Folks, it's happening.

We're releasing Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile this Thursday at 7 p.m.

There are nearly a dozen rural Georgia hospitals that are on the verge of closing soon, including Fannin Regional that’s close to her district line. St. Mary’s just ended their L&D in northeast Georgia because of federal funding. Between premiums jumping for many constituents and hospital woes… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

People hate what is happening, which means there are people around you who want to help stop it. You are not alone in wanting to take action. Step up and help; it works.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

There are many risks and developing heart problems is just one of these sadly. #Vascular www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinica...

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving themβ€”words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

She had no less than seven holes in her body from the shooting.

Martinez is a US citizen.

ICE agents shot a US citizen on US soil at least seven times. Her car was riddled with bullets.

I'm glad she's been released pending trial, but surely the agent who shot her should face charges?

A mass shooting in Alabama, but no, send troops to Portland. A democratic judge and senator's house gets burned down, but no, it's the left that's violent. Sickening.

Today’s tip: I am an expert on some things but not all things. Even with my expert topics I can still learn new things. Don’t rely only on ideas you learned already, be open to the new.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

This is now the FIFTH time we've voted on this bill.
