Abomination and disgraceful.

The train is headed into Vets Auditorium in December, @radiofreetom.bsky.social. Probably last time to see the β€œEmpress of Soul!”

Um. Methinks the last place Mrs. Miller would spend her day is with the riff raff at our excellent DC public libraries. Fake news!

And to vote against Harris. We are a bored, decadent nation, and we wanted a show, not a minority woman with actual plans for governing. The voters got bored with the show that replaced White House Apprentice, so they brought it back.

43 percent. That’s the story. Don’t look at Trump. Look at your neighbors.

No. I thought Americans would stop before sacrificing the health of their children on the altar of their resentment.

@jaketapper.bsky.social . Tapper? Tapper? You should be in chapter 3 by now.

Shocking only Donald Trump, Trump’s grand summit with Putin accomplished nothing but to help Putin, while embarrassing the US on our own soil on the world stage and harming our allies.

The irony is not lost on many in Washington that Trump says spitting on a DC cop is justification for hitting/punching back "hard" when he pardoned hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted those same cops β€” and said attacks on them that day were "minor."

Remember all the members of the media who spent 2024 downplaying concerns that Trump would rule as an autocrat.

"This will go further"

Yeah, we know. That was always the plan.

This is insane. And as dictatorial a power grab as we’ve ever seen in US history. Most of all, though, it’s also just unneeded. Crime is at a generational low in DC.

So, now what? Maybe @jaketapper.bsky.social writes a book!

How many little kids right now meant to grow up to become scientists, academics, artists, may never get the same inspiration we did just by turning on TV for free, because we used to agreed as a society that was worthwhile to offer everyone
