefing w Psaki where she attacked Biden wo substantiation. So.

I agree. I've lost a daughter, dead in utero @ 16 weeks and was hysterical over a D&E procedure, i.e., abortion. But I would never think to tell other women how to live their lives or determine their fates. Men do not have the right to dictate to women how to decide that-ever. 💔
