My-na. Lifelong CT Democrat. Mother of 2 remarkable adults. I believe in O’Toole’s Law: he said Murphy was an optimist. Waiting for the denouement.

Trump and Hegseth have killed 230+ people on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific with no proof they did anything wrong, no congressional approval, no nothing. Just 2 unhinged fascists ordering our military to commit murder. Vote against all Republicans for the sake of all that is decent.

“What a crock of sh*t!” Katie Phang torches Todd Blanche after he declares, “There’s not a prosecutor in this country that should ever, ever violate a court order,” pointing to the Trump DOJ’s documented noncompliance with court orders in her OWN Epstein files lawsuit.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
