When the affairs of a nation are entrusted to a family, it is seldom long before the interests of the family are mistaken for those of the nation. What is called diplomacy may then prove only a more elegant species of corrupt transactions.

This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them. DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

I have escaped from domestic violence. The domestic violence was not just contained to the home, but also involved weaponization of systems. I hope to do a fuller accounting of what happened one day to bring light to this problem. For now, here is my "Thank You" note to Joe Biden & the VAWA.

And here’s the punchline America can’t seem to escape: Trump may be the most unpleasant, chaotic, self-absorbed figure ever to hold the presidency… and half the country keeps treating him like a scratch ticket that might someday pay out.

It’s infuriating the priorities are so glaring. Massive handouts to foreign leaders or billionaires, while everyday Americans get crushed by rising costs and health care they can barely afford. It’s like watching a government whose loyalty is everywhere but where it’s actually needed.
Bernie Sanders v @BernieSanders
If you're the Qatari royal family worth $335
billion, Trump gives you an Air Force facility in Idaho.
If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout.
If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

Donald Trump transformed politics into an ultraviolent Thunderdome. He did it for his own advancement, and he didn’t care what the consequences would be. It’s *also* true that since Trump poisoned our politics there’s been violence from both Left and Right, though mostly Right.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
