Declare your candidacy for President of the United States on the steps of James Madison's home, where the man who drafted the US Constitution once lived.

Photos like this show how much these people follow rather than lead...they even hold up their thumbs on cue. This is one of the sad examples of what happens when you dumb down a nation.

What an amazing undertaking...the intensity of the sport reminds me of the effort of the legendary #DianaNyad

#DickCheney promoted a unitary executive. He pushed that agenda from his days in the Nixon administration through his ambitious years as vice president when he truly believed he was above the law. We are where we are in part due to Cheney and that is unforgivable.

As the unitary-executive calls for the starving of tens of millions of Americans, he issues orders to spend billions on new nuclear weapons testing. Rulers who hate their people are a danger to us all.

The war "he" was going to stop in 24 hours keeps on killing innocent people.

It is amazing how fast someone can take a perfectly good reputation and burn it up.

Consider taking on the loudest voices on the extreme right, rather than the professorial lectures to those who already agree with you. You must see what the Wicked Witch @lauraingram.bsky.social is saying on X...that is where the battle is, providing facts that prove them wrong to their followers

Will we ever again discuss what is best for the country and not for a political party? Will we ever put people first and stop catering to the political elite & their donors? Will we ever be Americans again?

I'm ready to shut this broken economy down. If only the wealthiest .1% benefit, then it is time to close up shop. Medicaid, SSI, are not optional They save lives!!!

There is MAGA, they hold the keys to the palace and only they can open the doors of government. Everything else is a blame game and beneath the dignity of the American people.

MAGA declares a war on Americans, calling it a war from within and all these guys can do is threaten to close down the government. MAGA is anti-American, anti-democracy, and anti-Constitution. They are the only group at fault

Does the court have the authority to override congressional authority? This is a rule by fiat government, not the rule of law

2 #NATO countries borders are crossed by Russia, Poland and Estonia. It would seem, by statements and actions, the US has already withdrawn, quietly. What say you, America?

Fair to say he heightens antisemitism, increases the hate domestically & internationally. He cozies up to Putin and others who have antisemitic views their entire lives and he prepares the next scapegoat for when he needs it. What better plan if there is an economic crisis than to blame the Jews

I met Borg following the qualifying rounds for his first US Open. He was on the train to NYC from Long Island with his doubles partner and their coach. I would see him again at the open, in the locker room...after that, only on TV. He is very much a part of tennis history.

The interesting thing about last week's tragic events is how fast extremists get on the same page, use the same language, & go on the attack. They were waiting to pounce, like with executive orders after the swearing in 1/20/25 Strategically impressive nationally damning

remind the #Murdochs of #FoxNews that everyone of their hosts, guests, and on camera personalities represent them and their family. This includes their children and grandchildren. They came to this country were afforded special rights to own TV stations and then trashed the USA. Shame #rupertmurdoch

Is it a reminder of Kirk's influence, or MAGA's use of imagery and symbols? The young martyr is a powerful image.

The MAGA office holders & their supporters know that if they don’t fully consolidate their power that when America returns, they will be tried for treason and jailed. The history of the world, including these divided United States, still bends toward justice

What were they celebrating? Their personal achievements? The world that allows them the freedom to create is crashing down around us...their party is like the last night in Rome, or Berlin. We have moved from "interesting times" to "dangerous times".

Who will hold Putin's feet to the fire on Ukraine? Who will bring up the LGBTQ people forced into UN refugee camps in countries where they are not recognized as refugees, and the law calls for death? Who will be courageous enough to call out the USA for its reversal on 200+ years of democracy?
