Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Instead of proposing limiting student loans for early childhood education majors because they don’t make enough money to pay back the loans, why don’t we PAY the people trained to teach and nurture our youngest students MORE MONEY for the incredibly important work that they do?!?!? 🤬🤬🤬

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.

Imagine 200 Americans. In this crowd,
24 live in poverty.
18 have no health insurance.
42 are illiterate.
45 have untreated mental illnesses.
35 have an
untreated addiction.
134 live paycheck to paycheck.
23 have experienced homelessness.
59 are victims of domestic violence.
20 have experienced discrimination for their age, race, gender, or religion.
1 is transexual.
Some people would have you believe that this 1 person is the greatest threat and the biggest concern for everyone else in the crowd. How does that make sense?

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
