Does she have parents that have to listen to her stream of lies? How very proud they must be.

Imagine what Trump could do with the power over his cult if he made a speech like this; if he called for love and unity instead of hate and division.

Amazing. You may be single-handedly holding back the flood.

You’re Kenvue Brands and the President and HHS Secretary are staging a full assault on Tylenol with unsubstantiated claims — what’s your move?

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

Can anyone verify the rumor that they’re swapping out the longtime GOP mascot with a sycophant?

Sometimes locating the objects of one’s study may require coming at record collections from dozens of angles — subtle name variations, geography, and relations/associations — until you find the tiny crack. Persistence is a virtue. #genealogy

I guess once you’re okay with “it is ethical to purchase another human”, moving to “I own their children as well” isn’t so big a leap.

What a conundrum: Trump has called for the death penalty but pardons white criminals.

Many rewarding finds this weekend on semi-related Sullivans and McCarthies in the Iveragh region (aka Ring of Kerry). Reminds me that little details may have great significance. #genealogy

What a surprise that Trump would go after the black woman at the Fed. He is consistently racist.
