Foreign troops on US soil. Another first for making America Great Again.

WTF!

At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

Her term doesn’t technically start until next week. So for now only the speaker can swear her in; but starting next week any federal judge can do it.

The Epstein Train is gonna go full steam ahead in only a matter of time ⏰ Delaying the inevitable.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

Shareholders should never be mentioned as part of a health care system. They are the broken piece.

Because y’all chopped up the original ACA bill so bad it wasn’t remotely close to what it was designed to be because y’all couldn’t shut the fuck up about it being socialism. It couldn’t do what was promised because of Mitch Fucking McConnell and his band of idiots. So please fuck all the way off 🤬🤬

All to cover up the Epstein files.

It sure can! I’m trying to figure out if I can play my saxophone in an inflatable costume 🧐🎉😂

And rebuilding Gaza does NOT include handing over seafront property to Donald freaking Trump for his resort!

Atheist dropping some scripture:

We’ve always been warned that standing up for what is right is usually not easy.

If I thought religion made people better, I would still be engaging with it.

But it doesn't and I'm atheist.

God is either not all good or not all powerful.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

I really don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️

Picture of small groups of people walking through a wooded hiking path. Orange leaves have fallen on the ground but the background is thick with green trees.

Picture of 4 children walking through a path of short grass surrounded by tall grasses. The path leads to Quaker lake. On the other side of the lake is a large hill of trees with patches of them beginning to change colors.

Went camping for the weekend with my aunts, uncles, cousins and now our own kids in Allegany state park in NY.

Heater, an orange cat with BIG eyes, nestles herself in a sea of grey blankies.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

I am sick to my stomach after watching this.

🧵(3/3) I guess I’ve been holding my breath this last year, hoping he’s right & hoping someone or something will intervene to end the nightmare that is this administration.

🧵(2/3) son finally told his mom,

“Terrible things will happen. People will die. There’s so much anger. It will be bloody. There’s fire and sadness. But the chaos doesn’t last longer than 1 year. There is hope and healing after that.”
