No New Hampshire veteran should be forced to wait weeksβ€”or travel hoursβ€”for the care they’ve earned.

That’s why I introduced the Veterans Full-Service Care and Access Act to deliver a full-service VA hospital to New Hampshire.

Most vegan advocates I know don't get paid for what we do.
We do the work so they don't suffer.
Thanks to all of you who keep shining the light for farmed animals!

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Real question: are there no criminal charges that could be brought under New York State law against child sex trafficking Ghislaine Maxwell such that she does not get released from federal prison after a pardon, but instead can be remanded into custody in New York?

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: β€œIt makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on Trump's firing of head of Bureau of Labor Statistics

"The President is trying to cook the books by firing the non-political career civil servant who oversees the data, because he wants to hide the truth of his failed policies from the American people"

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Trump’s mental decline is undeniable β€” so what now? hemselves, that there is a problem, just as Biden’s supporters did for him.Β  Β  Donald Trump is showing all the signs of suffering from dementia. If this were a neighbor, a parent, or a family frien…

"In older people, confabulation is one of the clearest early signs of dementia...Once you have seen that Donald Trump is confabulating, it cannot be unseen β€” and all sorts of other mildly disturbing incidents suddenly fall into place."
