I'm so glad the Women's team did not show up to that bullshit. I'm so proud of them. This is why I love women's sports.

Trump is the only POTUS
to hire illegal immigrants
in 2 different centuries,
bc he didn't want to pay US workers
a living wage

Jesus & God both demand we welcome the stranger,
but racists found a less-woke messiah
they substantially prefer.

Trump has declared war on states that oppose him. Itโ€™s time to stop him Donald Trump and his cronies are engaging in a highly coordinated, systematic effort to force all state governments to submit to his will.

One year into his second term, Trump has instead declared war on his opposition. Itโ€™s time we put an end to it, Common Cause Virginia Kase Solomon writes.

FEMA denied or didnโ€™t advance most Kerr County flood requests Advocates are questioning why so many applicants from the flood-ravaged county have not received federal disaster help. Nonprofits are trying to fill in the gaps.

Trump felt bad about the Texas floods? Then why is FEMA holding back on relief??? #TrumpsStateOfDelusion
