Just a lump of thinking meat made from stardust. Life begins at first breath. Abortion restrictions violate the 1st Amendment. Trans rights are human rights. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump - the Axis of Evil. An #EnemyWithin

The exhibit on impeachment has been returned to the Smithsonian, with edits.

Trump loathes and fears impeachment and removal. He is desperate to control the narrative about it.

Isn't that a clue that it's the thing we should pursue? ๐Ÿค”

Convenient. Obviously the sections Trump wants to ignore.

They live in the upside down. They think that giving you due process would have been profoundly wrong.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Big ideas need determined, courageous hearts. Universal Child Care is something other industrialized nations provide, and we could too.

If I were the next president I'd turn that Ballroom into an exhibit of President Pedo's crimes and Netanyahu's war crimes and genocide.

I'm sure Gavin Newsome can turn California all blue with the right amount of gerrymandering. I'm glad we finally have some Democrats who are willing to fight back.

In interviews about her run for governor @MarshaBlackburn is still saying Trump has "drained the swamp", despite him being the most corrupt president we've ever had with no close second.

Is Tennessee media going to let her get away with that? (Sadly, we know the answer)

Sounds like AI gave you an outline of how to start a business, but no actual business. I think AI just sold you on the idea of getting into AI.

Get back to us when your new business actually has customers sending you real money.

"we" who? If #PresidentPedo is followed by another Biden, nothing will happen, just like nothing happened in 2021. I don't think the DNC would nominate someone who promises to go after the criminals in the current regime. Democrats reach across the aisle even if the other side won't reach back.

It absolutely did not enhance the stability of our financial services system, and it in fact allowed the whole housing bubble that burst during the Shrub Administration.

Aftermath of the repeal of the Glassโ€“Steagall Act - Wikipedia

> President Bill Clinton's signing statement for the GLBA summarized the established argument for repealing Glassโ€“Steagall Section's 20 and 32 in stating that this change, and the GLBA's amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act, would "enhance the stability of our financial services system"

We knew he was joining a fascist regime when Trump nominated him. I'm really sad that Rubio is so stupid that he didn't realize it at the time.

So far this week Joanna Cherry has come swinging in defence of a sex pest, shortly after doing the same for a homophobe.

Just in case anyone was checking in on how her crusade for the rights of women and lesbians was going.

Political parties should never draw districting lines. It's like letting the fox design the security system for the chicken coop.

It is anti-Democracy to the core.
