If Republicans are only voting during presidential election years they’re doing patriotism wrong.

Women are driving 2-3 hours to EC to deliver babies. If they need specialized care they have to get flown to Marshfield or the cities. Closing hospitals is causing prices to rise and healthcare quality to decline.

I’m pretty sure that lots of women, in the privacy of the voting booth, voted to re-elect Wisconsin’s Governor Evers contrary to what was expected for exactly this reason.

If republicans are only voting during presidential elections, are they even actually patriotic? Voting is duty, not just a right.

No one leave DC till noon on the 2nd. There’s a precedent for late night/ early morning surprises.

The shooter was outside?

I’m still boggled that the guy who has had more businesses fail than succeed, and made it clear that he was going to “ make deals” vs negotiate was elected.

I’m just sitting here not saying I told you so because I’m waiting for the naysayers in my life to be personally affected. I plan on saying yeah, that’s a shame. But didn’t you say that it was never going to go as far as I was worried it might?

Farmers markets used to be able to accept food stamps in our town but now SNAP restrictions have eliminated the program. The same restrictions have eliminated the FoodWise program run by the Extension Agency.

How does he think offering to bring out the national guard to protect the Olympics is an enticement? If other countries hear that there will be military personnel it sounds like an unsafe environment.

The Tolkien to Metalhead pipeline is not ironic.

I just shrug when people go on about danger in big cities nowadays after having lived in the Boston, New Haven, and Richmond metro areas during the 1990s.

Ok lots to get into tonight. What the proffer immunity for Maxwell means, Trump saying he hasn’t thought about a pardon (hint:he has said that before), how he was he greeted in Scotland and how Republicans are being greeted at home. And some thoughts and a great guest on media obeying in advance.

Which conspiracy theory is your current favorite conspiracy theory? Epstein's files? Obama's treason? God anointing Trump Ruler of the Planet? Hillary Clinton's drugs, pizza, computer?

The innocent being the children who were victimized?

Oooh! Thanks for reminding me!

They want to open a copper mine in one of the last remaining old growth forests in North America, the Porcupine Mountain region in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This could end up contaminating the Great Lakes.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I call deer long legged bunnies

Never heard of it.

AmeriCorps members who respond to disasters and help nonprofits are let go in DOGE cuts Young volunteers who respond to natural disasters and help with community projects across the U.S. have been discharged.

One of the first lessons I learned living in 1990s Richmond was that poll taxes and segregation weren’t some “ historical“ events but the lived experience of my only slightly older black neighbors….

just learning that the iconic canadian prog rock band "Rush" has introduced a devastating 5/8 tariff on all tempo exports to the United States

Voting is your duty as a citizen. It should have been made a day off a hundred years ago.
patriotism isn’t about flying the flag, it’s about being responsible and playing a role in the future of your country.
