All I see is a frail, old, angry man who needs a haircut. Sick. The way-too-large red hat is foolish.

He’s been picking on Ukrainians, Hispanics & now Somalis. Sick.
These groups are not our enemies - his GOP enablers are.
The dumb way-large-too red hat, is it covering roots from his silly yellow dye job? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Video: The Aftermath of a Deadly Strike in Western Ukraine At the site of an apartment building in western Ukraine where a Russian strike killed dozens of people, the New York Times reporter Kim Barker heard reactions to a 28-point U.S. proposal to end the wa...

It's appalling that a US President is proposing a "Peace Plan" to benefit Russia, which is stealing a neighboring country's territory, attacking apartment buildings and murdering families.

Trump sees nothing wrong with this? www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

Brilliant! I hope MTG goes this route -
She would become the hero of everyday people who are discouraged about whether we'll ever learn about what's REALLY in the Epstein records.

Remember how only just last month Trump gleefully hinted at his long relationship with El-Sisi?
He just can't resist boasting about own past crimes. Trump is thrilled with having gotten away with collecting $20 Million in cash - over 200 lbs in US Hundred dollar bills. Bill Barr protected Trump.

You HAVE to read this book! Jessie Liu, then US Attorney close to the case of Trump's receipt of $10M from Egypt, was moved out of her job by Bill Barr. Not allowed to transition in a way to preserve and pursue their sensitive work. Her successor had one question "Who else knows about this case?"

Trump's "Peace Plan" is even worse than capitulation. He's actively advocating FOR Russian and against Ukraine.
For totalitarianism and murder, AGAINST democracy and peace.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Yesterday ICE arrested a 17 year old student here in Oregon. They broke his father’s car window to pull him out. When told that Christian Jimenez is a US born citizen, the reply: β€œI don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Omitted from the Mueller Report was a telling detail: when the multimillion -dollar Russian troll farm learned that their efforts to help Trump win the 2016 election were successful, they popped champagne and declared "We made America Great."
Sickening details, also about $10M Egyptian illegal cash.

European Leaders Back Zelensky After U.S. Plan Leaves Them Out

Surreal and distressing that there is a "US-Russia" plan for Ukraine, siding against our European allies and what is obviously just and right.

I agree: β€œThe call for the β€œEpstein files” to be released is right [and] only the beginning. We…need the full financial, contact, and internal books from both Trump Model Management and MC2 Model Management…” The system that enabled Trump , Epstein and others.

No deep breaths. Action.
Call your congressional representatives in the morning to ask how they are working to be sure the COMPLETE Epstein records will be released. Complacency (declaring this a big win without getting all the documents) insures that Trump will pull off yet another trick.

He’s going to sign it, because the plan (trick, ruse, call it what you will) is to provide incomplete files and escape accountability (again).

This is only a win if the Epstein files are complete and not redacted beyond recognition.
Tell me, Will there be oversight?
Because if it’s not, Trump for sure will lie and slither away from accountability as he always does.

Contact your Senators & Representatives to make sure they work to INSURE that Epstein files are genuinely INTACT when released to the public.

It’s believe you!
I’m worried for my friend, who is working overseas. She may not be safe to return and without a passport does this jeopardize her job? This is a cruel attempt to erase trans citizens.

It’s all well and good to pass the Epstein files act, but what is being done to make sure there is transparency - that files are not deleted, redacted beyond recognition??????
Trump announcing he supports this ONLY means he’s meddling with the files and does NOT intend the public to ever see them.

Sadly, most doctors don't have a clue. At least they sure didn't 15 years ago.
It can actually be dangerous pursuing treatment because some will prescribe the wrong things.
I traveled out of state - consider myself lucky to have been able to do so. I'm certain that HRT has improved my Healthspan.

That said, I'd rather continue to pay out of pocket for my HRT ($$$$) and have a normal, conspiracy-free, science-first HHS, CDC.
HRT is life-enhancing and should be standard of care even after Kennedy is long gone.
DHEA, Progesterone/Pregnenolone, Bi-EST & Testosterone creams.

Oh boy. Someone with a better understanding of HRT should have helped with the editing here.
Although current HHS comments about HRT are sometimes silly (laden with male-perspective reasoning), this therapy has been great for me - over 15 years now! Maybe it will be covered by Medicare now.

We were being warned about the dangers of Christian "Conservatism" back in the 1980's the GOP has been diabolically ingenious about exploiting, thereby enabling fringe ideology that should have nothing to do with governance.
