I’m making homemade tomato sauce for the first time with tomatoes *from our garden*. My apartment smells like bruschetta and it’s just incredible. I’m so excited for dinner.

I knew I liked him.

If any of y’all haven’t seen Gavin Newsom’s tweets trolling Trump, you need to check them out. It’s the funniest shit I’ve seen in weeks.

I just want to shout out and express my gratitude for everything you are doing for the people of America. I don’t live in CT anymore, but you make me proud to be from there. Thank you.

Only 3 House Republicans are needed to sink Trump’s Big Stupid Bill, according to this article by the Wall Street Journal.

Three House Republicans have an opportunity to actually do something good for their constituents. Don’t fuck it up.

I donated money to the Harris campaign, and I don’t regret it.

However, I’m still getting emails looking for donations.

If the DNC wants to raise money, they should start selling β€œObama 2028” hats, because fuck the Constitution, amirite?

Someone needs to remind Governor Hot Wheels that he’s a DEI hire and wheelchair ramps are β€œwoke”.

Russia currently occupies 20% of Ukraine. That’s more than a β€œthin sliver”. Russia can achieve peace anytime it wants by leaving Ukrainian land. Since they won’t, there will only be victory for Ukraine if they can sufficiently fight back. SLAVA Ukraini πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

You can always trust DuoLingo to teach you the important phrases.

(It’s Ukrainian, not Russian. If you want Russian, go talk to Agent Krasnov).

I’ve been on the fence for a while, but it’s time. The time has long come. I have chosen to commit, and will do my part to encourage others to do the same.

If Russia really wants peace, they can stop the war anytime by leaving Ukrainian land.

Trump loves the poorly educated. He said so himself.

I love this idea. I have cats, though, so it will have to be an electric candle.

Jasmine Crockett’s comment on Greg Abbott had nothing to do with the fact he is in a wheelchair and everything to do with the fact that he is an asshole.

I personally will be referring to him as β€œGovernor Hot Wheels” going forward.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you were on, the fact is: this is gross negligent mishandling of classified information.

I don’t want to hear ONE g’dmnd thing about Hillary’s emails.

It’s just your biggest rally *so far*. There will be more, and they will get bigger.

Thank you to you, and to Bernie. I’m so excited to see that turnout. Thank you for continuing to give us hope.
