Many of you know she hasnβt been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. Sheβs strong, sheβs loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart sheβs going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! β€οΈβ Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.
Dolly Partonβs sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sisterβs health.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.
Weβve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employeesβ email systems, making some peopleβs automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the βradical left.β This was done without the employeesβ knowledge.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for peopleβs wellbeing at every turn.

"I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe: a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?" Gov. Tim Walz says if Trump were serious about stopping crime, he'd work with local law enforcement.
