Step aside for a new Dem Senate Leader, Schumer. This woman knows how to fight!

Is it wrong to fangirl and say I met her at 17 when she spoke at my college? You know that first time you go to a literary event as a college student simply because the event is free and you want to take in everything your first year? She is a treasure, as a writer and a speaker.

My teen told me it's like she's Hoover all over again. Unusual reference for her age. Then she told me she learned it from Annie, "the original with Albert Finney."

The problem is more than people don't follow the news. It's that many people don't know who Pinochet was. AND they don't believe they would ever "disappear."

Friend: Who are you rooting for?

Me: I am a Dave Roberts fan.

Friend: Wait, you're a Dodgers fan??

Me: No, I am a fan of The Steal.*

The frequency of his vacant stare has increased significantly. It's on schedule for people moving from mild dementia (which is easy to mask) to more moderate/advanced stage. Dementia generally has a 5-10 year prognosis depending on stage at diagnosis. I'd say he's in year 7.

YouTube video by Ohh that's RICH This #immigration raid has the makings of a landmark case

Think we'll see a 9-0 SCOTUS decision with today's court???

He's on TV a lot for a Dep Chief of Staff. Is it just me or does it coincidewith Trump talking less often to the media?

The rise of Christian nationalism and Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk has seeped into men's psyche through the horrific addictive social media algorithm that promotes conflict and anger.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

According to rough AI calculations from OpenSecrets, total campaign $$ from health insurance companies and related PACs to Republicans in Congress since the 2020 election cycle are likely between $68 million and $70 million.

They know the group to benefit are insurance companies who raise rates on those insured to cover the cost of those forced to drop insurance.

Why does he care about Argentina more than US citizens?oh yeah! He's helping his oligarch friends profit from the currency fluctuations and all my the billionaires that hold bonds on Argentina's debt. #narcissism

The unwillingness to own their disgusting comments illustrates another problem with the R party. I miss the days when shame was an emotion that changed horrific behavior.

💯 Mario would read him the riot act for ignoring the discrimination his grandparents and parents experienced as new immigrants.

He should be using a cane. He had polio as a kid. If you need support to walk, use the support. We need to normalize supportive devices I suspect he refuses bc he doesn't want to look as old as he is and that is the problem. He froze in a trance twice as Maj leader. Age limits are needed.

Free markets??? Don't remember him speaking out against his president when govt took shares of US Steel and Intel.

Are they on YouTube? I'd love to see some of these. Or maybe you summarize here or on substack?

Time to push the Google search on Plenary Power to record levels. Because most Americans don't know what that term means or the history of it in the leaders of other countries.

We are living in a police state but few acknowledge it. People never learned history or don't remember it. I'm ashamed to be an American. We need an economic strike. If everyone quit Amazon, FB and stop buying Apple for 3 weeks, the oligarchs would buckle.

Oh wow. You have named something I have experienced, intensely, yet didn't know what it was. Thank you.

We're living in a police state but few are acknowledging it.

The immaturity of his response about "your side as well" is laughable in the US House Speaker if it weren't so embarrassing.

This talk reminded me of a newbie investment banker pitching what he thinks is the best deal ever the night before he is let go for not cutting it.

He is the puppeteer. He makes me want to vomit

How dare they insult veterans. Makes angry. And disappointed that any American thinks it's OK to say that.

And he was never a great orator to begin with!
