Learned right from wrong before Kindergarten. Dislike abuse of people deemed weaker than abuser. Hoping the USA recovers from Trump and the chaos he has wreaked before I die.

FUN FACT: The Bible doesn't say *anything* about abortion. Ever. Well, except for the time God provides a handy recipe for a magic potion to induce an involuntary one. Numbers 5:11-31

“Regardless of his intentions, words from a president matter, and those who wish us harm are listening,” Anthony Arnaud writes in a letter to The Times. “Mr. Trump is utterly unfit to be commander in chief or a leader of any kind.”

ICE  probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.
The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

Here are some statistics…. #SheShed #FDT
record 89% of Americans say their government is corrupt.
Twenty years ago, it was 59%.
91% of Democrats say that the US government is corrupt.
So do 83%
of Republicans.
Just 17% of Americans trust Washington to do what's right.
In 1964, it was 77%.
Lobbying hit a record $5 billion last year.
That's 11% more than 2024, even after inflation.
86% of Americans want Congress banned from trading stocks.
It's still legal,
ANGE

Georgia's election board director just asked the Trump admin to seize the state's voting machines. James Mills, an unelected official, sent a letter asking the DOJ to declare Georgia's voting system unlawful and force a system update. This isn't over. Stay close: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.

Trump always identifies with the alleged rapists, not the victim. Never the victims. So it's not surprising that we live in a world where only about half of the Epstein have been released. We also live in a world where Donald Trump is mentioned more than 38,000 times in the Epstein files.

"Nothing to lose." Read that again. It's the most dangerous phrase in business, in negotiation, and in war. Per US officials…Trump is reportedly weighing boots on the ground in Iran after the midterms. When a man stops counting the cost….we damn sure better be.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.
