It’s so good! I love Raquel’s writing so much! Absolutely brilliant character development.

How’s everyone feeling? I’m a little overwhelmed today.

Didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Didn’t engage in 4th celebrations. Two down.

There is a reason that rich people are the most vilified group in the Bible. It really is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

I will not be celebrating. Boycott the Fourth. Make it the most underwhelming in history.

Good night, America. I would say it’s been a good ride, but honestly, this is always what we’ve been.

I have no idea how these people sleep at night, or look at themselves in the mirror. The cognitive dissonance must be absolutely deafening.

This is all on Murkowski. I really thought she was going to do the right thing. I really did.

Holy shit.

β€œWhen you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood… remove the evil… from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.”

Congresspeople-

The president is NOT YOUR BOSS. You do not answer to him. You answer to your constituencies. Stop taking calls from the president.

90 days after judge's order, Trump administration has failed to restart refugee program Faith groups say thousands remain locked in limbo as the administration drags its feet.

In February, a federal judge β€”Β ruling in a case brought by faith groups β€” ordered the Trump admin to restart the U.S. refugee program.

Three months later, it still hasn't.

Faith groups say it's due to delay tactics that have left thousands of refugees languishing. religionnews.com/2025/05/29/a...

For conservatives being generally a group of people committed to stability and disliking change, they sure do have an appetite for chaos lately.

Republicans in Congress want to cut health care for millions of people... to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires.

Trump's first 100 Days: Tearing apart our Constitution, our economy, and our government
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Trump's first 100 Days: Tearing apart our Constitution, our economy, and our government

Donald Trump is tearing up our Constitution, tearing down our economy, and tearing apart our government.

It's been 100 days of lawlessness, chaos, and failure from Trump, Musk, and their cabinet of billionaires β€” and Americans across the country have paid the price.

Shameful.

We are not a β€œdeeply divided country.”

We are a disillusioned, voter suppressed, and indifferent country.

Trump’s approval rating has NEVER been above 50%.

The highest voter turnout on record was 2020, when a full 1/3 of eligible voters did not vote.

We are not divided. We are resigned.

ICE deports immigrant mother of an infant and 3 children who are US citizens, lawyers say Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have in recent days deported a Cuban-born mother of a 1-year-old girl, separating them indefinitely.

Can anyone who’s a lawyer explain how you can β€œdeport” American citizens?

Tell your red friends what is happening. Send them news links. Many of them literally don’t know.
