When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Look I’m an atheist, so I have NO dog in this fight. If Bishop Mariann Budde wants to use her pulpit to tell the most powerful person in the world to use compassion and empathy in his decisions, well I’m all for it. I’m honestly aghast that MAGA and Shitler are mad with her. #BeTheOpposition

And ICYMI yesterday:
The Trump administration ordered federal health agencies, such as the FDA, the CDC, and the NIH “to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.”

Is this how the "political hacks" act? The health of the people is secondary. The exercise of power is primary.
One would think that the accurate review would take place best while these Agencies are functioning and not when on pause.

Today's funeral for President Jimmy Carter is one of the nicest I've seen in a long time.
The speeches were just right, and paid proper tribute to one of the greatest human beings America has ever produced.
Farewell, President Carter.
Thank you for your service. 🙏🇺🇸
